“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.

If Communism Is Dead, Why Is Trump Still Fighting It?

By Nikos Mottas 

 

Donald Trump's latest anti-communist offensive once again invoked the familiar spectre of an alleged communist threat to the United States. Yet it is the occasion, rather than the speech itself, that reveals the real political purpose of his intervention. It was not provoked by the emergence of a revolutionary workers' movement, the growth of a mass Communist Party or a wave of socialist expropriations. 

 

How MAGA and “Progressivism” Obscure the Struggle for Socialism

Article by the Editorial Board of "New Worker", official publication of the Communist Workers Platform USA (CWPUSA):  

In recent weeks, the Democratic Socialists of America has claimed a handful of electoral “victories.” In New York’s 7th and 13th Districts covering Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated the Democratic Party old guard in the primaries. In Colorado’s 1st District, Melat Kiros unseated 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette. These candidates have run on common platforms such as Medicare For All, Abolish Ice, Ending War, Housing for All, and Unions for All.

Communist Party USA blasts Trump's anti-communist hysteria: “Our enemy is not God, it’s capitalism”

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) condemned President Trump’s latest red‑baiting tirade against the social democratic "Democratic Socialists of America" (DSA) primary victories in New York and of the District of Columbia mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George, calling it a dangerous escalation of anti‑communist hysteria. 

 

“MAGA is going to lose the midterms and Trump’s getting desperate,” co-chair Rossana Cambron said.  

 

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.

The resolution was approved by a narrow majority, with 283 votes in favour, 199 against and 85 abstentions, following an intense campaign of anti-Cuban propaganda and pressure inside the European Parliament (Check HERE what every MEP voted)

KKE: The EU is complicit in the U.S-Israel's dirty war against Iran and Lebanon

Intervening in the debate on the Middle East held in the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg following the announcement of the preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) European Parliamentary Group delivered a statement condemning the EU's role in the region.

KKE MEP Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos stressed the following:

Tudeh Party welcomes U.S.-Iran agreement, warns against "merchants of war"

The Tudeh Party of Iran has welcomed reports of a preliminary understanding between the Iranian government and the United States aimed at ending the recent military confrontation, while warning that a lasting peace remains far from guaranteed.

In an article published in its central organ Nameh Mardom ("People's Letter"), the Iranian communist party argues that the country remains trapped in a state of political uncertainty despite the reported framework agreement. According to the article, Iran today finds itself "neither at war nor at peace," facing a complex combination of external threats and deep internal crises.

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

Yolanda and Fermín Rodríguez Díaz were 11 and 13 years old, respectively, when they were murdered on January 24, 1963, at the La Candelaria farm in Bolondrón by the gang of Juan José Catalá Coste, which operated in the southern part of Matanzas. 

 

Similarly, on March 13, 1962, in San Nicolás de Bari, then in Havana, the young Andrés Rojas Acosta was hanged with the same rope he was using to tie up his pig, a crime committed by the gang of the mercenary Waldemar Hernández.

 

Communist Workers' Platform USA: Unyieldingly on the side of Cuba and comrade Raúl Castro!

Statement by  Communist Workers' Platform of the USA on the Indictment of Raúl Castro and Imperialist Threats Against Cuba

"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. 

Communist Party of Venezuela denounces Rodríguez government’s submission to U.S. Imperialism

Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S. Air Military Maneuvers over Caracas and the Deepening of Imperialist Tutelage:

"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. 

“Hands Off Cuba!”: Thousands join militant KKE rally at the U.S. Embassy in Athens

A large and militant march of solidarity with the heroic Cuban people swept through the streets of Athens as the Organizations of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) led a powerful demonstration against U.S. imperialist aggression and the criminal blockade imposed on Cuba.

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!”.

Communist Parties of the U.S. and Mexico: Hands off Raúl Castro, hands off Cuba!

Communist Parties from the United States and Mexico have condemned the recent indictment of Cuban revolutionary leader Raúl Castro Ruz by the U.S. Government and the continuous threats of the Trump administration against Cuba. 

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. 

Communist Party of Greece (KKE): Solidarity with the courageous people of Cuba against criminal imperialist plans and any attempt at military intervention

In a statement concerning the aggressive actions of the United States against Cuba, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) emphasizes the following:

“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.

KKE MEP: Any attempt at US military intervention in Cuba must be condemned and prevented

During the hypocritical debate on human rights in Cuba held at the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE’s) MEPs intervened through a statement delivered by the Party's Eurodeputy Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos.

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.

Big tech’s AI scam: Working America pays the price

By Nathan Richardson 

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.’”

China, the “Thucydides Trap” and the Illusion of “Anti-Imperialist Multipolarity”

By Nikos Mottas

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. 

Pavel Blanco: Mexico's social democratic governments have yielded to U.S pressure

The interview's transcript is the following: 

 

War against Iran: Trump's whim or a link in the strategy of US imperialism?

By Eliseos Vagenas 

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. 

Communist Party of Venezuela: Delcy Rodríguez’s administration bows to foreign tutelage

The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), Oscar Figuera, rejected on Monday what he described as a policy of “tutelage” and “external imposition” on Venezuela, while denouncing the government led by Delcy Rodríguez as an administration “subjugated to transnational capital.”

During a press conference, Figuera stated that the current global landscape is marked by stark contrasts between countries resisting the pressures of big capital and those governments that, he said, “submit without resistance.”
