The Battle of Meligalas: Revolutionary Justice Against Collaboration and Fascism

 By Nikos Mottas

In the closing months of the Second World War, Greece was on the brink of liberation. Nazi German forces, facing defeat on all fronts, began withdrawing from the country. Yet in the Peloponnese and other regions, their presence was maintained through the actions of local collaborators: the Security Battalions (Tagmata Asfaleias). These battalions—composed of Greeks—had fought not against the occupiers but against their own people. Armed, trained, and supported by the Nazis, they were tasked with crushing the communist-led resistance.

Marxism-Leninism on Individual Terror: A Response to the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

By Nikos Mottas

The assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah has been immediately seized upon by the bourgeois press and state as a national tragedy, a “political assassination” that must unite society against “radical left extremism.” 

Yet while the ruling class floods the airwaves with solemn denunciations of violence, it continues daily to unleash far greater violence upon the working class and oppressed peoples — through war, police repression, and the slow violence of exploitation.

In a statement about the assassination of far-right political activist and influencer Charlie Kirk, the Central Committee of the Communist Workers’ Platform USA (CWPUSA) stresses out the following:

"Noted reactionary Charlie Kirk’s chicken came home to roost on 10 September 2025.

The shooter is as of today, 11 September, still at large.

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.
