Soviet flag sparks anti-communist frenzy in Czech Republic!

An act of political defiance at the Brno city council in the Czech Republic has once again exposed the rabid anti-communism of the Czech ruling class and the broader reactionary campaign underway across Europe to criminalize the communist movement.  

On May 19, during a council session, a woman raised a Soviet flag in protest against the gathering of the Sudeten German association in the city — an organization tied to the legacy of German revanchism and the post-war dispute over the Sudetenland. Police immediately intervened and authorities launched an investigation against the protester for allegedly promoting a... “totalitarian ideology”! 

TKP condemns judicial intervention against CHP, warns of growing authoritarianism in Turkey

The recent judicial intervention against the Republican People’s Party (CHP) has been met with sharp condemnation by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), which described the move as an unacceptable state intervention into the internal affairs of a political party and another step in the Erdoğan government’s broader authoritarian offensive against democratic and political rights in Turkey.

 

Communist Workers' Platform USA: Unyieldingly on the side of Cuba and comrade Raúl Castro!

Statement by  Communist Workers' Platform of the USA on the Indictment of Raúl Castro and Imperialist Threats Against Cuba

"The Communist Workers' Platform of the USA denounces the profane indictment of General Raúl Castro by the Trump administration as a further escalation of its aggressive campaign to strangle the Cuban Revolution. Guided by its dangerous plans for control in the Western Hemisphere outlined in the National Security Strategy, US imperialism is utilizing this indictment to lay the groundwork for a military attack against Cuba and its people. 

Communist Party of Venezuela denounces Rodríguez government’s submission to U.S. Imperialism

Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S. Air Military Maneuvers over Caracas and the Deepening of Imperialist Tutelage:

"The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), elected at its 16th National Congress (November 2022), categorically rejects the U.S. military air maneuvers scheduled to take place over Caracas on Saturday, May 23.

These military operations represent a dangerous escalation of imperialist interference in Venezuela and a direct affront to national sovereignty.

A large and militant march of solidarity with the heroic Cuban people swept through the streets of Athens as the Organizations of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) led a powerful demonstration against U.S. imperialist aggression and the criminal blockade imposed on Cuba.

VERGOGNA! Meloni government pushes Marx and Gramsci out of Italian schools

The far-right Italian government is once again revealing its deeply reactionary political agenda. Under the guise of “educational reform,” the administration of Giorgia Meloni is moving to marginalize Marx and Gramsci from philosophy programs in Italian high schools, provoking outrage among academics, teachers and intellectuals across the country.

The attempt to push Marxist thought out of schools represents a deliberate effort to reshape education according to a conservative, nationalist and openly anti-communist narrative. 

Ukraine officially rehabilitates Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk

The Ukrainian authorities have proceeded with the official repatriation and honoring of Andriy Melnyk, leader of the notorious Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-M), once again exposing the increasingly open rehabilitation of fascist and collaborationist forces within the country’s official historical narrative.

Melnyk was one of the principal leaders of the OUN, an ultra-nationalist and fiercely anti-communist organization that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. Despite repeated attempts by Ukrainian nationalist circles to sanitize this history, the political character of the OUN remains inseparable from fascist ideology, ethnic chauvinism and collaboration with the Nazi occupation.

Communist Parties of the U.S. and Mexico: Hands off Raúl Castro, hands off Cuba!

Communist Parties from the United States and Mexico have condemned the recent indictment of Cuban revolutionary leader Raúl Castro Ruz by the U.S. Government and the continuous threats of the Trump administration against Cuba. 

CPUSA: Hands off Castro! No war on Cuba!

"The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States. 

Communist Party of Greece (KKE): Solidarity with the courageous people of Cuba against criminal imperialist plans and any attempt at military intervention

In a statement concerning the aggressive actions of the United States against Cuba, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) emphasizes the following:

“We condemn the provocative issuance by the United States of an arrest warrant against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro —a move through which US imperialism once again bares its teeth against the heroic Cuban people, whom it has long sought to strangle economically through the criminal blockade imposed upon the country.

KKE MEPs to the European Union: Stop covering Israel’s pirate attacks in international waters

The European Parliamentary Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has sent a new letter to the Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, condemning the latest Israeli pirate attack against the solidarity flotilla heading to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

The letter by the Party’s MEPs, Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, reads as follows:

KKE MEP: Any attempt at US military intervention in Cuba must be condemned and prevented

During the hypocritical debate on human rights in Cuba held at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE’s) MEPs intervened through a statement delivered by the Party's Eurodeputy Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos.

The debate, which began with High Representative Kaja Kallas remaining silent on the US embargo, soon descended into an outpouring of anti-communism, attacks, and threats directed against Cuba. These, however, were firmly answered by  both the KKE MEP and other MEPs.

Big tech’s AI scam: Working America pays the price

By Nathan Richardson 

In the spring of 2026, as the U.S. economy teeters on the brink of stagflation and recession, America’s tech giants are once again shifting the burden of the crisis onto the working class. Meta is axing 10% of its workforce (roughly 8,000 real people) with cuts beginning in May and more planned later this year. 

Projections show deeper reductions could reach 20% by year’s end. Amazon is gutting over 30,000 corporate jobs, another 10% slice of its white-collar staff. These are not ‘streamlining’ measures. They are decisions driven by the structural logic of capitalist accumulation, presented as ‘AI efficiency.’”

Raúl Castro is a hero: The real criminals are the U.S. Imperialists

By Nikos Mottas

Raúl Castro is certainly not a criminal, regardless of how desperately the Trump administration attempts to portray him as one. He is a revolutionary who dedicated his life to the struggle against dictatorship, foreign domination and capitalist exploitation in Cuba. The renewed threats surrounding a possible U.S. arrest warrant against him are nothing more than another act of imperial arrogance by a state that has spent more than sixty years trying to suffocate the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sabotage, economic warfare and permanent political aggression.

In the coming days, the second National Congress of the Communist Front (Fronte Comunista) will take place in Rome.

Delegates from across Italy will discuss the new theses, which mark a major political, ideological and organizational strengthening of the Party.

KKE and AKEL condemn new Israeli assault on Gaza solidarity flotilla

On Monday 18 May, Israeli forces intercepted a solidarity flotilla (Global Sumud Flotilla) carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza in waters near Cyprus, triggering strong reactions from political parties in Greece and Cyprus.

Sweden: Thousands marched in Helsingborg against NATO and militarization

More than 1,000 people participated in a major anti-NATO demonstration in the Swedish city of Helsingborg on May 16, ahead of NATO’s upcoming informal summit scheduled for May 21–22.

China, the “Thucydides Trap” and the Illusion of “Anti-Imperialist Multipolarity”

By Nikos Mottas

President Xi Jinping’s invocation of the so-called “Thucydides Trap” during the recent hosting of Donald Trump was not a neutral geopolitical observation. It reflected a real and sharpening contradiction within the imperialist system: the contradiction between the dominant US-led capitalist bloc and the rising capitalist power of China.

According to the bourgeois theory of the “Thucydides Trap,” war becomes likely when an emerging power threatens the dominance of an established hegemon. 

KKE: Comment by the International Relations Section on the establishment of the so-called “SOVINTERN”

On the Plundering of the Soviet Legacy 

At present, two main tactics are being employed by the bourgeois classes in the territories of the former Soviet Union against the communist movement:

Pavel Blanco: Mexico's social democratic governments have yielded to U.S pressure

During the 24th IMCWP Working Group meeting held in İstanbul, soL TV - the Youtube channel of the soL News Portal - spoke with Pavel Blanco, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Mexico. In this interview, he assesses the latest developments on the recent imperialist aggression against the Americas.

 

The interview's transcript is the following: 

 

War against Iran: Trump's whim or a link in the strategy of US imperialism?

By Eliseos Vagenas 

The critical developments in the Persian Gulf region, marked by the US and Israeli military attack against Iran , which began on February 28, cast their shadow over global developments.

Every bourgeois media outlet and analyst has grabbed a “daisy”, trying to guess “will Trump strike again, or will he not strike again”. Such an approach, however, leaves important aspects of imperialist plans far from our attention and cultivates the mistaken perception that the peoples are hostages of a personality (Trump), who may not stand firm in his logic. 

Jordanian communists remain imprisoned after more than 65 days of detention

More than 65 days after their arrest by the Jordanian authorities, cadres of the Jordanian Communist Party remain under detention in a clear case of political persecution and anti-communist repression.

Thousands of students across Greece voted for “Panspoudastiki”, strengthening the militant student movement and delivering a clear message against the anti-education policy of the New Democracy government, the commercialization of higher education and the reactionary plans for private universities. 

On Politics, Ideology and Anti-Zionism

By Nimrod Flaschenberg and Reem Hazan

Israel, with the support of the United States and the West, has used the pretext of the October 7 attacks to prosecute a campaign of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and imperialist expansion for the past three years, reaching a record level of violence not seen since 1948. It has been relentlessly bombing and killing Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians, and other civilians throughout the region, dispossessing or razing to the ground entire communities in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
