Tel-Aviv, Israel-Palestine, March 8 — Over 100 working women and men marched in central Tel-Aviv to mark International Women’s Day. Two PL’ers joined the march and distributed CHALLENGEs in Hebrew and English.
This march was dotted with red flags and represented multi-ethnic unity of working women. While small, the march was very sharp, politically speaking, with the red flags and energetic chants of “The Answer to Racism is Revolution” and “The Answer to Sexism is Revolution”.
We in Progressive Labor Party welcome the demand for revolution. Indeed, while we do disagree with the organizers of the march on many subjects, to have International Women’s Day marked with red flags and chants calling for revolution was a very welcome change from the liberal feminist slogans and commercialization seen on this day.
As our Party continues to grow we will have our own contingent marching on International Women’s Day under our own flags and with our own chants, not merely calling for a revolution, but for a communist revolution.
