2026 is the fourth International Workers Day also known as May Day that I will call myself a Progressive Labor Party member. Every year I see new changes in myself and in this very special community. I really trust this Party to lead the revolution. All of my comrades here in the Party are understandably impatient for this day. I include myself in that category.

If I could give one piece of advice I would say look internationally, to the international Party and to the international working class. We have all been in the position of experiencing a local triumph. We overcame the resistance of reformists to lead a militant and ambitious struggle and won the admiration of the working class and oftentimes a reform. But the revolution still seems so far off.

Look to the international working class. Talk to them about your criticism and self-criticism. Talk to them about their experiences. Ask for their advice, ask "What should I be doing? What do you think of what I am doing?" Like we say: build a base in the working class. 

If you don't know anyone personally, read about the situation and when you meet someone from a place you read about, be sensitive to how they might be personally affected but then talk about politics with them. I grew a lot this way. Every area should have international connections, and every member should be involved in international work.
