DECLARATION 8 March 1911/2011
According to a historical reconstruction, but still controversial reliable, on 8 March, International Women's Day of Action, has its origins in the great strikes of the early century of textile workers in particularly the long strike that saw more than 20,000 New Yorkers seamstress, which lasted from 22 November 1908-15 February 1909, fighting, despite the fierce repression of police and bosses, against the terrible working conditions, particularly the reduction work, equal pay against child labor.
In one of these factories, where hundreds of workers, including those of 12/15 years, worked squeezed into small spaces, with locked doors to prevent theft by the owner, pauses, and above all in that year to prevent the strike, a fire broke out in which 129 women died within minutes. The workers tried to escape the smoke to the flames coming down the narrow stairs outside but were bent and gave way to the weight and warmth. Dozens of them fell on the pavement below. Other thronged against the locked doors from the outside, screaming and desperate women overlook. They climbed on the window sill and fell on deaf ears. Hair and clothing of many were on fire. The inside of the shirt was hell. The deceased, initially lined up on sidewalks, will be collected in simple coffins and identified grazie a una scarpa carbonizzata, un bracciale, un dente, un anellino. Si è dovuto aspettare fino a quest'anno per identificare 6 di esse, di cui 3 italiane.
La Conferenza internazionale delle donne socialiste, tenutasi a Copenaghen dal 26 al 27 agosto 1910, approvò la proposta della comunista tedesca Clara Zetkin di istituire la Giornata Internazionale della Donna, in ricordo queste operaie tessili. E la prima celebrazione avverrà l'anno successivo, 1911.
Quello che è certo e va affermato con forza oggi contro la borghesia, ma anche il femminismo istituzionale e piccolo borghese, che l'8 marzo nasce dalla lotta delle operaie contro il doppio sfruttamento e la doppia oppressione del capitale, dei suoi governi, del suo State.
On March 8, International Women's Day by becoming the international communist movement and internationalist.
A century of struggle and proletarian rebellions and feminists for their rights, for equality, for the emancipation, against the double exploitation, and the double oppression of capitalism and patriarchy.
For a century of revolutions, the "revolution within the revolution" of women, for a society free from oppression: Communism.
