Where Is the So-Called “Success” of Capitalism?

By Nikos Mottas

There was a time when capitalism could plausibly present itself as progress.

In the era of the great bourgeois revolutions—of the French Revolution and the American Revolution—and throughout the upheavals of 1848, the rising bourgeoisie shattered feudal bonds, dissolved hereditary privilege, and dismantled archaic hierarchies that had long obstructed productive development. Against feudal particularism and static social relations, capitalism was historically revolutionary. It unified national markets, accelerated scientific discovery, expanded industry, and proclaimed equality before the law—however limited and formal that equality ultimately proved to be.

The Relentless Expansion of the U.S. Military Budget as a Pillar of Imperialist Aggression

By Nathan Richardson* 

There are moments in the history of capitalist decay when the contradictions of imperialism reveal themselves in stark, unavoidable clarity. Today, as the U.S. military budget surges toward the trillion-dollar threshold in fiscal year 2026, we witness precisely such a revelation: a parasitic apparatus that devours the surplus value produced by the working class, redirecting it toward endless wars of plunder and domination while the masses at home endure poverty, homelessness, and crumbling social infrastructure.

Commenting on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) stresses out:

A 15-point statement by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) on the most important problems facing working people in Turkey — and the path forward: parting ways with the Turkish bourgeois class:

Seventy years since the 20th CPSU Congress: When revisionism became doctrine

 By Nikos Mottas 

Seventy years after the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (14-25 February 1956), the time for euphemisms has long passed. What occurred in February 1956 was not a minor rectification within the socialist project, nor a supposedly neutral “de-Stalinization” necessary for renewal. It was a decisive political reorientation that reshaped the trajectory of the international communist movement and altered the balance within the socialist camp. The Congress did not overthrow socialism, but it changed the theoretical and strategic line of the Soviet state in ways that strengthened revisionism, legitimized opportunism, and weakened the dictatorship of the proletariat from within.

India on strike: 300 million workers mobilize against Modi’s policies

On Thursday, February 12, an estimated 300 million workers, peasants, students, and professionals from diverse sectors mobilized across India, staging one of the largest coordinated actions in recent years. The nationwide upsurge was organized to defend labor and social rights and to protest the policies of the country’s far-right government.

The strike call was issued by the Central Trade Unions (CTUs), a joint platform bringing together India’s major labor federations, including the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), the All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU), and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), among others.

Dangerous Complacency at a Time When “Settlements” Are Being Advanced at the Expense of the Peoples

 

Cuba Sends Doctors. The USA Sends Bombs

By Nikos Mottas 

There are moments when history reduces itself to a single, unavoidable contrast. Today is one of them. As renewed threats and economic aggression once again emanate from Washington under Donald Trump, an old truth regains its sharpness: 

Cuba sends doctors. The United States sends bombs.

This is not a slogan invented for effect. It is a reflection of two opposing social systems, two different priorities, two irreconcilable visions of what a society should produce—and for whom.

More than 100 Communist and Workers' Parties say: Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!

In a joint statement published in SolidNet, more than 100 Communist and Workers' Parties and Organizations demand an immediate end to the imperialist aggression of the U.S government against Cuba. More specifically, the statement, which is open for further signatures, points out:

KKE calls on Mitsotakis government to reject Trump’s “Peace Council” invitation

In a statement (here in Greek) regarding the invitation extended by Trump to the Greek government to participate in the so-called “Board of Peace” the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE stresses the following:

“The Greek government must, without hesitation, reject Trump’s invitation to the upcoming meeting of the so-called “Board of Peace”, whose aim is to implement the plan to turn Gaza into a US–Israeli protectorate and an “El Dorado”  for investments, in which there will be no place for the homeland of the long-suffering Palestinian people.

Report of the CC of the KKE to the 22nd Congress: On the International Communist Movement

The International Communist Movement is facing a chronic and profound ideological, political, and organizational crisis. A significant number of Communist Parties that resisted ideological mutation and remained steadfast during the counter-revolution and faithful to Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism, have been unable to draw conclusions regarding the programmatic causes of the counter-revolutionary overthrows, to study both their history and the history of the communist movement, or to formulate their strategy accordingly — a strategy that reflects the contemporary needs of the class struggle, the struggle for socialist revolution, the overthrow of capitalism, and the construction of socialism–communism.  

There Is One Marxism: Against “Western”, “Eastern” and “Third-World” Marxism

On False “Anti-Imperialism,” Campism, and the Abandonment of Class Analysis 

By Nikos Mottas

The recurrent attempt to divide Marxism into “Western,” “Eastern,” “Third-World,” or other geographically marked variants reflects a deeper theoretical retreat from Marxism as a scientific worldview and a revolutionary method. Such distinctions implicitly transform Marxism from a universal theory of capitalist society and class struggle into a set of culturally conditioned perspectives, shaped primarily by geography rather than by objective social relations. From a Marxist-Leninist standpoint, this approach is fundamentally mistaken. Marxism is one, not because it ignores historical and national specificity, but because it rests on objective laws of social development that operate globally wherever capitalism exists.

Communist Parties from across the world condemn U.S aggression and threats against Cuba

Communist and Worker's Parties from all over the world strongly condemn and denounce the shameful threats of the Trump administration towards Cuba as well as the tightening of the U.S. inhumane and genocidal blockade against the Island of the Revolution. Cuba Is Not Alone! Cuba No Está Sola!

On 6 February 2026, a life-size statue of Karl Marx was unveiled in Chennai, at the Connemara Public Library–State Museum complex, by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin. The inauguration, organised by the state government, was accompanied by an exhibition on Marx’s life and ideas, underlining the explicitly ideological character of the event. 

The erection of Marx’s statue in a major Indian metropolis is more than a ceremonial gesture.
