The European countries where communist symbols and organizations are banned or restricted

By Fernando Ariza

In recent years, various European countries have implemented laws that prohibit the public display of communist symbols, as well as the existence of communist parties, in the context of a reactionary wave of anti-communism. 

Interestingly, at a time when socialism has long since disappeared from the European continent, the authorities are legislating with the aim of criminalizing an ideology that has historically been linked to significant social achievements for workers, especially during the early stage of the Soviet Union.

By Nikos Mottas

A new provocative attempt to equate communism with Nazism and take measures against communist symbols took place in the European Parliament, “Rizospastis” newspaper has reported. Five MEPs of the European People's Party (EPP) asked the Commission to ban the hammer and sickle - which they shamelessly equate with the Nazi swastika (!) - just a few days after the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Fascist Victory of the Peoples, led by the Soviet Union and the Red Army.

In a statement, the EU Parliament Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) denounces the new initiative of the European Union which equates Communism with the monster of Nazism. 

More specifically, the KKE statement (here in Greek) reads:

In a meeting held on January 29, the new jihadist government of Syria under Islamist Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Al-Jolani) decided to ban the activities of parties that participated in the so-called National Progressive Front, including the Communist Party of Syria. 

The activity of Syrian communists goes back to the 1920s with the foundation of the Syrian-Lebanese Communist Party in 1924. Despite its internal splits and divisions, the Communist Party had always been a progressive and democratic force, struggling for the rights of the Syrian people. 

Another shameful anticommunist resolution of the European Parliament, full of unhistorical references

Once again, the European Parliament confirms its role as a political institution dedicated to the promotion of anti-communist lies and falsification of History. 

 

In a statement, the Europarliament Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) denounces a new delirium of anti-communist propaganda by the majority of the European Parliament. 

The statement (here in Greek) reads:

The Crisis of Soviet History of the Stalin Period and What We Should Do About It

Speech by Grover Furr

 

The history of the first workers’ state, the USSR, during its heroic period, when it was led by Joseph Stalin – that history is withheld from us. It is smothered by lies from dishonest and very influential sources.

How do we know this is so? What is the situation? Who are the liars? Why is this important? Finally, what should we do about it? The future of the world’s working class and the fight for an egalitarian world of what Marxist researcher Charles Andrews has called “No Rich, No Poor,” depends on what we do. 

I began to discuss this question in an earlier article titled “Marxists Behaving Badly” which you can download from my Home Page. However, that was a very partial discussion of this enormous challenge to all of us. In my talk today I intend to confront this crisis more directly.

The University of Tübingen in Germany presents a hideously anti-commmunist exhibition under the name “The Price of Freedom”, which is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 20th anniversary of the so-called “Orange Revolution” in Ukraine and the 10 years since the Euromaidan. 

 

Unsurprisingly, partners in this anti-communist project are the the Federal Foreign Office and the Ukrainian Institute in Berlin.

The truth behind the infamous "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation"

By Nikos Mottas

One would think that following the prevalence of the counterrevolution in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the anti-communist campaign that was unfolded during the Cold War would end. Not only did this not happen but, on the contrary, the attempt to slander socialism-communism continued unabated and, in many cases, it was instrumentalized, mainly in the United States and the European Union through the establishment of institutions and foundations, having as a sole purpose the falsification of history. Within this context, by an unanimous decision of the U.S Congress in 1993, the notorious Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) was established, with a stated mission of “educating Americans about the ideology, history and legacy of communism”(1). 

Trump declares Marxists and Communists key enemies of the United States

“The enemy from within, the fascists, the Marxists, the communists are more dangerous than Russia and China and other people”, – said Donald Trump on 6 October during his rally in Juneau, Wisconsin.

Trump is countering the Democratic Party in the presidential race by accusing Marxists of being guilty of all the troubles in America. When the bourgeois state fails to manage domestic issues it is always convenient to find an enemy and accuse it of all the sins. Moreover, Trump is unable to come up with any constructive strategy to fight Kamala Harris, so he is bringing back the age-old threat of communism as a political tool.

Stalin is their nightmare: European Parliament regrets "growing cult of Stalin and related increase in Soviet nostalgia in Georgia"!

Joseph Stalin, the architect of Soviet Union's triumph over Nazism in the Second World War and the man who transformed the USSR from a backward, mainly agricultural country, into an industrial superpower, continues, 70 years after his death, to frighten capitalists and their political servants throughout the world. 

In a recently revised version of a draft resolution on Georgia, the European Parliament added a passage speaking about the "growing cult of Stalin and related increase in Soviet nostalgia in Georgia". 

"Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation" glorifies Nazi collaborators and fascists

By Nikos Mottas

The notorious "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation", an institute created in 1993 by the U.S governmental agencies in collaboration with the... crème de la crème of international anti-communism, has been exposed once again. 

This time, the Department of Canadian Heritage is being told that more than half of the 550 names on the Memorial to the Victims of Communism should be removed because of potential links to the Nazis or questions about affiliations with fascist groups, according to government records. 

Communist Parties: The attempt to ban the communist ideology in the republics of Central Asia shall not pass!

There is no prohibition of communist ideology in the republics of Central Asia!

 

The Communist and workers' parties condemn attempts to ban Soviet symbols and communist ideology in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, as well as the adoption of the law on the final rehabilitation of "victims of Stalinist repressions of 1918-1953" by the Kyrgyz Parliament, which opens the gates for the mass rehabilitation of criminals, bandit members, terrorists, Basmachi and Nazi collaborators.

Estonia, the country where Nazi collaborators are being honored with the blessings of the EU

Estonia is the small Baltic country  where 275,000 Soviet soldiers and partisans gave their own lives in order to liberate it from the Nazi yoke. Nonetheless, instead of honoring them, the Estonian authorities glorify the collaborators of the Nazis who fought against the Soviet Red Army in the Second World War.

Recently, in the city of Jõhvi, the local authorities unveiled a new memorial dedicated to an Estonian Nazi. His name was Georg Sooden and he was a captain of the 20th Estonian Waffen-SS Division which fought alongside the Nazis against the Soviet Union. Sooden was killed during a battle with the Red Army in the Blue Hills of Tannenberg line in July 1944. 

 

The Five Biggest Anti-Communist Lies

By Nikos Mottas

History, they say, is written by the victors, even the temporary ones. The dominance of counter-revolution and the overthrow of socialism in the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries in the early 1990s was the trigger for the escalation of anti-communism at all levels. 

Through bourgeois historiography and the mainstream media, a series of fallacious theories have been developed, aimed at slandering the 20th century socialism and demonizing Marxist-Leninist ideology.
