On 9 March, in an open letter addressing the Prime Minister from the Smer-SD social democrat party, KSS declared that from the very beginning the social events triggered by the murder were a well-thought-out attack of the opposition as a coup attempt against the results of parliamentary elections of 2016. It said ‘We clearly see that many non-governmental organizations as well as media serving the interests of foreign owners actively support this goal.’

Stephen Hawking against capitalism
"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."
- Stephen Hawking (1942-2018),
on Reddit Journal of Science, Oct. 2015.

Statement of the KKE about the incidents in the PAOK vs AEK football match
Regarding yesterday's incidents and interruption of the football game between PAOK and AEK in Thessaloniki, the Press Office of the CC of the KKE issued the following statement:
"Yesterday's images in PAOK's stadium consist the mirror of the decay of football and big businessmen. What if the laws became stricter, what if foreign supervisors of UEFA came, what if the Greek Football Federation changed, what if professional judges were appointed? What remains is the "football" of the big businessmen who, under the tolerance and support of all governments - including the current one- play their own political and economic games on the backs of the teams and (football) fans. That is why the situation not only does not improve, but goes from bad to worse.

Joseph Stalin: 65 years since his death
By Nikos Mottas.
Sixty-five
years have been passed since the 5th March 1953 and the
bourgeois in all over the world still tremble before his name. For
the fascists and neo-Nazis, his image creates nightmares. The various
opportunists, trotskyites and counterrevolutionaries still try to
conjure him with tons of lies and slanders.
More
than six decades since the death of Joseph Stalin, the slanderous
campaign against his legacy continues unabated. The anti-stalinist
slanderers have used every single kind of defamation in order to
tarnish the personality of Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili: From
the ungrounded fairytales of the Nazi sympathizer Solzhenitsyn to the
fabricated, anti-communist stories of the so-called “Ukrainian
famine”, the (committed by the Nazis) Katyn massacre, the supposed
millions of executed prisoners in the notorious Gulags, etc.
