May Day 2013 Statement of Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT)
The Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT) sends its May Day greetings to all fighters for the liberation of the working class and the oppressed people around the world. We call them to join us in our struggle to build new revolutionary parties and a new Workers International. Such a World Party of Socialist Revolution can only be born in the class battles against the capitalist monopolies and imperialist powers.Participating in these struggles and movements, revolutionaries must fight against the official leaderships who consciously or unconsciously mislead the workers and oppressed – the treacherous labor bureaucrats, Social Democracy, Stalinists, petit-bourgeois Nationalists and Islamists.
Revolutionaries need to spread a program of struggle for working class power among the masses and its vanguard:
* Support the Revolution in Syria! Down with the Assad-Regime! For International Solidarity Brigades!
* Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Libya: Down with the pro-imperialist Islamist regimes! Workers, Peasants and Poor, Prepare for the Second Revolution!
* Smash the imperialist Apartheid State Israel! Support the Palestinian Resistance – Forward to the Third Intifada!
* Down with imperialist aggression and wars! In Afghanistan, Mali, Somalia, Iran, North Korea: Defeat the imperialist NATO forces and their local allies! Defend those resisting the imperialist invaders! No political support for nationalist, Islamist or Stalinist forces!
* Support the independent trade unions and workers strikes in China! Equal Rights for all citizens, irrespective in which province they work and live! Down with the Stalinist-Capitalist Dictatorship! National Self-Determination for Tibet and East-Turkmenistan!

* Expropriate the multinational corporations from US, EU and China! Defend Argentina against British imperialism and kick Britain out of the Malvinas!

* Support the workers and popular struggles in Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria against the imperialist plundering! Exit the EU and fight for a Workers Government!
* Smash the imperialist EU by Socialist Revolution! For the United Socialist States of Europe!
* Workers, Black People and Migrants in the US: Fight for the Independence of the Trade Unions, the Black and Migrant Organizations from the capitalist Democratic Party!
* Oppressed of all countries: Fight against any form of discrimination of the rights of women, black people and all national minorities, migrants, the youth and Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender!
* Environment: Fight for a Workers Emergency Plan to save the planet! Nationalize all polluting industries under workers control! Convert the Energy and Transport System and for a Global Phasing Out of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy Production connected to a Public Employment Programme!
