Reflections on May Day - Eleno A contribution to Reflections On Mayday 2000. We do not agree with all of this text (notably its "anti-imperialist" support for nationalist struggles) but reproduce it for reference. Because the hour of liberation is far away it does not mean that this is the hour of surrender. Despite the emergence of the new anti-capitalist movement', the revolutionary struggles to replace capitalism world-wide are in a very severe crisis, the worst since the First World War in fact. I don't want to be pessimistic, but it is a reality that most activists have failed to grasp. To understand this would be useful in constructing the new movement.
