KKE on AfD surge in Germany: Capitalist exploitation and imperialist rivalries fuel the far-right

Following the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a historic victory with nearly 44% of the vote, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses that the rise of reactionary populism cannot be separated from capitalist exploitation, imperialist rivalries and the weakening of the class-oriented labour and communist movement.

In a comment, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE states:

 

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.

KKE slams Greece-Israel “Achilles Shield” deal, warns of deeper involvement in imperialist wars

Mitsotakis - Netanyahu (Archive)

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has strongly condemned the Greece-Israel agreement on the so-called “Achilles Shield,” warning that it represents yet another dangerous step in accelerating war preparations and dragging Greece and its people deeper into imperialist wars and US-NATO plans in the region.

In a statement, the KKE stressed that the New Democracy government is attempting to conceal the real character of the agreement behind claims about an “architecture for the protection of Greek territory” and the country’s defense. 

 

Venezuela-U.S oil deal exposes the total bankruptcy of social democracy

By Nikos Mottas

There are moments when political developments strip away every disguise and expose the class character of political forces with unusual clarity. The latest oil agreement between Washington and the government of Delcy Rodríguez is one such moment. After years of “Bolivarian,” “anti-imperialist” and even “socialist” rhetoric, Venezuela’s social-democratic leadership is presiding over a further opening of the country’s strategic energy wealth to U.S. monopoly interests. 

Trump and Rubio should be investigated for genocide against socialist Cuba

By Nikos Mottas

For more than six decades, the United States has attempted to disguise its aggressive imperialist policy toward Cuba as a question of “national security,” diplomatic pressure or concern for “democracy”. 

Behind this sanitized vocabulary stands a far more brutal reality: economic strangulation, political coercion, extraterritorial intimidation and the deliberate worsening of the material conditions of life of an entire people because that people refuses to renounce its Revolution.

“Yanks to the Rescue”: 30 years since the U.S. helped re-elect Boris Yeltsin

The 3rd of July marked the 30th anniversary of Boris Yeltsin's re-election in one of the most consequential presidential contests of the twentieth century. Western governments, corporate media and international financial institutions celebrated the result as a triumph of "democracy" over the alleged threat of a communist return. 

For the Russian working class, however, the election meant something entirely different. It marked the decisive consolidation of the capitalist counter-revolution that had begun with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

NATO: Who Will Finally Send the Bloodstained Alliance of Imperialism to the Dustbin of History?

By Nikos Mottas 

As NATO leaders conclude their summit in Ankara, once again proclaiming their commitment to "security," "stability" and the so-called "defense of democracy," the peoples have every reason to reject the mythology surrounding an alliance whose history is inseparable from imperialist aggression, intervention and war. 

Behind the carefully orchestrated communiqués, diplomatic handshakes and declarations of unity stands an organization created not to defend peace, but to defend the strategic interests of the dominant capitalist powers.

250 Years of U.S. History: Which America Do You Really Celebrate?

By Nikos Mottas

The fireworks have faded. The speeches have ended. Once again, the American ruling class celebrated another Independence Day beneath the familiar banners of liberty, democracy and the "American Dream." Yet beneath the official anniversary lies another America—one that rarely appears in presidential speeches or television retrospectives.

There has always been more than one America.

Communist Party of Ireland on the Irish Presidency of the EU: "There is simply not a better or more peaceful EU to be won"

Statement from the Communist Party of Ireland on the Irish Presidency of the EU

As the Irish government assumes the Presidency of the European Union from July our people will continue to be bombarded by over-exaggerated claims about the democratic nature of the EU and the extent of the Irish government influence on decisions, selling us the myth that we are at the heart of the EU power structures.  

Have you no shame? The European Parliament passes despicable anti-Cuba resolution

The European Parliament has once again placed itself openly on the side of U.S. imperialist pressure against socialist Cuba, approving a hostile resolution that demands “profound economic and political change” (!!) on the island, calls for new EU sanctions and threatens the suspension of the EU-Cuba Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement.

Sovintern and WAP: False Anti-Imperialism in Red Disguise

By Josef Brant

In Moscow, the so-called new international socialist network, Sovintern, has been launched under the leadership of the Russian capital's own “left patriots.” 

The initiative is presented with grand rhetoric about socialism, anti-imperialism, anti-colonial struggle, and international solidarity. Yet behind the red symbols, a different reality emerges: not proletarian internationalism, but bourgeois campism.

Cuba is not a threat; it is a victim of U.S. terrorism
