Zohran Mamdani never actually said "globalize the intifada."

Why celebrate May Day?
This year, in taking the streets, we are showing each other who is prepared to fight:
"Take a stand—we'll be there, too."
Every year, we are showing that we are part of a story greater than ourselves, stretching back centuries.
Life reinventing itself in defiance of death.

This is the most urgent and necessary read and will always be my top recommendation. You can read for free it on the anarchist library website but having a small copy in your hands does wonders for the heart.
Copies of Joyful Militancy are ready to ship from IAS HQ! This corrective to the toxicity of rigid radicalism is more essential than ever amidst rising political repression. Available at anarchiststudies.org
