Along with the territory went crucial fortifications and strategic positions, leaving Czechoslovakia gravely weakened before the Nazi war machine.

Editorial published in Tribuna Popular, Organ of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV):

Delcy Rodríguez’s speech before the 81st United Nations General Assembly deserves to be examined closely, not only for what she said, but for everything she left unsaid. 

Rodríguez avoided any direct reference to the US military intervention of January 3, which culminated in the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, presenting those events instead as “a painful ordeal” for Venezuela.

By Nikos Mottas

“America will never be a communist country,” declares the 30-second advertisement now appearing on American television. Images of Donald Trump flash across the screen alongside boasts about tax cuts and economic performance, before the message arrives at its most revealing line: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

By Nikos Mottas

The despicable threats against Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor expose the increasingly authoritarian character of Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government. Their award-winning documentary NAZA, based on testimonies from Israeli military and intelligence personnel, investigates the conduct of the Israeli army in Gaza.

Sweden’s workers need a stronger Communist Party — Vote SKP, strengthen the Communists!

“Don’t waste your vote — strengthen the Communists!”
This Sunday, September 13, Sweden goes to the polls. Amid the familiar electoral promises and manufactured differences between the established parties, the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP) is putting forward a fundamentally different choice: not another formula for administering capitalism, but a political alternative rooted in the interests of the working class and the struggle for socialism. For decades, Swedish social democracy cultivated the image of a capitalism capable of reconciling the interests of labour and capital. Today, that illusion is increasingly difficult to sustain.

115th birth anniversary of Todor Zhivkov: Capitalist Bulgaria cannot erase nostalgia for socialism

September 7 marked the 115th anniversary of the birth of Todor Zhivkov, the long-time leader of socialist Bulgaria. 
 
More than three decades after the restoration of capitalism, Bulgarian public opinion continues to present an inconvenient problem for the official anti-communist narrative: large sections of the population still remember the socialist period positively, and repeated surveys since the 2000s show that nostalgia for the Zhivkov era is far from marginal.

Gusanos and traitors: The Cuban-American servants of U.S. Imperialism

For more than six decades, U.S. imperialism has tried to crush the Cuban Revolution through blockade, sanctions, sabotage, subversion and economic strangulation. Washington has never forgiven Cuba for breaking with U.S. domination and choosing socialism.

A particularly reactionary layer of Cuban-American politicians — the political descendants of Miami’s gusano counterrevolution — has made this aggression a career. 
 

The Rise of Nationalist and Chauvinist Currents and the Tendency of Political Systems Toward Reaction

By Ástor García

The historical development of capitalism in its imperialist phase continuously confirms Lenin’s thesis that, as the domination of monopolies deepens and the contradictions of the capitalist system intensify, the bourgeoisie progressively abandons its own “democratic” forms of rule and turns toward increasingly reactionary, authoritarian, and violent methods. This process corresponds to the objective necessity of maintaining class power in a context of crisis, inter-imperialist competition, and the potential rise of working-class struggle.

Communist Party of Britain to join mass anti-fascist rally in London on October 4

The Communist Party of Britain (CPB) will participate in a major march and rally in London on Sunday 4 October, marking the 90th anniversary of the historic Battle of Cable Street under the slogan “They Shall Not Pass.”

The mass mobilisation ultimately forced the fascist march to turn back.

CIA’s anti-communist feminist icon Gloria Steinem dies

Gloria Steinem, one of the most prominent figures of U.S. liberal feminism, died on September 2 at the age of 92. Mainstream obituaries have overwhelmingly celebrated her as a pioneer of the women’s movement. Far less attention has been given to another documented part of her political record: her collaboration with the CIA during the Cold War.

Before becoming a leading feminist figure, Steinem worked closely with CIA operatives through the Independent Research Service, a CIA-financed organization created to intervene in the World Youth Festivals in Vienna in 1959 and Helsinki in 1962.

Joseph Stalin’s bas-relief returns to Volgograd Medical University after 65 years

A bas-relief of Joseph Stalin has been restored to its original place on the façade of the Volgograd State Medical University, 65 years after it was removed during the Khrushchev-era campaign of "de-Stalinization".

The building, originally constructed as the Higher Party School in Stalingrad, was designed by architects Vasily Simbirtsev and Yefim Levitan. Its main entrance originally featured four profiles — Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. Stalin’s image was removed in November 1961, while those of Marx, Engels and Lenin remained.
