MayDay4Palestine 2024

1st of may = 1. mai = international workers day = arbeitertag = may day = mayday = may1 💖

~~~

a) for the coverage of may day history (chicago 1886) pls jump to the end of my last year's post

b) there were 3 protests / demos / celebrations in munich today:

• rindermarkt = the revolutionary may day celebration = youth workers & anarchists unions like FAU => pro peace & pro palestine & against israeli genocide & against the conservative + nationalist AFD party & against capitalism & ... => my conclusion? it was a MayDay4Palestine, like almost everywhere all over the world today 💖
• marienplatz = dominated by mainstream and by the government friendly biggest labor unions DGB + ver.di + police labor union + IGM => pro government, pro NWO, pro higher wages, pro social fairness, ... at least there were also few old communist & marxist groups who stood pro peace and pro solidarity among workers and nations ... => not a single palestinian flag out there despite the genocide against a whole nation happening live in front of our eyes and in front of all world's eyes. the ukrainian + israeli flags hanging at the town hall even underlined the hypocrisy of germany's current government & mainstream media & mainstream opinion ... => so sad 😓
• karlsplatz = exile iranians against the mullah regime
• königsplatz = nothing today, i was wrong, i should go to the odeonsplatz
• odeonsplatz = libertarians from MSA (münchen steht auf) movement established in 2020 against the unlawful corona measures => pro peace with russia & against NATO & against german government & pro freedom for julian assange & ...

two of us celebrating may day aka workers day ...

what happend in the streets of the world today? MayDay4Palestine, MayDay, police against workers + police against people in paris / stuttgart / london / istanbul (here have the demonstrants beaten the police) / ... peaceful demos in munich / ireland / cuba / russia / brazil / colombia (president gustavo petro declared that colombia cuts ties with israel over war on gaza) ... 

today on TWITTER (elon musk's X): 

Police are the enemy of the people. All over the world. ... You're watching French cops brutally attacking workers at the #MayDay celebrations in #Paris this afternoon. Cops ain't workers. Cause oppressing people ain't a job. #antireport #ACAB

Hail #MayDay! 01/05/2024 Worldwide: Police clash with labor unions at the May Day parade in Paris. German police used pepper gas & truncheons against activists at a May Day demonstration in Stuttgart. On May Day, over 1,000 workers blockadef the UK Trade Department in London.

=> workers of the world unite against the so called 'elites' & governments & police 💪

enjoy few pictures from peaceful demos in munich today:

the mainstream may day celebration @ marienplatz

letter chain: gegen militarisierung + sozialabbau?

a really small communist group for a revolution and against war

a communist group for re-establishment of the KPD (communist party of germany) stood pro workers revolution + against war (orchestrated by the collective west in ukraine, palestine & co.)

DKP, the german communist party, newly founded in 1968 after

the original KPD was forbidden in 1956 by west germany's government

stop the genocide in gaza + the poster left were the hidden advertisment

for the revolutionary may day celebration at 1 p.m. at nearby rindermarkt.

the ukrainian + israeli flags at the town hall underline the hypocrisy

 of germany's current government. so sad 😓

a piece of history: hitler's nazi germany and the sad game of labor unions

NATO + collective west in unlawful war against serbia / yugoslavia 1999

they make germany ready for a war against russia. the big labor unions DGB + ver.di + IGM

are again pro war and pro weapon deliveries to ukraine. so sad again 😓

children inside the town hall

justitia. there is no justice in the collective west any more ...

freedom for julian assange

revolutionary demo + MayDay4Palestine at rindermarkt at 1 p.m.

the ruffinihaus from 1903-1905 consist of three connected houses

the final steps of the protest march through the steets of munich.

unfortunately, we have been only very few people ...

special police units ready to clash with us at rindermarkt :-(

palestinian lives matter

water tower löwenturm from 15th century at rindermarkt is one of the oldest buildings in munich

MayDay4Palestine at rindermarkt

germany is the 2nd largest weapon supplier to israel behind USA. shame on you,

USA + germany, you have the blood of palestinian babies in gaza on your hands!

students pro palestine

youth anarchists labor union FAU (Freie Arbeiter*innen-Union)

ruffinihaus as seen from the sendlinger street

ruffinihaus + rosenapotheke

exile iranians against the mullah regime @ kalsplatz-stachus

arts in front of the beautiful in-justice palace

die linke party against war. at least as long as in opposition

königsplatz, the wrong location today

MSA against war in ukraine and pro freedom for julian assange

the german green party as part of the government coalition is pro wars in ukraine + gaza

the u.s. green party (dr. jill stein) would be probably against wars, wouldnt it?

~~~

conclusion? our western governments and their small dirty police cops & military are our real enemies ...  => how to overthrow them and replace with nothing, so that without any 'leaders' could the people live in brotherhood & peace? any ideas out there?

few more munich demos pictures here.

MayDay 2023

MayDay / international workers' day / long live the working class / workers of the world unite 💟

may,1st is since 1889 the day of the traditional workers' fight for their rights because of the events at haymarket 1st-4th may 1886 in chicago (scroll down for the coverage of the 1886 events).

my perception today

MayDay by google today

there are usually 2 events in the center of munich:

marienplatz: the mainstream labor unions DGB, verdi, polizei-gewerkschaft (police labor union), IGM, normally also the mayor of munich + professional music, food, beer, ... all of that supports 'the system', you know? why? we've seen it during the corona lockdowns in 2020 + 2021 as they cancelled the 1st of May event completely due to governments guidelines ... so sad 😓

rindermarkt: anarchist (FAU) & communist (KPD, FDJ) & young people trade unions, which are against 'the system' and pro peace in the ukraine & pro international workers solidarity & the like => that's why there is also a vast numbers of highly armed police forces against us demostrants.

i like the spirit of both events, so i march with the young & revolutinary people through the streets and then eat some food from volXküche (food for free, but donation is appreciated 😆), listen to some music at marienplatz

slogans:

• a anti anticapitalista, a anti anticapitalista, a anti ...
• hoch, die, internationale solidarität ... hoch, die, internationale solidarität
• deutsche waffen, deutsches geld, morden mit in aller welt
• 1. Mai, straße frei, nieder mit der polizei ...

my last real mayday event due to 'anti corona' measures & lockdowns was in 2019. 

both, in 2020 and in 2021 it was officially not allowed to make a demo / celebration and the mainstream labor unions like DGB, verdi, IGM even cancelled the traditional mayday event. not so the communist, anarchist, marxist and some youth organizations. we just came 'by coincidence' at same time to the same place ... and yes, the police was already there 😇. of course, our demos were much more difficult, but really nice if you asked me ... in 2021 we've met in front of a court buildng and highly appreciated the adjudgement of one judge from weimar against the government's position in some corona related law suit ... and then met the other worker activists at the anarchists assembly point at rindermarkt ...

... only the nazis under hitler and the current 'corona-dictators' which is an alliance of WEF + WHO + RKI + our corrupt government managed to prohibit the gathering of workers at the international workers day in munich. well, the celebration & demo were forbidden, but it was allowed to walk in the streets by keeping the 1,5m distance. so we just did so 👿 ... germany is quite liberal, you see? in some other countries they would probably beat, capture + shoot on demonstrants, wouldn't they?

dirty mainstream media 😨

this fellow on the pedestal is the killed police officer 👮, not one of the many

by police killed workers or one of the 8 activists 👥 sentenced to death by corrupt state

more info on the historic event, the haymarket riot on may 4th, 1886 in chicago when a protest against anti-labor police brutality turned violent. was it really a riot? or was it more likely a provocation & false flag action by the police at a time when the most out of the 2,000 striking workers (& all key note speakers & the mayor of chicago) went already home, the rain came and only about 500 workers were still there?

• general info #1 
general info #2
• more info on the 8 labor activists (7 of them sentenced to death)
• more info on who threw the bomb at the police (It's never been established who threw the bomb - there are claims it was a police agent among the anarchists, Rudolph Schnaubelt, creating a pretext for what happened next.)
• pulman-strike, chicago 1894 

anarchists leader august spies: "the day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you are throttling today."
