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”! 

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.

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:

Anti-communist crackdown in Azerbaijan: Activists arrested for raising USSR flags

Authorities in Azerbaijan have detained several individuals after they attempted to organize a march in Baku carrying the flags of the Soviet Union and the Azerbaijan SSR, in yet another episode highlighting the intensifying anti-communist climate promoted by the country’s ruling establishment.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, police operations led to the detention of Abdulla Ibrahimli, Ibrahim Asadli and other individuals whose names were not disclosed. 

What does Berlin fear? Soviet symbols banned again ahead of 9 May anniversary!

For yet another consecutive year, German authorities in Berlin are imposing restrictions around Soviet war memorials during the anniversary of the Great Anti-Fascist Victory of the Peoples on 9 May, banning Soviet flags and symbols associated with the Red Army that defeated Nazism!

According to an administrative order issued by Berlin police, the restrictions will apply from 8 to 9 May around the Soviet memorials in Treptow, Mitte and Pankow.

Grover Furr: The Fraud of the "Testament of Lenin"

Speech by Professor Grover Furr to the Institute for the Critical Study of the Society (ICSS) of Oakland, California, on his book "The Fraud of the ‘Testament of Lenin" (Erythros Press and Media, 2022). You can watch the video of the discussion here: https://youtu.be/3qkB_EDabMc

I’d like to begin with this short preface. Persons who are, or were, in or around the “Old Left” are usually more or less familiar with the allegations of crimes levelled against Joseph Stalin by anticommunists and Trotskyists. My talk today is directed mainly to you.

 

KKE MEPs denounce provocation by EU Commission

It demands the withdrawal of the persistent questions of historical truth raised by the sacrifice of the 200 communist heroes of Kaisariani 

The Commission is provocatively demanding the withdrawal of the Question submitted by the KKE’s MEPs. Based on the striking photographic evidence of the 200 communists who stood up face to face with the Nazi monster, the Question exposes the unhistorical nature of the EU’s ideology, which equates communism with the monster of fascism, as well as its undermining and deliberate stance towards the still-unfulfilled demand that German war reparations be paid for the Nazi atrocities in Greece.

How the European Parliament promotes anti-Cuban propaganda by applying double standards

A revealing case of “double standards” by the European Parliament has come to light regarding its stance toward socialist Cuba.

On 13 January 2026, the parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) scheduled an exhibition dedicated to the internationalist contribution of Cuban doctors, focusing on the Henry Reeve medical brigades and their role in supporting peoples affected by pandemics and natural disasters. The exhibition was rejected by the Parliament’s authorities.

80 years since Fulton: Churchill’s imperialist manifesto against Socialism

By Nikos Mottas

On 5 March 1946, less than a year after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill stood before an audience at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, and delivered the speech that would soon be known as the “Iron Curtain” speech. 

In Western political mythology, the address is often portrayed as a prophetic warning about Soviet expansion. In reality, it was something quite different: a calculated ideological declaration of hostility toward the socialist world and one of the founding political acts of the Cold War.

The Truth About Noam Chomsky’s Anti-Communism

By Nikos Mottas 

For decades, Noam Chomsky has occupied a peculiar and paradoxical position within global political discourse. He is celebrated as a fearless critic of U.S. imperialism, a dissident voice against war, propaganda, and corporate power. Generations of students encountered radical politics for the first time through his lectures and books. 

Yet at the very heart of his political worldview lies a contradiction so profound that it cannot be explained away as error, nuance, or misunderstanding. It is a contradiction that reveals the real limits of his politics: a systematic, principled hostility to Marxism-Leninism, to socialist state power, and to every historical attempt by the working class to actually seize and hold power.

Anti-Communism in Iran: From the Pahlavi Dynasty to the Islamic Republic

 By Nikos Mottas

In modern Iranian history, anti-communism has never been an accident or a mere ideological reflex. It has been a permanent weapon of bourgeois state power. Across regimes that appeared to stand at opposite ideological poles — the pro-Western, secular monarchy of the Pahlavi dynasty and the theocratic order established after 1979 — the repression of communists and revolutionary leftists formed a stable axis of continuity. The language of power changed; its class function did not.

Kazakhstan's President promises to... "end communism", attacks social rights

In a new anti-communist political statement this week, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kazakhstan, declared a sweeping overhaul of the country’s social benefits system and openly denounced the existence of broad, publicly funded social provisions as tantamount to... “victorious communism” that must end. 

In a televised address, Tokayev claimed that Kazakhstan’s free healthcare, wide range of benefits, and state social spending have provoked envy among neighboring states and led to “massive parasitism” by recipients of state support. 

 

10 reasons why Stalin is at the heart of anti-communist propaganda

By Nikos Mottas 

No political figure of the twentieth century has been attacked with such persistence, intensity, and ideological unanimity as Joseph Stalin. From conservative anticommunism to liberal moralism and large parts of the so-called “democratic”  left and various anti-Stalinist currents (Trotskyists, Eurocommunists, and related tendencies), hostility to Stalin functions as a shared point of convergence. This is not the result of historical curiosity or ethical sensitivity. It is a political necessity.

Stalin is targeted not primarily for what he did, but for what he represents: the most advanced historical challenge ever posed to capitalism and imperialism.

KKE strongly condemns the persecution of Marxist study group members in Russia

The International Relations Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has condemned the decision of the Russian authorities to sentence members of a Marxist study group to prison terms ranging from 16 to 22 years, warning against the criminalization of communist ideology and political struggle.  

 

More specifically, the statement, published in 902 portal, reads:

 

Is studying Lenin prohibited in Russia? Military Court jails members of marxist study group!

Article appeared in "Rizospastis", organ of the CC of the KKE, on Wednesday 17 December 2025:  

The Central Military Court of the Yekaterinburg District in Russia has concluded the trial of five members of a Marxist study group from the city of Ufa. The defendants had been officially designated as “terrorists” and “extremists” even before the trial began and were placed on the registry of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring).

The Kurdish nationalist movement’s anti-communism

By Cansu Oba

 

A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.  

In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.

Statement by the Communist Party of Poland: "Our struggle continues"!

The shameful attempt of the Polish state to outlaw the Communist Party of Poland (Komunistyczna Partia Polski - KPP) has become a central front in the international struggle against anti-communism. 

In recent weeks, the Polish authorities escalated their decade-long persecution by bringing the case before the Constitutional Tribunal in an effort to criminalize the Party’s very existence. 

KKE-KNE protest at Polish Embassy in Athens against renewed persecution of the Communist Party of Poland

A delegation of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE), led by KKE MP Afroditi Ktena, carried out a militant protest today at the Embassy of Poland in Athens, condemning the continuation of the unacceptable anti-communist persecutions against the Communist Party of Poland. The attacks escalate once again on December 3 at the Constitutional Court, following a petition submitted by Poland’s President K. Nawrocki claiming “unconstitutionality of the aims and activity of the Communist Party of Poland.”

 

Russia: Marxists face 20-year sentences for studying Lenin’s “State and Revolution”!

A new peak of anti-communist repression is unfolding in today's Russia. On 25 November 2025, during the closing hearings at the Central Military Court of the Yekaterinburg District, the prosecution demanded 20 to 24 years in a high-security penal colony for the members of a Marxist study circle in the city of Ufa, accusing them of “terrorism” and “conspiracy to overthrow the government.”

The five defendants, detained since February 2022, reject all charges and have reported torture during their interrogation. Their legal ordeal has now lasted nearly two years, with the first court session held in December 2023.
