"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.
Read below statements by various Communist and Workers' Parties:
A “Conference of Democratic Forces,” organized by the Popular Left Alliance (PLA) was held at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Monday amid heavy police presence, harassment and targeted arrests aimed at disrupting the event. The conference was convened to defend democratic political culture and oppose growing undemocratic interference in politics by the ruling military establishment, as well as anti-people policies and projects.
Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the CC of the KKE, speaking on 4 February 2026 in the plenary session of the Greek Parliament during the debate on the bill of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum for the “promotion of legal migration”, demanded that responsibility be assigned, those guilty be punished and a full investigation be carried out into the real circumstances of the tragedy in Chios.
The much-publicized Epstein scandal is persistently described as a “dark anomaly,” a moral rupture inside an otherwise functioning system. This description is false. What it conceals is more important than what it reveals. The affair did not expose a deviation from capitalism but one of its normal, if usually less visible, operations. By treating Epstein as an exception, bourgeois discourse shields the system that made him possible.
Thirty-five years after the counter-revolution, the overthrow of socialism, and the capitalist restoration in the Soviet Union and other socialist states, the KKE continues to struggle steadfastly under adverse conditions marked by an international unfavourable correlation of forces.
In the letter, the Tudeh Party refers to the current situation in Iran and expresses its categorical opposition to any foreign intervention in the internal affairs of the Iranian people, who alone are responsible and sovereign in deciding the future of their homeland:
"Having become emboldened after its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is now intensifying its aggression against Cuba, with the ridiculous argument that it is "facing aggressive actions." In this context, the US is considering imposing tariffs and sanctions on countries that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, as well as a "naval blockade" of the Island of Revolution.
La reciente escalada de amenazas brutales y medidas coercitivas contra Cuba por parte de la administración Trump marca una nueva fase de una política que no es ni accidental ni episódica.
El endurecimiento de las sanciones, el ataque a los suministros de combustible, la intensificación de las restricciones financieras y la retórica abierta de intimidación constituyen en conjunto una agudización deliberada de la guerra económica contra el pueblo cubano.
The recent escalation of vicious threats and coercive measures against Cuba by the Trump administration marks a new phase in a policy that is neither accidental nor episodic.
The tightening of sanctions, the targeting of fuel supplies, the intensification of financial restrictions, and the open rhetoric of intimidation together constitute a deliberate sharpening of economic warfare against the Cuban people.
"From the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), we firmly denounce the new Executive Order issued by President Trump, which seeks to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to Cuba in order to create greater hardships for our people and to obstruct the construction of our socialist model.

In modern Iranian history, anti-communism has never been an accident or a mere ideological reflex. It has been a permanent weapon of bourgeois state power. Across regimes that appeared to stand at opposite ideological poles — the pro-Western, secular monarchy of the Pahlavi dynasty and the theocratic order established after 1979 — the repression of communists and revolutionary leftists formed a stable axis of continuity. The language of power changed; its class function did not.
As 902 portal stresses out, "the members and friends of the KKE and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) welcome the 22nd Congress with a deep sense of responsibility and pride, with militant yet realistic optimism rooted in the justice of our struggle and in the necessity of advancing our Programme—for a society free from exploitation, capitalist barbarism, and imperialist wars."
We, the undersigned Communist and Workers' Parties which have supported the struggle of Iranian people for peace, sovereignty, human and democratic rights, social justice, and against threats of imperialist attack are watching with grave concern the current developments in the country.
