Portuguese Communist Party hails nationwide strike against the government’s proposed Labour Package

Statement by Paulo Raimundo, General Secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) concerning the General Strike against the government's "Labour Package" held across Portugal on Wednesday 3 May.

"Today’s (3 May) General Strike is a powerful action to defeat the Labour Package [of labour laws] which was presented by the PSD/CDS Government and supported by Chega, IL [parties] and the bosses’ confederations. It is a clear rejection of social regression and of the heightened exploitation that they wish to impose upon the workers. 

Hall of Shame: The 10 Most Anti-Communist Countries in 2026

By Nikos Mottas

Communism has supposedly been reduced to a relic of the past for more than three decades. Bourgeois politicians, media commentators and professional anti-communists have spent years assuring us that Marxism-Leninism belongs to the past, that socialism was decisively defeated, and that history has already delivered its final verdict. Yet a simple question remains unanswered: 

If communism is truly dead, as they claim, why do so many governments continue to fight it so fiercely?

Cuba is not a threat; it is a victim of U.S. terrorism

Yolanda and Fermín Rodríguez Díaz were 11 and 13 years old, respectively, when they were murdered on January 24, 1963, at the La Candelaria farm in Bolondrón by the gang of Juan José Catalá Coste, which operated in the southern part of Matanzas.

Statement of the European Communist Action: No to an imperialist attack! Solidarity with the people of Cuba!

The Parties of the European Communist Action (ECA) condemn in the strongest possible terms the escalating aggression of US imperialism, including the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the Caribbean Sea, the baseless accusations levelled against Raúl Castro, and the provocative threats of military attack directed against Cuba, the rights of its people, and the achievements of the Cuban Socialist Revolution.

155 years since the Paris Commune: Who shall rule society?

By Nikos Mottas

One hundred and fifty-five years later, the 1871 Paris Commune remains one of the clearest guides to understanding both the possibilities and the limits of revolutionary struggle. Its enduring significance lies not simply in the fact that it was the first historical attempt by the working class to establish its own power and confront the bourgeois state in practice, nor in the extraordinary heroism of the Communards, but in the lessons it provided on the central question of every revolution: What must be done with bourgeois power?

KKE slams Tsipras’ new party as recycled, bankrupt social democracy

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has launched a sharp attack against the newly announced political party of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, denouncing it as an attempt to recycle bankrupt social-democratic illusions and construct a new pillar for the stabilization of the bourgeois political system in Greece.

The new party, officially presented on Tuesday, May 26, in Athens under the name Hellenic Left Alignment (ELAS), is being promoted as a “progressive” force capable of reshaping the Greek center-left.

In a statement issued by the International Relations Section of the KKE Central Committee, the party denounced the arrests and police violence targeting cadres of the CPI(M), stressing that such measures are aimed at intimidating the workers’ and popular movement in India and suppressing political struggle against anti-people policies.

Soviet flag sparks anti-communist frenzy in Czech Republic!

An act of political defiance at the Brno city council in the Czech Republic has once again exposed the rabid anti-communism of the Czech ruling class and the broader reactionary campaign underway across Europe to criminalize the communist movement.  

On May 19, during a council session, a woman raised a Soviet flag in protest against the gathering of the Sudeten German association in the city — an organization tied to the legacy of German revanchism and the post-war dispute over the Sudetenland. Police immediately intervened and authorities launched an investigation against the protester for allegedly promoting a... “totalitarian ideology”! 

TKP condemns judicial intervention against CHP, warns of growing authoritarianism in Turkey

The recent judicial intervention against the Republican People’s Party (CHP) has been met with sharp condemnation by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), which described the move as an unacceptable state intervention into the internal affairs of a political party and another step in the Erdoğan government’s broader authoritarian offensive against democratic and political rights in Turkey.

 

Communist Workers' Platform USA: Unyieldingly on the side of Cuba and comrade Raúl Castro!

Statement by  Communist Workers' Platform of the USA on the Indictment of Raúl Castro and Imperialist Threats Against Cuba

"The Communist Workers' Platform of the USA denounces the profane indictment of General Raúl Castro by the Trump administration as a further escalation of its aggressive campaign to strangle the Cuban Revolution. Guided by its dangerous plans for control in the Western Hemisphere outlined in the National Security Strategy, US imperialism is utilizing this indictment to lay the groundwork for a military attack against Cuba and its people. 

Communist Party of Venezuela denounces Rodríguez government’s submission to U.S. Imperialism

Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S. Air Military Maneuvers over Caracas and the Deepening of Imperialist Tutelage:

"The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), elected at its 16th National Congress (November 2022), categorically rejects the U.S. military air maneuvers scheduled to take place over Caracas on Saturday, May 23.

These military operations represent a dangerous escalation of imperialist interference in Venezuela and a direct affront to national sovereignty.

VERGOGNA! Meloni government pushes Marx and Gramsci out of Italian schools

The far-right Italian government is once again revealing its deeply reactionary political agenda. Under the guise of “educational reform,” the administration of Giorgia Meloni is moving to marginalize Marx and Gramsci from philosophy programs in Italian high schools, provoking outrage among academics, teachers and intellectuals across the country.

The attempt to push Marxist thought out of schools represents a deliberate effort to reshape education according to a conservative, nationalist and openly anti-communist narrative. 

Ukraine officially rehabilitates Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk

The Ukrainian authorities have proceeded with the official repatriation and honoring of Andriy Melnyk, leader of the notorious Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-M), once again exposing the increasingly open rehabilitation of fascist and collaborationist forces within the country’s official historical narrative.

Melnyk was one of the principal leaders of the OUN, an ultra-nationalist and fiercely anti-communist organization that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. Despite repeated attempts by Ukrainian nationalist circles to sanitize this history, the political character of the OUN remains inseparable from fascist ideology, ethnic chauvinism and collaboration with the Nazi occupation.

Communist Parties of the U.S. and Mexico: Hands off Raúl Castro, hands off Cuba!

In a statement concerning the aggressive actions of the United States against Cuba, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) emphasizes the following:

“We condemn the provocative issuance by the United States of an arrest warrant against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro —a move through which US imperialism once again bares its teeth against the heroic Cuban people, whom it has long sought to strangle economically through the criminal blockade imposed upon the country.

KKE MEPs to the European Union: Stop covering Israel’s pirate attacks in international waters

The European Parliamentary Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has sent a new letter to the Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, condemning the latest Israeli pirate attack against the solidarity flotilla heading to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

The letter by the Party’s MEPs, Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, reads as follows:

KKE MEP: Any attempt at US military intervention in Cuba must be condemned and prevented

During the hypocritical debate on human rights in Cuba held at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE’s) MEPs intervened through a statement delivered by the Party's Eurodeputy Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos.

The debate, which began with High Representative Kaja Kallas remaining silent on the US embargo, soon descended into an outpouring of anti-communism, attacks, and threats directed against Cuba. These, however, were firmly answered by  both the KKE MEP and other MEPs.

Big tech’s AI scam: Working America pays the price

By Nathan Richardson 

In the spring of 2026, as the U.S. economy teeters on the brink of stagflation and recession, America’s tech giants are once again shifting the burden of the crisis onto the working class. Meta is axing 10% of its workforce (roughly 8,000 real people) with cuts beginning in May and more planned later this year. 

Projections show deeper reductions could reach 20% by year’s end. Amazon is gutting over 30,000 corporate jobs, another 10% slice of its white-collar staff. These are not ‘streamlining’ measures. They are decisions driven by the structural logic of capitalist accumulation, presented as ‘AI efficiency.’”

Raúl Castro is a hero: The real criminals are the U.S. Imperialists

By Nikos Mottas

Raúl Castro is certainly not a criminal, regardless of how desperately the Trump administration attempts to portray him as one. He is a revolutionary who dedicated his life to the struggle against dictatorship, foreign domination and capitalist exploitation in Cuba. The renewed threats surrounding a possible U.S. arrest warrant against him are nothing more than another act of imperial arrogance by a state that has spent more than sixty years trying to suffocate the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sabotage, economic warfare and permanent political aggression.
