To the leadership of the KKE
Dear comrades,
tatement of the Tudeh Party of Iran: The Specter of Another Catastrophic War, the Intensifying Repression of Popular Protests, and the Responsibilities Before UsIran and the broader Middle East once again stand on the brink of ominous and dangerous developments. What now darkens the horizon of the near future is the real possibility of a catastrophic military confrontation that could be initiated by U.S. imperialism and the criminal government of Netanyahu.
The KKE condemns the threats and war preparations of US imperialism and the state of Israel for a new attack against Iran, as demonstrated by the build-up of massive firepower in the Persian Gulf. The region is at the centre of the storm of imperialist competition and could at any moment be engulfed in the flames of imperialist war.
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.
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.
"The arrest of the brother of the UK’s unelected head of state (and eighth in line of succession), and his interview under criminal caution on allegations of misconduct in public office is the most dramatic sign of the deepening crisis in the British state.

Recent developments in Venezuela and Iran reflect an escalation of US imperialist aggression in the wider regions of Latin America–Caribbean and the Persian Gulf, warnings that the KKE issued to the peoples in a timely manner.
"Poverty, the cost of living, unemployment; workplace murders, mobbing and injustice; gambling, drugs, harassment, abuse, violence, femicides, corruption—in short, a society in full decay, and a country shaken by earthquakes and fires. The list goes on.
The results of the 33rd Congress elections, concluded on Sunday, showed a clear strengthening of the DAS (Democratic Workers’ Movement) list, the PAME-aligned slate of rank-and-file workers’ representatives.
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.
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.
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.
«Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!»
"We firmly condemn US imperialism’s new escalation of aggression against the sovereignty and independence of Cuba and against the rights of the Cuban people.
Cuba Is Not Alone! PAME internationalist delegation to the Island of the Revolution
“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.

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.
