The spectre is still haunting them: German court declares Karl Marx’s teachings "unconstitutional"

"A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism". 177 years since the publication of the Communist Manifesto, the spectre is still haunting the capitalists, the bourgeois governments and their allies.  

Karl Marx and his teachings are still so dangerous for the ruling classes that courts in Europe try to declare them as "unconstitutional". 

A court in Hamburg, Germany, has stated in the details of a ruling concerning a Karl Marx reading group that Marx’s teachings may be contrary to the “free democratic basic order.” 

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 funeral of the so-called “21st century socialism” in Bolivia

By Nikos Mottas 

The results of Sunday's elections in Bolivia were devastating for the leftist “Movement of Socialism” (Movimiento al Socialismo), known by the acronym MAS. Eduardo del Castillo, MAS’s candidate, received only approximately 3 percent of the vote—a historic collapse for a party that had ruled Bolivia for nearly two decades. 

This result highlighted deep-seated economic crisis—20–25 percent inflation, fuel and dollar shortages, public frustration—and internal divisions within MAS (notably between Morales-aligned “Evista” and Arce-aligned “Arcista” factions).

KKE: The imperialist bargaining on Ukraine does not portend anything positive for the peoples

In a statement (here in Greek) regarding the negotiations between the US, EU-NATO, Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out:

"They have become communist": The 1993 Yeltsin-Supreme Soviet standoff and the dirty role of the US

Following the victory of the counterrevolution and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian leadership under Boris Yeltsin proceeded to harsh economic reforms (known as “shock therapy”), thus causing, among others, inflation, unemployment, and severe public discontent. 

Within this context, a growing conflict between Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) over economic policy and division of powers began to unravel. The Supreme Soviet resisted capitalist reforms and pushed back against the increasing presidential authority.

The attempt to vilify Lenin in capitalist Russia: On the occasion of the reactionary film "The Mummy"

A new “documentary”, "The Mummy," which premiered in Moscow on June 26, has ignited a firestorm of debate surrounding the legacy of Vladimir Lenin and his final resting place.  
 
Produced by the fervently religious Christian channel “Spas” (Saviour), the film argues for the destruction of Lenin's Mausoleum, portraying it as a satanic temple and a bleeding wound on the soul of the Russian nation. The “documentary” presents a fantastical narrative, linking the Bolsheviks and their leader to a range of dark forces, including Egyptian pharaohs, Babylonian ziggurats, and Masonic conspiracies aimed at global domination by Satan.
