May Day Address 2026

3 May 2026.

Another happy May Day comrades. Apologies for the delay in publishing this address. Illness has finally sufficiently receded to return to standard procedure.

It must be said that the lack of May Day greetings, particularly in light of the recently announced programmes of the Two Nevers, is a cause for concern, if it is not patently disturbing to witness. That some comrades feel a simple acknowledgement of 'you too, comrade' in response to a 'happy May Day' is beneath their consideration, demonstrates just how deeply the liberal individualist disease has infected the mores and ethos of the sociality of the Left, including the liquidation of any high cultural outlook. Such anti-social individualism, it is to be feared, will provide the conceptual petrol for the fiery spread of the Yezhovite mind-set. This worrisome condition increases the likelihood that we may end up being one split or crisis away from the chances for a terror-purge of some kind. A mass shunning is nay less a terror-purge because of its utilisation of merely 'social' or 'voluntary' violence, in our view.

The fact that it must be issued as an order on the hurt of consternating reprimand for comrades to be comradely on May Day of all days, to greet each other on this holiday of supreme significance, is a sad testament to the growing pervasiveness of the twin anti-social malaises of individualism and hostility, which have always proved something of a problem on the Left, but which are seemingly becoming massive hindrances recently once more. Shunning and mutual hatred are specifically resurgent pass-times of the US Left. It is nay wonder that the Left with the least interest in cultivating a prescriptive, positive high culture, in the land where liberalism is most predominant in every facet of society, sociality, and the history of the material conditions, should suffer the most severely from these malignant deviations from collective, sacred comradeship. This comradeship has only been championed by the Left, by the social-ists and the commun-ists, for hundreds of years at this point! That this phenomenon has begun to arise in the European Left is the more troubling aspect.

We must remember to uphold the Two Nevers: Never Shun a Comrade and Never Stifle Discourse. Not only must we uphold the Two Nevers on sacred holidays such as May Day, but also in our practical work on a daily basis. The consequences of allowing comradeship to falter in favour of individualism, dogmatism, hatred, and shunning (social purges), as history has amply demonstrated, is extremely distressing and ruinous. Thus, on this May Day, we wish every comrade a wonderful and comradely day of triumphant labour, and day of remembrance for those comrades who gave the sacrifice to join the shade of the immortal Crimson Standard.

To the First of May!
