KKE calls for popular mobilization to disengage Greece from the US–Israeli war in the Middle East

The Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) issued the following statement (here in Greek) regarding developments in the Middle East war and the deployment of military forces to Cyprus:

“The latest dramatic developments in Cyprus, as well as in other countries of the region, in themselves demand that Greece disengage here and now from the flames of war ignited by the United States and Israel with their military attack on Iran.

 

Communist Initiative of Cyprus: The island is becoming a target for retaliation - Shut down the British bases

Statement (here in Greek) by the Communist Initiative of Cyprus on the ongoing developments in the Middle East: 

Cyprus is dangerously being turned into a target for retaliation through the British bases. The drone attack on the NATO base in Akrotiri, combined with the official authorization granted by Britain to the United States shortly beforehand for the use of the British bases in operations against Iran, dramatically confirm the dangers created by deeper involvement.

Tudeh Party of Iran on the death of Ali Khamenei and the right of the Iranian people to decide their future

In a new statement, the Tudeh Party of Iran stresses out: 

"Dear compatriots,

Following the aggressive attacks by Netanyahu’s criminal regime and U.S. imperialism on Iranian soil, Ali Khamenei—the regime’s Supreme Leader and a dictator who over the past thirty-seven years, through destructive policies and the reactionary ideology of “political Islam,” drove the country to the brink of war and destruction—along with a number of his family members and close associates, as well as some commanders of the Revolutionary Guard and repressors of the people, have been killed.

Four Years Under Death’s Ravenous Gaze

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine did not come as a surprise to the KKE. It marked the ignition of a confrontation that had long been in the making — methodically prepared in the pressure cooker of clashing powerful interests — and it is a direct consequence of the capitalist restoration that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It is worth recalling that at the time, the entire spectrum of Greece’s political establishment, from the far right to the so-called “renewed Left” — except the KKE — was proclaiming that “the avenues of peace and prosperity” were opening up for the peoples.

The Truth About Noam Chomsky’s Anti-Communism

By Nikos Mottas 

For decades, Noam Chomsky has occupied a peculiar and paradoxical position within global political discourse. He is celebrated as a fearless critic of U.S. imperialism, a dissident voice against war, propaganda, and corporate power. Generations of students encountered radical politics for the first time through his lectures and books. 

Yet at the very heart of his political worldview lies a contradiction so profound that it cannot be explained away as error, nuance, or misunderstanding. It is a contradiction that reveals the real limits of his politics: a systematic, principled hostility to Marxism-Leninism, to socialist state power, and to every historical attempt by the working class to actually seize and hold power.

Open Letter by a Cuban Woman to the Peoples of the World

By Ikay Romay

To all humanity, to mothers of the world, to Doctors Without Borders, to journalists with self-respect, to governments that still want justice: I condemn the crime they don’t want to see.

My name is like millions of others – no famous last name, no important position. I am an ordinary Cuban woman – a daughter, a sister, a patriot. I write this with a broken heart and trembling hands. What my people go through today is not a crisis. It is slow, calculated murder, coldly executed from Washington. And the world looks the other way.

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.
