Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.

International Workers' Day - 2026

China: May 1st – International Workers’ Day – Celebrating the Empowerment of Women & Girls! (1.5.2026)

Zhong, 49, who is also a deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, and an inheritor of the She ethnic martial arts, said: “Only a thriving village can preserve the She ethnic martial arts.”

Under her leadership, roads were repaired, streetlamps installed, and tourism facilities upgraded. Instead of moving away, many villagers became homestay hosts or martial arts performers. Thanks to rural tourism centered on the She ethnic martial arts, the village’s revenue jumped from 200,000 yuan ($28,000) in 2021 to 500,000 yuan in 2024.

According to the 2022 progress monitoring report of the Outline for Women’s Development in China (2021-30), women accounted for 54.3 percent of neighborhood committee members and 41.3 percent of neighborhood committee directors, as well as 26.1 percent of village committee members and 10.9 percent of village committee directors.

Data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs showed that in 2022, there were 489,000 village committees, with a total of 2.154 million village committee members. And there were 118,000 neighbourhood committees, comprising 663,000 neighbourhood committee members.

Zionist Fascism Will Be Defeated!

UK: May 1st 2025 – Unapologetic Maoist Internationalism! (3.5.2025)

What it all comes down to is this – class enemies are class enemies – regardless of the colour of their skin, and we should not become confused by this. A non-White person is not necessarily our ally – and a White person is not necessarily our enemy. Watch and listen – see how they act and comprehend their mind-set and intentions. Have no doubts about this – be dialectically certain, strong, and direct. Adjust yourself to circumstances, continue to prevail, and do not allow the enemy any easy victories. Fight them mentally, fight them emotionally, fight them physically – and always ascertain the right time to perform each allotted task. Do not compromise working-class dignity and always strive for change and the defeat of the false consciousness the bourgeoisie imposes all the time. Never inwardly or outwardly surrender! Remain “free” even in a prison cell!

May 1st: Brave Yemen Continues to Confront Zionist-Fascism and its Collective West Allies! (1.5.2025)

Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi on the anniversary of the Scream and on the latest regional and international developments – 03 Dhu al-Qi’dah 1446 AH | 01 May 2025 AD:

Our operations continue deep inside occupied Palestine against the Israeli enemy, and the American enemy has not been able to stop them.

– Naval operations continue, and there is a complete closure to Israeli navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea.

The Israeli enemy is desperate to regain its ability to benefit from navigation in the Red Sea.

The clash continues with American naval vessels, led by aircraft carriers, which rely on the tactic of escape and manoeuvre.

The aircraft carriers Truman and Vinson are trying to adopt an escape tactic to avoid our operations.

The problem with the downing of the F-18 is not limited to its material value, but also to its moral value through the clear American confusion.

It has become clear that the aircraft carrier Truman will depart with the title of failure to perform its missions.

There are many interception operations carried out against American aircraft during their aggression against our country, and a large number of their operations are foiled.

The Americans sometimes resort to carrying out their aggressive operations from long distances, before penetrating Yemeni airspace.

The Americans failed to achieve their goals. They were unable to weaken or end the capabilities, and they were unable to stop our operations.

The Americans were unable to break the will and morale of our dear people, and this is the most important aspect of all.

The British are a servile follower of America and the old weak arm of the evil Zionists.

The British are implicating themselves and should await the consequences for participating in the aggression against our country.

UK: Happy International Labour Day – Comrades! (1.5.2025)

The struggle of the workers is universal and ongoing – regardless of the forces of oppression arrayed against us – and those forces can be substantial! Take solace that the dialectical power of history is on your side despite your individual misery – and that one-day its class buoyancy will remedy the alienating inversion – and turned everything the right way around! Today’s suffering will become tomorrow’s joy and liberation! As Marx said, prepare for betrayal and setback – prepare for ruthless oppression. These things will come to the workers with the greatest of ease. What we must fight for is our own liberation – and this is a battle that will be long and hard! Collective freedom is only achieved through often immense individual suffering. When the Irish Nationalists used to be Marxists – they used to say “Alone – Together!”

Through Our Labour - We Change the World!
