Joint Statement on the 108^th Anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution

The Communist and Workers’ Parties signing this Joint Statement wish, among other means, to honour the October Revolution, which illuminated the strength of the revolutionary class struggle — the power of the exploited and oppressed — when they surge to the forefront and turn the wheel of history forward, towards social emancipation. It was a Revolution inseparably linked with the great revolutionary and theorist of scientific socialism, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

The era of capitalism's overthrow began with October 1917: Major internationalist event organized by the KKE

50 years since the death of Spain's fascist tyrant Franco

The 20th November 2025 marked half a century since the death of Spain's fascist dictator Francisco Franco. 

 

Fifty years since the end of a regime built on blood, terror and class domination. Fifty years since the man responsible for crushing the Spanish Republic was lowered into the ground, yet his legacy, and the system he served, refuse to die on their own. History teaches us that fascism does not dissolve with the death of a dictator. It must be defeated, again and again, by the living struggle of the working class.

KKE blasts Greek government's gas deals with Euro-Atlantic puppet Zelensky

In a statement (here in Greek) concerning the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Greece and his meeting with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday 16 November, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out:

PRESS OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREECE

In a statement on the threats of US imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE reports the following:

“The statements by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who announced the launch of a military operation in the Caribbean called Southern Spear, as well as the arrival of the largest US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, in the region, constitute a sharp escalation of imperialist aggression against Venezuela and other peoples in the region. The fight against drug trafficking is yet another flimsy pretext.

The provocations and anti-KKE slanders will fail once again

Article Published in Rizospastis, the organ of the Central Committee of the KKE, on 6 November 2025

The so-called World Anti-Imperialist Platform (WAP) —the apologists for the Russian and Chinese bourgeoisie in their imperialist competition with the US and the Euro-Atlantic camp— are once again exposed.

 

At a time when they indulge into fantasies about “anti-imperialist axes” and “anti-fascist fronts”, they remain silent about the fascist meeting of the “Paladins” held a few weeks ago in St. Petersburg. Under the official auspices of the Russian state and the ruling United Russia party, fascist scum from all over the world assembled there, including members of the Nazi Golden Dawn party (https://www.rizospastis.gr/story.do?id=13056429&textCriteriaClause=%2B%CE%A0%CE%91%CE%9B%CE%91%CE%9D%CE%A4%CE%99%CE%9D).

   

President Trump, your unhistorical anti-communist crusade will fail — Socialism will triumph!

By Nikos Mottas 

On 7 November 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump proclaimed the week of 2–8 November as “Anti-Communism Week”, inviting the American people to “honor the victims of communism” and to remember the “devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies.”

But this proclamation is not a moral gesture — it is an ideological weapon. It revives the same Cold War rhetoric that once justified imperialist wars, fascist coups, and the persecution of workers, intellectuals, and freedom-fighters across the world. Behind Trump’s pompous words stands the oldest lie of the capitalist order: that communism, not capitalism, is the source of human suffering.

Communist Workers Platform USA: Statement on Zohran Mamdani's NYC Mayoral Victory

CWPUSA Central Committee Statement on Zohran Mamdani's NYC Mayoral Victory

On Tuesday, 4 November 2025, a cargo plane at UPS Worldport crashed into the facility during takeoff. 9 people have been confirmed killed while many remain missing. 

The death toll will likely continue to rise, adding to the pile of workers killed by the cold calculus of capitalism where safety always takes a backseat to profit. That same evening, Zohran Mamdani claimed victory in the New York City Mayoral election. 

Communist Party of Sweden: 30 years of revolutionary continuity

Thirty years ago, on 4–5 November 1995, Sweden’s communists took a decisive step that reaffirmed the revolutionary continuity of the workers’ movement in the country.

Aleka Papariga, the KKE and the defense of Marxism-Leninism

By Nikos Mottas

Aleka Papariga, the former long-time leader (1991-2013) of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), celebrates her 80th birthday as a militant whose personal biography has become inseparable from the continuity of a KKE that has refused every form of retreat, compromise, and incorporation into the system of exploitation. Her political life reflects not only the history of the KKE but also its strategic persistence amid some of the most difficult decades for communists worldwide. 

Why Has TKP Become the “Object of Hatred” of the Turkish Left?

By Cansu Oba

For readers who are not deeply familiar with the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) or Turkish politics, the title may sound exaggerated. Yet, within a realistic framework, it accurately reflects the dynamics we aim to explore here. Around the world, traditional communist parties have often faced political and ideological hostility from within the left itself. Understanding how this phenomenon has unfolded in Turkey requires looking closely at the origins and historical assertion of TKP.

EU backs Czech Republic’s anti-communist crackdown — KKE exposes hypocrisy

A new escalation of the anti-communist offensive in the European Union is underway, this time with the Czech government preparing an operation to further criminalize the dissemination, support and defense of communist ideology — and the EU proving yet again its hypocrisy and tolerance for such reactionary measures. 

The alarming developments were raised in the European Parliament by Kostas Papadakis, MEP of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), who exposed the Czech authorities’ plan to equate communist ideas with so-called “totalitarianism” and to apply harsh criminal sanctions.

Venezuela Case: Oil, Capital, and Class Struggle

By Nathan Richardson* 

 

Examining how control over oil resources fuels imperialist ambitions and what a socialist perspective offers as an alternative 

Venezuela stands once again at the crossroads of imperialist aggression and national resistance. Its oil-rich soil − potentially a foundation of social progress and independence − remains the object of fierce contest between foreign capital, domestic oligarchs, and bureaucratic interests.
