The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), through its member Neirlay Andrade, condemned on Monday 12 August both the recent interventionist threats by the United States government against Venezuela, as well as the intensification of repression against the popular movement and the revolutionary left in the country.

 

Which way out of Trump hell? Liberal, Dem-Soc, or Communist?

By Charles Andrews*

The working class knows who Donald Trump is.

Masked ICE goons rip people out of their workplace, school, and home. Police club demonstrators who shout against genocide in Gaza. High schools and colleges fire teachers who let students discuss the history of Zionism. Eight hundred employees of the weather service, NOAA, are fired; when disaster strikes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) cannot dispatch enough staff to the flooded or burning land. 

The KKE denounces the escalation of US imperialist aggression against Venezuela

In a statement, the International Relations Section of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) condemns the recent escalation of the US imperialist aggression against Venezuela:

Communist Party of Mexico expresses solidarity with the protesting workers and migrants in Los Angeles

In a statement, the Communist Party of Mexico (PCM) expresses its solidarity with the protesting migrant workers in the United States and particularly in Los Angeles. 

"The Communist Party of Mexico expresses its solidarity with the multinational working class of the United States, which faces the anti-immigrant policies promoted by the North American state, both by the Republican and Democratic parties, as demonstrated by the mass deportations under the governments of Bush, Obama, and Biden, and which are now intensifying in Trump's second term.

Source: The Associated Press

In a statement on the current violent clashes in Los Angeles, the Communist Workers’ Platform USA (CWPUSA) stresses out:

Driven by deep convictions on the safety of their fellow working class members, hundreds of protestors made the courageous decision to directly confront ICE agents. ICE has been a weapon of terror wielded by the ruling class against the workers of this country. Brutalizing migrant workers and breaking up families, Democratic and Republican governments alike have set these dogs on migrant workers. The anger of large sectors of the population with the policies of different managers of capital is growing. 

Trade wars and tariffs are the normality of capitalism

Article originally published in Rizospastis, Organ of the CC of the KKE, on Thursday 10/4/2025. Translated by Nikos Mottas.

The fairy tales about a "peaceful" redistribution of the world, which flared up with Trump's election, the bargaining over Ukraine, and the ceasefire in the Middle East, have collapsed with a blast. Those who try to whitewash the imperialists with such lies and hide their irreconcilable rivalries under the carpet are shamelessly provoking the people.

KKE on Trump-Putin call: Imperialist peace and arrangements are the other side of imperialist war

In a statement issued on Wednesday 19 March, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) refers to the recent call between U.S President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning the situation in Ukraine. The statement (here in Greek) reads:

“The drumbeats about a ceasefire in the 3-year imperialist war in Ukraine, between the US, NATO, EU and capitalist Russia, cannot overshadow the real facts and the painful reality of the continuation of the war that tortures the peoples of Ukraine and Russia, as well as the dangers for other peoples.

Government of the Capitalists, by Elon Musk, for some Capitalists

U.S. capitalism is in economic decay. The disintegration of the capitalist republic follows. This article explains the class nature of U.S. "democracy" and its decay, which has accelerated under president Trump. We republish it here because other capitalist parliamentary regimes share the same class nature, and they, too, are in palpable decay. —  IDC.

Abraham Lincoln gave fame to the phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Donald Trump had not been president again for two weeks when the U.S. took big steps to a government of the capitalist class, by Elon Musk, for some capitalists. This regime has already increased the suffering of the people, but it also moves us closer to revolutionary overthrow of capitalism.

South African communists blast Trump's imperialist agenda: "We will not bow to imperialist threats"

In a statement issued on 6 February 2025, the South African Communist Party (SACP) condemns U.S President Donald Trump's threats against South Africa and defends the country's national sovereignty.

The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) and the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) rejected, Wednesday, Feb 5, calls for displacement of the Palestinian people and annexation of Gaza by the US or Israel.

In a communique they warned of their dangers and disastrous repercussions on the conflict arena, the countries of the region and the world, and which affirmed their adherence to the just and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost of which is the embodiment of the Palestinian state on the ground with East Jerusalem as its capital, in implementation of the principle of the two-state solution.

Communist Party of Canada: Canadian sovereignty and independence is seriously threatened by Trump

In a statement, the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Canada (Parti Communiste du Canada) stresses out:

The Ipsos poll taken immediately following Trudeau’s announcement that he would be stepping down as Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader showed that public support for the Liberal Party remained unchanged at 20% with or without Trudeau at the helm.

Trump Uses Religion to Defeat Those Who Oppose Him

By Nathan Richardson*

In recent years, the political landscape in the U.S. has seen a marked shift toward religious extremism, particularly among right-wing factions. This shift is exemplified by Trump's rhetoric and policies that cater to evangelical Christians and other conservative religious groups. The embrace of religious nationalism is not merely a cultural phenomenon; it represents a calculated strategy by the Republican Party to consolidate power by appealing to a base that feels increasingly marginalized in a rapidly changing society. 

Hadash rejects Trump-Netanyahu plans on forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza

US President Donald Trump doubles down on his desire for forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt. 

 

Trump tells reporters Monday, Jan 27 aboard Air Force One, “When you look at the Gaza Strip, it’s been hell for so many years… There have been various civilizations on that strip. It didn’t start here. It started thousands of years before, and there’s always been violence associated with it. You could get people living in areas that are a lot safer and maybe a lot better and maybe a lot more comfortable”.

 

The KKE condemns the reinstatement of Cuba on the list of “states sponsors of terrorism”

In a statement, the International Relations Section of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) condemns the reinstatement of Cuba  on the list of “states sponsors of terrorism” by the Trump administration:

"The second Trump administration in the USA, in a shameful action on its very first day in office, has reinstated Cuba on the list of “state sponsors of terrorism”. Equally responsible is the Biden administration which, after keeping Cuba on the list for four years, after maintaining and reinforcing all the measures of the barbaric imperialist blockade, decided hypocritically at the tail end of its term to remove Cuba from the list.

 

KKE comment on Trump's inauguration

In a comment (here in Greek) regarding Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th U.S President, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) points out the following:

“The confrontation within the U.S ruling class and circles, which led to the new Trump presidency, has to do mainly with the terms, conditions and alliances through which the US will maintain its primacy in the global imperialist system against its competitors, especially China.

From Hitler to Trump, two art pieces say the truth about capitalists and the state

Here are two editorial art pieces about capitalists and the state. John Heartfield put together a montage in 1932 dramatizing that big capitalists like Fritz Thyssen, owner of United Steelworks, financed the Nazi party. Heartfield was a prolific artist, a lifelong communist, and an early member of the German Communist Party.

Ann Telnaes drew the other cartoon a week ago. Five media billionaires (Post owner Jeff Bezos, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg, Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, artificial intelligence wheeler-dealer Sam Altman, and the Disney Corporation) offer bags of money to Donald Trump. Telnaes had been a Post editorial-page cartoonist since 2008, but when her editor refused to publish this cartoon, she resigned.

Communist Party of Denmark: Hands Off Greenland!

Greenland's dependence on Denmark is the result of colonial subjugation – not a voluntary choice. If Greenland wants to break this dependence, the choice is the Greenlanders'; but Denmark cannot run away from its obligations. 

The Arctic, and thus also Greenland, has enormous geostrategic importance, among other things due to its location close to Russia and China. With the melting of the ice in the Arctic, the coveted northern corridor is moving closer to reality. Trade routes are about to change, and thus interest in Greenland and its resources increases. It is increasing as the monopolies' competition for markets globally is intensifying day by day. 

KKE's General Secretary D. Koutsoumbas on the result of the US elections and its impact on Greece

On 6 November, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the CC of the KKE, spoke at a mass meeting on the island of Rhodes, on the theme “Rhodes: An upgraded tourist product at the crossroads of NATO plans. The consequences for the lives and rights of the people”.

The GS of the CC of the KKE, among other things, referred in detail to the two imperialist wars in the Middle East and Ukraine and denounced the involvement of the New Democracy government alongside the USA, NATO and the EU.

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.

Arch-capitalists Donald Trump and Elon Musk openly threaten workers who go on strike

Two of the world's most prominent capitalists, former U.S President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, can't hide their deep enmity against the working class. On the contrary, they express it publicly and even share a laugh about it. Shamelessly and Cynically.

Here is an excerpt of their discussion during Trump's interview to X (Twitter) on Monday:

“I look at what you do, you walk in and you just say, ‘You want to quit?’ They go on strike – I won’t mention the name of the company – but they go on strike, and you say, ‘That’s okay, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. Every one of you is gone,” Trump said. Musk could be heard laughing and replying “yeah”.
