The 2024 U.S. election has shocked many around the world with Donald Trump’s landslide victory. But his return should not be considered as an American phenomenon. In recent years the right-wing populist parties around the world have successfully garnered support from the political left working class by advocating for robust welfare states, albeit through a lens that is often chauvinist, nativist, and ethnonationalist.

Communist Parties react to the developments in Syria and the fall of al-Assad Government
Communist Party of Greece (KKE)
The intervention in Syria and the domination of the jihadists is another link in the chain of the dangerous developments for the peoples that the imperialist powers of the USA, the EU, NATO, Turkey and Israel are carrying out in the wider Middle East region. It is a continuation of the ongoing massacre of the Palestinian people, the attacks on the Lebanese people and the targeting of Iran.

An Appeal from the Communist Party of Cuba
"To the political parties, social and popular movements, progressive and leftist forces and the world movement of solidarity with Cuba,
To friends of Cuba in the world in general,
Since the previous administration of President Donald Trump, the economic, commercial and financial blockade measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba since 1962 have been intensified without precedent. With the application of more than 240 measures, from Chapter III of the Helms Burton Act and its growing extraterritoriality, to which was added the fierce campaign of disinformation and promotion of internal destabilization, they intend to reverse our revolutionary process.

Koutsoumbas: On the escalation of the imperialist war between NATO and Russia — The Greek government should stop supporting the Zelensky regime
“Following the use of American and British weapons against Russia by the Zelensky regime and the modification of Russia’s nuclear doctrine by Putin and their related statements, it is now obvious that there is a major escalation of the imperialist war. The risk of an immediate generalization is more than visible.

Thirty years since the reorganization of the Communist Party of Mexico (PCM)
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.

The War in Ukraine and the Role of Turkey
The beginning of the war in Ukraine should perhaps be taken as 2014, but in this article [1] we will focus on the period starting with the Russian intervention into Ukrainian territory in February 2022. The war in Ukraine did not take place between two nation states, Ukraine was put forward as a proxy of NATO, in other words of imperialist Euro-Atlantic bloc, so the war took place between NATO and Russia. But more generally, Ukraine was a front in the war of imperialist division, which is a product of the imperialist rivalry that has now taken over the world, a war that has not yet become total.
