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.

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.

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. 

The Role of China in the Imperialist War in Iran

By Nikos Mottas

What is unfolding around Iran is not an isolated war, nor simply another episode of instability in the Middle East. It is part of the ongoing US–Israeli imperialist aggression in the region, which itself unfolds within a broader confrontation between rival imperialist centers. 

Within this confrontation, China is not a distant observer or a neutral force. It is a rising capitalist power, deeply involved in the struggle for energy, routes and influence. And increasingly, it is a major strategic rival of the United States.

KKE: On the attempt to whitewash Spanish social democracy in order to mislead the people

The path to peace or the deception of the people?

Comment by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE on the attempt to whitewash Spanish social democracy in order to mislead the people:

Once again, both internationally and in our country, social democratic forces —such as PASOK, SYRIZA, the New Left, as well as other opportunist forces in Greece— are rushing, with no small degree of exaggeration, to celebrate, publishing headlines such as “Do it like Sánchez” and claiming that Spain “is choosing the path of peace”.

The Limits of Third Worldism: A Leninist Critique of False Anti-Imperialism

By Nikos Mottas 

In conditions of intensified imperialist competition—characterized by wars, realignments, and shifts in the global balance of power—the need for theoretical clarity becomes more decisive than ever. 

However, it is precisely under such conditions that ideological confusion often appears in the form of radicalism. One of the most characteristic expressions of this confusion today is what is commonly referred to as “Third Worldism”, a current that claims to defend anti-imperialism while deviating from the fundamental principles of Marxism–Leninism.

KKE: 65 years since the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs

On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the heroic victory of the Cuban Revolution at the Bay of Pigs, the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out: 

"In April 1961, the armed people of Cuba, under the leadership of Fidel Castro, crushed the attempted landing of US mercenary forces, inflicting a humiliating defeat on  North American imperialism.

The revolutionaries, led by the communists, delivered a decisive response to imperialist plans, halting the United States’ counter-revolutionary schemes, shattering the myth of the omnipotence of the imperialist superpower, and inspiring hope among the peoples of the world.

Bogus Anti-imperialism and the Fight for Peace

By Greg Godels 

Where V.I. Lenin in 1916 wove together a theory of imperialism that placed capitalist exploitation and accumulation at its core, explaining competition between greater and lesser powers and their coalitions and alliances as leading to war, a prominent Marxist, Karl Kautsky, asserted that war or the threat of war would persuade states to coexist, to put aside rivalries and create– in Kautsky’s words– “…a federation of the strongest, who renounce their arms race.”

Why socialist Cuba is more democratic than the U.S

By Nikos Mottas 

The renewed escalation of hostility by the Trump administration towards Cuba—through tightened sanctions, political pressure, and open ideological aggression—once again exposes a fundamental contradiction. 

A country that presents itself as the "global model of democracy" continues to treat a small socialist island as a persistent threat. This is not a coincidence. It points to something deeper: what is being contested is not “democracy” in the abstract, but two fundamentally different ways of organizing power in society.

A World Anti-Imperialist Whitewashing of US imperialism

Commentary by the International Relations Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece, published in the newspaper "RIZOSPASTIS"— Organ of the CC of the KKE: 

At a time when the US and Israel have set in motion the “reshaping” of the Middle East, resorting to violent (military) means and causing the deaths of thousands of civilians in Iran, Lebanon, and other countries in the region;

What If Cuba Had Nuclear Weapons? The Limits of “Peaceful Coexistence”

By Nikos Mottas

Today, more than six decades after the Cuban Revolution, the United States continues to enforce one of the most prolonged and comprehensive systems of economic warfare in modern history. The blockade—tightened, codified, and expanded over decades—seeks not merely to pressure, but to suffocate. 

Sanctions on fuel, financial strangulation, extraterritorial enforcement, and constant efforts to disrupt Cuba’s access to energy and trade are not isolated measures; they form a coherent strategy aimed at exhausting a society that refuses to abandon its chosen path.  

European Communist Action: The anti-imperialist struggle of the peoples must be strengthened

Statement of the European Communist Action on the imperialist war in the Middle East

Resolution of the (Expanded) Meeting of the CC of the Tudeh Party of Iran

The Secretarial of the Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran, The Plenum of the Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran (TPI) was convened earlier in March 2026, attended by members of the Central Committee, party cadres, and officers. The session commenced with a minute of silence to honour the memory of all victims of the brutal bombardments by U.S. imperialism and the criminal Netanyahu government, as well as those who lost their lives during the January popular protests and the martyrs of the Tudeh movement.

 

KKE's Koutsoumbas warns of “extremely dangerous escalation” as Greece is drawn deeper into Iran war

Amid the intensification of the US–Israel war against Iran and growing pressure on allied states to contribute to military operations—particularly in the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz—the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), Dimitris Koutsoumbas, has issued a stark warning about the risks of a wider regional conflagration and Greece’s deepening involvement in it.

 

Political Bureau of the CC of the KKE: No sacrifices for the imperialists’ wars – Greece out of the war

No sacrifices for the imperialists’ wars – Greece out of the war

1. The KKE calls on the working class, the people and the youth to remain vigilant and to take militant action. Let the alarm be sounded everywhere. Let opposition to the imperialist war and to our country’s dangerous involvement in it be expressed and strengthened. Our country must not become a target for reprisals. The people and their children must not be made to bear the consequences of war.

Tudeh Party of Iran on the death of Ali Khamenei and the right of the Iranian people to decide their future

In a new statement, the Tudeh Party of Iran stresses out: 

"Dear compatriots,

Following the aggressive attacks by Netanyahu’s criminal regime and U.S. imperialism on Iranian soil, Ali Khamenei—the regime’s Supreme Leader and a dictator who over the past thirty-seven years, through destructive policies and the reactionary ideology of “political Islam,” drove the country to the brink of war and destruction—along with a number of his family members and close associates, as well as some commanders of the Revolutionary Guard and repressors of the people, have been killed.

Four Years Under Death’s Ravenous Gaze

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine did not come as a surprise to the KKE. It marked the ignition of a confrontation that had long been in the making — methodically prepared in the pressure cooker of clashing powerful interests — and it is a direct consequence of the capitalist restoration that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It is worth recalling that at the time, the entire spectrum of Greece’s political establishment, from the far right to the so-called “renewed Left” — except the KKE — was proclaiming that “the avenues of peace and prosperity” were opening up for the peoples.
