Earlier this month, on March 8, the discovery of a suspected training and extermination camp for a drug cartel has sparked outrage across Mexico.
More specifically, activists unearthed a mass grave in a ranch called Izaguirre farm, in the Teuchitlan region of the state of Jalisco, which is estimated to contain personal belongings, as well as cremated remains of at least 200 persons.
Little more than thirty years have passed since the counterrevolutionary overthrow of workers’ power in the USSR. This historic tragedy confirmed the warning of J.V. Stalin: that it would result in “the blackest and most savage reaction in all capitalist countries”, a condition which we face today with the looming threat of nuclear confrontation and a generalized conflict between the two major imperialist blocs. The world communist movement facing the counterrevolution 1989-1991 was thus confronted with the ideological and political dominance of the counterrevolution—a crisis which continues to this day. To make matters worse, the Communist Party of Mexico had been dissolved a decade prior in 1981.

During its National Political Conference, which took place over the weekend, PCM decided to present its candidates so that Mexican voters “have an option for radical change, to put an end to injustice and bring the workers to power. That is the option that the Communist Party of Mexico represents,” reads a statement published on social networks.
“The entire history of bourgeois democracy lays bare this illusion: to deceive the people, the bourgeois democrats have launched and always launch all the “slogans” they want. The problem is to verify their sincerity, to compare words with facts , not to be content with idealistic or vain phrases, but to see class reality . Imperialist war does not cease to be imperialist when charlatans or petty bourgeois philistines launch a sweet "slogan", but only when the class that directs the imperialist war and is linked to it with millions of threads (even ropes) of an economic nature, It is actually overthrown and replaced in power by the truly revolutionary class, the proletariat. Otherwise, it is impossible to get rid of an imperialist war, as well as an imperialist, predatory peace . ”
More specifically, PCM stresses out:
"On March 3, the third meeting of the "World Anti-Imperialist Platform" begins, which amalgamates confused forces unknown until recently, together with strange to the communist movement political groups. Some exist only in the computers and minds of their spokespersons, such as the non-existent "Collective of Struggle for the Revolutionary Unification of Humanity" or the "Platform for Independence" of Greece.

In an editorial published in the Party's official organ "El Machete", the 7th Congress of the PCM "will deepen its policy of criticism and confrontation against the current government of López Obrador and any expression of social democracy, and will seek to strengthen itself in order to have the capacity to promote a revolutionary transformation in Mexico that is urgent and necessary".
The statement reads:
At the beginning of the year, there was a sharp increase in the cost of living, which reached about 7%. In this situation, the 2022 wage increase did not have a significant effect, and there are still workers who have not yet received the wage change. This implied a higher cost for the workers, who were also affected by the loss of benefits and working conditions during the pandemic.
This has forced workers to cut back on consumption of some goods and services, or to work even longer hours to maintain their real incomes. Halfway through the year, inflation is considered by specialists to be uncontrollable, as it is currently around 7.5 per cent, but is expected to reach 10 per cent by the end of the year. In concrete terms, the basic food basket has shot up to 27% and this is taking its toll on the pockets of working families.
The theme of the meeting, which will take place at the KKE Party headquarters in Perissos, is "We strengthen the workers-people's struggle against the imperialist war and capital's attack, for socialism". According to Rizospastis, all the four parties will be represented by their heads. More specifically, the participant comrades are:

Being the bicentenary of Friedrich Engels’ birthday, the Communist Party of Mexico (PCM) and the Communist Party of the Workers of Spain (PCTE) consider that it is necessary to contribute to the diffusion of the work that he devoted most of his life to along with Karl Marx.
