On May 1st, we celebrate all workers of the world who are oppressed by the exploitation of their labor power by the forces of capital accumulation, depriving all workers of full profits. The benefits of workers' labor make the rich richer, while the poor who create all the wealth of the world get only crumbs under the existing neocolonial capitalist socioeconomic ecosystems of production, distribution, and consumption.

There can be no true freedom for the workers of the world under economic systems that exploit their labor and condition their mental processes by a series of spider webs that enslave labor for capitalist accumulation.

We dream of true freedom in a world where the labor of all workers in all countries rid themselves of capitalist, imperialist ecosystems of class divisions and human alienation. We must dismantle these systems of exploitation, oppression, and class rule, and take control of their own lives and destinies, and control political power in the name of the working class.

We must create new ecosystems minus capitalist exploitation, where the ownership of social production will be in the hands of the working class, for the full benefit of the working class—out of the hands of the existing patriarchal systems of dehumanization, oppression, and class rule, as all these systems only produce more poverty, racism, and human alienation under a system of slave masters versus slaves.

WORKERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
END ALL EXPLOITATION OF LABOR POWER!
SELF DETERMINATION, AUTONOMY FOR ALL WORKERS OF THE WORLD!
OUTLAW CAPITALISM!

Xinachtli (pronounced she-nawsht-lee), aka Alvaro Hernandez, was born in Alpine, Texas. Born into a racially-segregated society, he was forced to attend segregated public schools and experienced the violent policing of Chicano barrios. At 23 years old, Xinachtli was put in jail for the first time and convicted for a crime he didn’t commit. He soon began his study in law and prisoners’ rights, which led him to study histories of global revolutions and movements, such as the anarchist-communist Mexican Liberal Party and the Black Panther Party, leading him to the works of thinkers like Ricardo Flores Magón and George Jackson. Through his study he re-birthed and dedicated his life to eliminating the racist and oppressive colonial occupations across Turtle Island and the world. A respected Chicano freedom fighter, Xinachtli has been recognized nationally and internationally as the coordinator of the Ricardo Aldape Guerra Defense Committee and spearheaded the National Movement of La Raza, Stop the Violence Youth Committee, and Prisoners Solidarity Committee in Houston, Texas, where he is known as a symbol of resistance. As of 2025, he has served 27 years of his 50-year-long sentence, 23 of those in solitary confinement. Today, he is known as a writer, poet, artist, leader, and respected elder. He has written countless essays addressing a spectrum of topics including anti-imperialist movement building and historical analysis, some of which can be found on his freedom campaign website, freealvaro.net.
