How the Charlie Kirk Assassination Plays into Trump’s Hands

By Nathan Richardson* 

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. A single bullet struck him in the neck, in front of thousands. 

The killing has been widely called a “political assassination.” It happened just as Kirk’s “American Comeback Tour” was gaining momentum among young people. Turning Point USA - the conservative youth-force he co-founded - was pulling in large crowds, influencing campus politics, and helping mobilize young voters in favor of Trump. This was no random tragedy. It was an event with perfect timing, high symbolic value - and it benefits Donald Trump & Co. here’s how. 

September 11th: A Tragedy Exploited by U.S Imperialism

By Nikos Mottas 

On September 11th, 2001, the United States experienced a shocking terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 people and wounded thousands more. For ordinary working people, it was a moment of profound grief, confusion, and fear. 

But for the ruling class of the United States, it became something else: a historic opportunity. The bourgeoisie, armed with state power and guided by the logic of imperialism, turned the tragedy into a justification for war, occupation, and repression.

The mayor of Kaisariani, a municipality in east Athens, has been summoned by state authorities to apologize due to his defensive stance towards sanitation employees. 

More specifically, as 902 portal reports, mayor Ilias Stamelos and 20 members of the Kaisariani Municipal Council, have been called by the Decentralised Administration of Attica on the basis of "dereliction of duty".

By Nikos Mottas

Recently, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of People's Republic of China's victory against Japan, the EU High Representative on Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas proceeded to a new provocative statement. During a speech, she said: “Russia turned to China and said: 'Russia and China fought in World War II, we won World War II, we defeated Nazism' and I thought: 'Okay, that's something new'. If you know history, it raises a lot of questions. Nowadays, people don't read much and don't remember history. It's clear that they buy these narratives”.

Communists of Serbia: The end is near 

For months now, the people's justified rebellion against the corrupt and criminalized government, embodied in Aleksandar Vučić and the SNS, has been going on. Of course, we should not forget his engaged servants - Ivica Dačić, Aleksandar Vulin and Milica Zavetnica. 

For a long time, the government responded to public protests with individual acts of violence - driving vehicles into the crowd, sporadic attacks on activists, etc. We are witnessing the beginning of a new phase in the government's reaction, which is reflected in the brutal and inappropriate use of force against the people who are demanding their basic democratic rights. 

What should we do on Fidel Castro's centenary?

By Sissi Abay Díaz*

On August 13, 2026, it will be a century since the birth of an indispensable man for the history of his country. Heir to the most genuine of revolutionary thought, promoter of socialist society and undisputedly responsible for a small Island, 90 miles from the United States, to have managed to build a society different from the stigmas established for the so-called Third World nations.

We will celebrate his life and main legacy: example. We will return to Fidel with poems, songs and tributes. We will fill public spaces and media with images and activities. But will it be enough? 

KKE: Using the “multi-polar world” to whitewash capitalism

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

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit meeting was used to foster new illusions among the peoples. Certain forces see imperialism merely as the “empire” of the USA and on this basis they salute the promotion of new emerging capitalist powers in global affairs, such as the emergence of new inter-state unions (BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Collective Security Treaty Organization, ALBA etc.), which are formed by capitalist states, with an economic–political and military content.

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.
