China's Decisive Role in the Defeat of Fascism in WWII: A Response to Taiwan’s Historical Revisionism

By Nikos Mottas

Recently, Taiwan’s government has once again attempted to rewrite the history of the Second World War, claiming that the Communist Party of China (CPC) played no role in the resistance against Japanese imperialism and, by extension, no role in the victory over fascism. 

This claim is not only historically inaccurate — it is a deliberate act of political revisionism, intended to deny the legacy of socialist struggle and the contribution of the Chinese people in the 1945 Great Antifascist Victory. 

KKE: The way out of the capitalist barbarism of "peace" and war lies only in the struggle against the monopolies and capitalism, in the struggle for socialism!

Comment of the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE 

The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska was used to cultivate complacency and false hopes that a compromise between the imperialist powers could lead to the elimination of the causes of war and "real peace" for the peoples, which would put an end to the bloodshed in Ukraine. The KKE has already taken a position on this issue (see here https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/Statement-by-the-Press-Office-of-the-Central-Committee-of-the-KKE-on-the-Trump-Putin-meeting/  and https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/Statement-on-the-negotiations-regarding-the-war-in-Ukraine/ ), yet we would like to take the opportunity today to comment on some political positions that are being reiterated regarding the achievement of a "just solution," which you argue could also be supported by communists.

"It is unacceptable for the Greek government to support the genocide and starvation of the Palestinian people by supporting a war criminal along with its allies. It must stop now, immediately, and cease all cooperation with this murderous state. A free Palestinian state within the 1967 borders must be recognized, based on the unanimous decision of the Greek Parliament in 2015", Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), stated during a rally held on Sunday 25 August in Athens.

The spectre is still haunting them: German court declares Karl Marx’s teachings "unconstitutional"

"A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism". 177 years since the publication of the Communist Manifesto, the spectre is still haunting the capitalists, the bourgeois governments and their allies.  

Karl Marx and his teachings are still so dangerous for the ruling classes that courts in Europe try to declare them as "unconstitutional". 

A court in Hamburg, Germany, has stated in the details of a ruling concerning a Karl Marx reading group that Marx’s teachings may be contrary to the “free democratic basic order.” 

Which way out of Trump hell? Liberal, Dem-Soc, or Communist?

By Charles Andrews*

The working class knows who Donald Trump is.

Masked ICE goons rip people out of their workplace, school, and home. Police club demonstrators who shout against genocide in Gaza. High schools and colleges fire teachers who let students discuss the history of Zionism. Eight hundred employees of the weather service, NOAA, are fired; when disaster strikes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) cannot dispatch enough staff to the flooded or burning land.

The funeral of the so-called “21st century socialism” in Bolivia

By Nikos Mottas 

The results of Sunday's elections in Bolivia were devastating for the leftist “Movement of Socialism” (Movimiento al Socialismo), known by the acronym MAS. Eduardo del Castillo, MAS’s candidate, received only approximately 3 percent of the vote—a historic collapse for a party that had ruled Bolivia for nearly two decades. 

This result highlighted deep-seated economic crisis—20–25 percent inflation, fuel and dollar shortages, public frustration—and internal divisions within MAS (notably between Morales-aligned “Evista” and Arce-aligned “Arcista” factions).

KKE: The imperialist bargaining on Ukraine does not portend anything positive for the peoples

In a statement (here in Greek) regarding the negotiations between the US, EU-NATO, Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out:

“The live-streamed bargaining between those responsible for the war massacre in Ukraine does not portend anything positive for the people, nor does it focus on “peacemaking” and the “end of bloodshed”, as it is provocatively presented, but on the division of territories, “security guarantees” - that is, how the political-military relationship between NATO and Russian forces in Ukrainian territories will be settled - the businesses of large monopoly groups and arms packages.

"They have become communist": The 1993 Yeltsin-Supreme Soviet standoff and the dirty role of the US

Following the victory of the counterrevolution and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian leadership under Boris Yeltsin proceeded to harsh economic reforms (known as “shock therapy”), thus causing, among others, inflation, unemployment, and severe public discontent. 

Within this context, a growing conflict between Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) over economic policy and division of powers began to unravel. The Supreme Soviet resisted capitalist reforms and pushed back against the increasing presidential authority.

The attempt to vilify Lenin in capitalist Russia: On the occasion of the reactionary film "The Mummy"

A new “documentary”, "The Mummy," which premiered in Moscow on June 26, has ignited a firestorm of debate surrounding the legacy of Vladimir Lenin and his final resting place.  

 

Produced by the fervently religious Christian channel “Spas” (Saviour), the film argues for the destruction of Lenin's Mausoleum, portraying it as a satanic temple and a bleeding wound on the soul of the Russian nation. The “documentary” presents a fantastical narrative, linking the Bolsheviks and their leader to a range of dark forces, including Egyptian pharaohs, Babylonian ziggurats, and Masonic conspiracies aimed at global domination by Satan. 

 

The two faces of Israel from a Marxist perspective

By Nikos Mottas 

The recent mass demonstrations held in Israel against the heinous plans of the Netanyahu Government to takeover Gaza remind us that societies aren't monolithic entities; they contain conflicting forces within them. 

Anyone with a fundamental perception of dialectics can understand the massive contradictions that exist in modern capitalist societies, including the Israeli one.
