Ports of resistance: Dockworkers across the world prepare October 30 strike against imperialist wars

Dockworkers across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas are preparing for a coordinated international strike and mobilizations on October 30, raising a powerful message against imperialist wars, militarization and capitalist exploitation: “Dockworkers do not work for war!”

The second International Day of Action of Dockworkers is expected to involve around 100 ports worldwide, as workers refuse to allow ports and transport infrastructure to become vital links in the machinery of imperialist war. The mobilization follows the February 6 international strike, which brought together dockworkers from 20 ports in seven countries.

 

When protests serve the West, they are "revolutions". When they challenge it, they are "violent riots"

By Nikos Mottas

The Western ruling classes have developed a remarkable ability to distinguish between a “revolution” and a “violent riot". The criteria have little to do with the demands of the demonstrators or the methods of their struggle. 

What matters is whose power is threatened, whose interests are served and whether the existing capitalist order is being challenged or strengthened. After all, democracy has never been independent of class interests.

The rise of the far right in Europe: Capitalism's useful ally and the tasks of communists

By Nikos Mottas

The growing influence of nationalist and far-right forces across Europe is neither accidental nor a development occurring outside the capitalist system. It is closely connected with the needs of capitalist power itself, at a time when imperialist rivalries are intensifying, preparations for war are accelerating and the established bourgeois parties are finding it increasingly difficult to secure popular consent for their policies.

KKE: Greek government and pro-US parties thoroughly exposed after Guilfoyle's dismissal

Commenting on the dismissal of US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle by the Trump administration, amid mounting allegations of corruption and misconduct, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stated:

Rubio in Athens: Imperialist Hubris in the Shadow of the Parthenon

By Nikos Mottas

Marco Rubio’s speech at the historic Pnyx in Athens on October 7 was a textbook exercise in imperialist propaganda. Invoking ancient Greek democracy, philosophy and civilization, the US Secretary of State attempted to give Washington’s pursuit of global supremacy the appearance of a noble historical mission. Behind the grandiose rhetoric, however, stood the familiar doctrine of US imperial power, military superiority and capitalist domination.

KKE slams Rubio's visit: Greece must stop serving as a launchpad for US imperialist wars

During US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Athens, the Greek government agreed to deepen the country’s involvement in US-NATO military plans, expand arms purchases and strengthen energy cooperation serving US and Greek business interests. The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) fiercely condemned these agreements, warning of the growing dangers for the Greek people.

In a statement, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE stresses:

Communist Party USA responds to Trump's tirade at the UN General Assembly

In a 38-minute tirade before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump boasted about abducting foreign leaders, bombing boats in the Caribbean and launching an unjust war against Iran, while branding Cuba a “failed state.” He also singled out the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), the Democratic Socialists of America and “Antifa” as part of an alleged “coordinated subversive network” controlled by Cuba.

Communist Party of Denmark: US-Denmark agreement threatens Greenland's security

As tensions over Greenland intensify and Denmark and the United States move towards a new agreement concerning the strategically important Arctic territory, the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) has warned against the further militarization of the region and the growing rivalry among major powers. The Party rejects the presentation of increased military cooperation as a guarantee of security, arguing that it could instead turn Greenland into a frontline of future conflicts.

On the attitude of the Communist Parties towards inter-imperialist contradictions and imperialist alliances

By Makis Papadopoulos 

As it happens every time in History, the period of preparation for a great imperialist war increases the need for a substantive discussion, dialogue and theoretical, political struggle within the ranks of the communist movement, in order to formulate an effective revolutionary strategy.

Objectively, critical and complex issues are at the center of the discussion, which require investigation and clear answers from each Communist Party. Issues such as:

The other September 11: Chile, Allende and the myth of the “peaceful road” to Socialism

By Nikos Mottas

There is another September 11, one that communists, socialists and progressive people around the world remember for very different reasons from the date that dominates mainstream Western political memory. On 11 September 1973, in Santiago de Chile, a military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet, with the active support of the United States, overthrew the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende.

Mecca Agreement: The new tool of imperialism in the Middle East design

By Ayhan Keser* 

Many news articles and commentaries have been written about the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement (Mecca Agreement), signed on August 7, 2026, between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. 

To prevent the exaggerations and contradictions in these comments from obscuring the significance of the development, they need to be examined more closely.

KKE on AfD surge in Germany: Capitalist exploitation and imperialist rivalries fuel the far-right

Following the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a historic victory with nearly 44% of the vote, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses that the rise of reactionary populism cannot be separated from capitalist exploitation, imperialist rivalries and the weakening of the class-oriented labour and communist movement.

In a comment, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE states:

 

The Rise of Nationalist and Chauvinist Currents and the Tendency of Political Systems Toward Reaction

By Ástor García

The historical development of capitalism in its imperialist phase continuously confirms Lenin’s thesis that, as the domination of monopolies deepens and the contradictions of the capitalist system intensify, the bourgeoisie progressively abandons its own “democratic” forms of rule and turns toward increasingly reactionary, authoritarian, and violent methods. This process corresponds to the objective necessity of maintaining class power in a context of crisis, inter-imperialist competition, and the potential rise of working-class struggle.

Mitsotakis - Netanyahu (Archive)

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has strongly condemned the Greece-Israel agreement on the so-called “Achilles Shield,” warning that it represents yet another dangerous step in accelerating war preparations and dragging Greece and its people deeper into imperialist wars and US-NATO plans in the region.

In a statement, the KKE stressed that the New Democracy government is attempting to conceal the real character of the agreement behind claims about an “architecture for the protection of Greek territory” and the country’s defense. 

 

Venezuela-U.S oil deal exposes the total bankruptcy of social democracy

By Nikos Mottas

There are moments when political developments strip away every disguise and expose the class character of political forces with unusual clarity. The latest oil agreement between Washington and the government of Delcy Rodríguez is one such moment. After years of “Bolivarian,” “anti-imperialist” and even “socialist” rhetoric, Venezuela’s social-democratic leadership is presiding over a further opening of the country’s strategic energy wealth to U.S. monopoly interests. 

Trump and Rubio should be investigated for genocide against socialist Cuba

By Nikos Mottas

For more than six decades, the United States has attempted to disguise its aggressive imperialist policy toward Cuba as a question of “national security,” diplomatic pressure or concern for “democracy”. 

Behind this sanitized vocabulary stands a far more brutal reality: economic strangulation, political coercion, extraterritorial intimidation and the deliberate worsening of the material conditions of life of an entire people because that people refuses to renounce its Revolution.
