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?
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.

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”!
"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.
"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.
Following a large demonstration on Saturday (23/5) afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators marched toward the U.S. embassy chanting: “Hands off Cuba!”, “Cuba is not alone!” and the historic anti-imperialist slogan “Neither land nor water to the murderers of the peoples!”.
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.
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.
CPUSA: Hands off Castro! No war on Cuba!
"The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States.
“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.
The letter by the Party’s MEPs, Kostas Papadakis and Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, reads as follows:
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.
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 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.
Delegates from across Italy will discuss the new theses, which mark a major political, ideological and organizational strengthening of the Party.

President Xi Jinping’s invocation of the so-called “Thucydides Trap” during the recent hosting of Donald Trump was not a neutral geopolitical observation. It reflected a real and sharpening contradiction within the imperialist system: the contradiction between the dominant US-led capitalist bloc and the rising capitalist power of China.
According to the bourgeois theory of the “Thucydides Trap,” war becomes likely when an emerging power threatens the dominance of an established hegemon.
On the Plundering of the Soviet Legacy
At present, two main tactics are being employed by the bourgeois classes in the territories of the former Soviet Union against the communist movement:
The critical developments in the Persian Gulf region, marked by the US and Israeli military attack against Iran , which began on February 28, cast their shadow over global developments.
Every bourgeois media outlet and analyst has grabbed a “daisy”, trying to guess “will Trump strike again, or will he not strike again”. Such an approach, however, leaves important aspects of imperialist plans far from our attention and cultivates the mistaken perception that the peoples are hostages of a personality (Trump), who may not stand firm in his logic.
Among those detained are Political Bureau members Dr. Omar Awad and Osama Zain al-Din, along with student activist Bahaa Hisham Ahmad.
