European Communist Action: Statement on the 90th founding anniversary of the International Brigades

The European Communist Action commemorates the 90th anniversary of the founding of the International Brigades and the heroic sacrifice of thousands of working men and women who left behind their own countries, their jobs, their families and their homes to fight fascism in Spain, whilst many of the Communist Parties to which they belonged were operating in clandestinity. 

Their courage remains a point of reference for the struggle of the working class to this day, and their experience also offers valuable political lessons that we must not forget.

By Chris Townsend 

Few in the United States would know the true history of relations between our country and the Caribbean nation of Cuba. The United States seized Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898.

The KKE spoiled the atmosphere of “national unity” surrounding Rubio’s visit in Greece

Comment by the International Relations Section of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE):

Two “schools of thought” dominate the analyses of the bourgeois parties in the wake of Rubio’s visit.

Elon Musk and the Myth of the “Genius” Capitalist

Published in Rizospastis, Organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), on 8 October 2026, under the title "Elon Musk and the Bourgeois Myth of the “Genius” Capitalist". Real below the English translation: 

To question the description of Elon Musk as a “genius,” along with similar descriptions bestowed on numerous other capitalists throughout history, is not to make a clinical assessment of his intelligence. It is to reject the bourgeois ideological myth according to which technological progress is the creation of individual “genius” capitalists operating within a supposedly passive society, rather than the product of collective labor and accumulated social knowledge.

Rubio in Athens: Imperialist Hubris in the Shadow of the Parthenon

By Nikos Mottas

Marco Rubio’s speech at the historic Pnyx in Athens on October 7 was a textbook exercise in imperialist propaganda. Invoking ancient Greek democracy, philosophy and civilization, the US Secretary of State attempted to give Washington’s pursuit of global supremacy the appearance of a noble historical mission. Behind the grandiose rhetoric, however, stood the familiar doctrine of US imperial power, military superiority and capitalist domination.
