Paris, October 3, 2025
Dear brothers and sisters, Dear comrades,
Today, October 3, 2025, we are here in Paris, from every continent, to honor 80 years since the founding of the WFTU.
The renewed U.S. aggression against Venezuela cannot be understood in isolation. It is not simply an episode of Washington’s unilateral hostility against a disobedient government. Rather, it is part of the broader inter-imperialist struggle that defines our epoch — a world order increasingly marked by the fierce rivalry between the U.S.-led imperialist bloc and the rising powers of Russia and China. Venezuela, with its vast oil reserves and strategic position in Latin America, has become a focal point in this global contest for domination, resources, and influence.
"We express deep concern over the recent escalation of tensions and cross-border hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Such confrontations neither serve regional peace nor the well-being of the working people of both nations. We firmly believe that both countries sharing deep historical and people’s ties must resolve their differences through dialogue and mutual respect rather than armed confrontation.
When U.S President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset on October 13, he did not merely deliver a diplomatic speech; he performed a spectacle of power designed to reassert U.S. hegemony in the region under the guise of peace.
His words, wrapped in a language of faith and reconciliation, revealed the fundamental logic of imperialism: domination disguised as partnership, subordination repackaged as sovereignty.
For quite some time, we have been living in a world that is very difficult to accept for those who want the well- being of humanity. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been no successful revolution and humanity was unable to significantly debilitate the authority of the exploiting rulers anywhere in the world.
On the contrary, that exploitative domination has penetrated every aspect of life; with all its decay and cruelty, it has become more reckless with each passing day in its attack on all the values that give meaning to human existence, and on concrete, physical human lives.
As President Trump addressed the Knesset, receiving thunderous applause for his hawkish vision, Odeh and Cassif stood.
When the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2025 Peace Prize to the US-sponsored Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, Western newspapers chorused their approval. They called her a “beacon of democracy,” a “symbol of peaceful resistance.”
But beneath the chorus of moral self-congratulation lies a century-long truth: the Nobel Peace Prize has never been a neutral honor. It has functioned as an ideological weapon — a ceremonial tool for legitimizing imperialism, sanctifying its agents, and discrediting those who resist it.
These include the Party’s assessments of developments in the world and the country, as well as a review of the Party’s activities and political tasks for the period leading up to the 23rd Congress.
More than twenty years have passed since Marwan Barghouti, one of Palestine’s most respected national leaders, was seized by Israeli forces and sentenced to life imprisonment.
His “crime” was not terrorism, as Israel’s courts declared — it was daring to represent what every system of oppression fears most: a unifying, legitimate, and popular voice for liberation and peace.
The communist movement in Palestine and Israel is as old as the twentieth century upheavals that reshaped the Middle East. It is not the story of dominant political forces or large armies, but of a small and persistent current that, for over a century, has tried to carve out a political path distinct from partition, conquest, and exclusion. Palestinian and Israeli communists—Arabs and Jews—built joint organizations, resisted colonialism, opposed military occupation, and spoke for coexistence at moments when the surrounding climate favored division and hostility.
This meeting took place only days after the 80th United Nations General Assembly, which showcased the inter-imperialist rivalries, conflicts and regional wars around the world .
Among those detained are 27 Greek activists, including one Greek Parliament member, prompting urgent calls from the party for their immediate release and safe return to Greece.
This includes halting the destruction of the Gaza Strip—its cities, towns, and refugee camps—as well as stopping annexation, settlement expansion, and forced deportations in the occupied West Bank. Every passing minute of this ongoing conflict results in further massacres and displacement that must cease without delay.
Across the left, there are currents — from communist parties to broader progressive forces — that elevate China and Russia as the “anti-imperialist” counterweight to U.S. hegemony. Within the ideological framework of so-called multipolarity, these states are portrayed as the alternative power bloc that will restrain imperialism and give oppressed nations breathing space.
Yet Palestine exposes this myth. As Gaza burns, Moscow and Beijing issue statements while preserving trade, diplomacy, and investment with Netanyahu Government. Their actions reveal not liberation, but complicity.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Indonesian massacres of 1965–66 — one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century, carried out under the banner of anti-communism.
More than a million communists, workers, peasants, intellectuals, and their families were butchered, while countless others were jailed, tortured, or disappeared.
It is a continuing source of frustration that an important segment of the left holds the view that weakening the United States’ long-established grip on the top rungs of the hierarchical system of imperialism is– in itself– an attack on imperialism.
Many of our friends, including those who claim to aim at a socialist future, mistakenly see an erosion in the US position as the imperialist system’s hegemon as necessarily a step guaranteeing a just future, lasting peace, or a step towards socialism.
According to 902 portal, the action was part of a broader international day of solidarity with the KPP, coinciding with delegations that attended the 51st KNE–Odigitis Festival.
The park transformed into a crimson citadel of defiance, echoing the Festival’s resounding slogan: “The spark will become a fire — with KKE strong, steadfast in every trial, ready at the call of History, for socialism.” For four days, Tritsis Park became a living “red city.” KNE’s organizations from every region marched in with banners, chants, and raised fists.
OUR COUNTRY’S INTERESTS WILL NOT BE BEGGED FOR AT THE WHITE HOUSE GATE!
The Erdoğan–Trump meeting in Washington is not a “step toward solutions.” It is the snapshot of a country pushed into a corner, standing at the edge of an abyss.
It was not simply a cultural tribute but a militant denunciation of war, genocide, and imperialism, affirming that true solidarity means exposing and confronting the real guilty parties: the imperialist powers, their governments, and the system of exploitation that sustains them.
The contemporary world is defined by the profound contradictions of global capitalism: economic instability, environmental collapse, militarism, and the resurgence of authoritarian and reactionary forces. Across continents, ultra-right currents advance with unprecedented audacity, from Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in the United States, to Viktor Orbán’s “illiberal democracy” in Hungary, Giorgia Meloni’s government in Italy, Javier Milei’s surge in Argentina, the fascist AfD in Germany, and Poland’s newly elected right-wing president.
"Very esteemed Mr. President; Distinguished Representatives of the world community:
I have not come to speak about Cuba. I do not come into the heart of this Assembly to air a denunciation about the aggressions our small but dignified country has suffered for 20 years. Nor do I come with unnecessary adjectives to wound our powerful neighbors here in their own house.
"Comrades of the Lebanese Communist Party
We greet the 43rd anniversary of the beginning of the Lebanese National Resistance Front, we convey to you the revolutionary greetings of the cadres, members and friends of the KKE, who are following the developments in your country and the region with great attention and stand in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and all the peoples suffering from imperialism.
Far from being isolated crimes or tragic mistakes, he argued, these are the pillars of a calculated plan that has been years in the making—one that aims to secure permanent domination over Palestinians while dismantling democracy for Jews and Arabs alike.
More than a concert, the evening in Izmir (Smyrna) became a living manifesto: a declaration that music and revolution remain inseparable, and that the peoples of the region share a common fight against imperialism, war, and exploitation.
Between the 1923 Turkish Revolution and the Great October Revolution, there is a striking temporal, geographical, and historical overlap.
Anatolia-centered national struggle against the occupation lasted roughly from 1919 to 1922. In a sense, 1923 marks the date when the century-long modernization process and the prolonged bourgeois revolution were consolidated with the Republic.
Nepal has once again been thrust into turmoil. In September 2025, mass protests driven primarily by young people—the so-called “Gen Z” generation—erupted against corruption, repression, and a political class that has long failed to provide jobs or hope.
The protests, sparked by unpopular government attempts to regulate and tax digital platforms, left dozens dead after brutal repression, and forced the resignation of the sitting government. An interim administration has been installed to manage the situation and guide the country toward elections.
Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, communists had always believed that the only way a socialist state could be destroyed was by hostile forces from the outside. Now we know that this was tragically wrong. The Soviet Union was destroyed by betrayal from within.
“We are in a very difficult phase as a people and as a country. We need to be as ready and mobilized as possible, because the government is constantly introducing new anti-labour and anti-people measures, starting with this monstrosity of a law that allows a 13-hour working day that will exhaust the people and workers.
In the closing months of the Second World War, Greece was on the brink of liberation. Nazi German forces, facing defeat on all fronts, began withdrawing from the country. Yet in the Peloponnese and other regions, their presence was maintained through the actions of local collaborators: the Security Battalions (Tagmata Asfaleias). These battalions—composed of Greeks—had fought not against the occupiers but against their own people. Armed, trained, and supported by the Nazis, they were tasked with crushing the communist-led resistance.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah has been immediately seized upon by the bourgeois press and state as a national tragedy, a “political assassination” that must unite society against “radical left extremism.”
Yet while the ruling class floods the airwaves with solemn denunciations of violence, it continues daily to unleash far greater violence upon the working class and oppressed peoples — through war, police repression, and the slow violence of exploitation.
"Noted reactionary Charlie Kirk’s chicken came home to roost on 10 September 2025. Speaking at a university in Utah spewing the usual hateful, racist, and vile rhetoric he made into his career, Mr. Kirk was killed by a gunshot to the neck. The shooter is as of today, 11 September, still at large. Mr. Kirk devoted his one life on Earth as a loyal mouthpiece of the ruling class, spreading hate amongst the workers and people of this country and beyond.
