What If Cuba Had Nuclear Weapons? The Limits of “Peaceful Coexistence”

By Nikos Mottas

Today, more than six decades after the Cuban Revolution, the United States continues to enforce one of the most prolonged and comprehensive systems of economic warfare in modern history. The blockade—tightened, codified, and expanded over decades—seeks not merely to pressure, but to suffocate. 

Sanctions on fuel, financial strangulation, extraterritorial enforcement, and constant efforts to disrupt Cuba’s access to energy and trade are not isolated measures; they form a coherent strategy aimed at exhausting a society that refuses to abandon its chosen path.

KKE's Koutsoumbas warns of “extremely dangerous escalation” as Greece is drawn deeper into Iran war

Tudeh Party of Iran on the death of Ali Khamenei and the right of the Iranian people to decide their future

In a new statement, the Tudeh Party of Iran stresses out: 

"Dear compatriots,

Following the aggressive attacks by Netanyahu’s criminal regime and U.S. imperialism on Iranian soil, Ali Khamenei—the regime’s Supreme Leader and a dictator who over the past thirty-seven years, through destructive policies and the reactionary ideology of “political Islam,” drove the country to the brink of war and destruction—along with a number of his family members and close associates, as well as some commanders of the Revolutionary Guard and repressors of the people, have been killed.

Four Years Under Death’s Ravenous Gaze

The conflict in Eastern Ukraine did not come as a surprise to the KKE. It marked the ignition of a confrontation that had long been in the making — methodically prepared in the pressure cooker of clashing powerful interests — and it is a direct consequence of the capitalist restoration that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It is worth recalling that at the time, the entire spectrum of Greece’s political establishment, from the far right to the so-called “renewed Left” — except the KKE — was proclaiming that “the avenues of peace and prosperity” were opening up for the peoples.

The Relentless Expansion of the U.S. Military Budget as a Pillar of Imperialist Aggression

By Nathan Richardson* 

There are moments in the history of capitalist decay when the contradictions of imperialism reveal themselves in stark, unavoidable clarity. Today, as the U.S. military budget surges toward the trillion-dollar threshold in fiscal year 2026, we witness precisely such a revelation: a parasitic apparatus that devours the surplus value produced by the working class, redirecting it toward endless wars of plunder and domination while the masses at home endure poverty, homelessness, and crumbling social infrastructure.

By Eliseos Vagenas*

Cuba Sends Doctors. The USA Sends Bombs

By Nikos Mottas 

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.

More than 100 Communist and Workers' Parties say: Stop the escalation of aggression against Cuba!

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. 

Why we should defend Cuba at all costs

By Nikos Mottas

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.

Greenland: A "Northern Front" of Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

By Nikos Mottas 

The developments surrounding Greenland should not be treated as a diplomatic anomaly or as the product of individual political choices. 

They are a concentrated expression of the contemporary phase of imperialism, in which the sharpening competition among capitalist powers drags strategic regions and smaller peoples into conflicts not of their own making.
