The struggle escalates with mass participation in today's nationwide strike
 
The participation of the workers and youth in today’s 24-hour national general strike on 28 February was huge, exactly two years after the railway crime, when two trains, a freight train and a passenger train, collided in the area of Tempi, near the city of Larissa, killing 57 people, mostly university students.

Rizospastis: The bargaining for Ukraine's mineral wealth exposes the imperialist pretexts

The daily newspaper “Rizospastis”, the organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece, refers on its front page of 26 February 2025 to the developments around the imperialist war in Ukraine and states in its headline: “The bargaining for mineral wealth exposes the imperialist pretexts”.

The article goes on to say that “The US-NATO-EU propaganda in defence of ‘democracy’ and ‘Western values’ is collapsing like a house of cards. The role of the ND government is exposed, as well as that of the social-democratic parties (PASOK, SYRIZA) and others who support the country’s involvement in the war. The positions of the KKE are confirmed”.

Russia's Maria Zakharova lectures French Minister of Foreign Affairs: Why France should thank the USSR

Editor's Note - NM: This site firmly maintains its position about the imperialist character of the war in Ukraine, which is waged between two major imperialist blocs, the Euro-Atlantic one (NATO,USA, EU, Ukraine) and the emerging Eurasian one (capitalist Russia, China and her allies). Within this context, we refrain from publishing statements/declarations or articles from bourgeois state/governmental sources involved in this matter. The text below is an exception that mainly serves historical purposes. All articles on the war can be found in the following tags: Ukraine War and Russia-Ukraine War.
 

Communist Knesset member Cassif: "They are trying to silence us, there’s a fascist atmosphere in Israel"

Racist Otzma Yehudit MK Almog Cohen announced past week that he would begin collecting lawmakers’ signatures to initiate impeachment proceedings against Hadash MK Ofer Cassif, condemning what he described as the Communist legislator’s “vile and disgraceful comparison of the voluntary emigration program for Gaza residents to the voluntary emigration of Jews from Nazi Germany.” 

In November, Cassif was suspended from the Knesset for six months over comments he made about the Israeli army war in Gaza. Under the terms of his suspension, Cassif is not allowed to enter the Knesset plenum or committee meetings except to vote.

Greeks to flood the streets on 28 February: National strike and demand for Justice for the Tempi train crash

We are going on strike!

This is the widespread call to struggle that the trade unions across the country are sounding for 28 February, the day when the private and public sectors will come to a standstill, two years after the crime in Tempe.

On that day, workers in factories, construction sites, shops, restaurants, services, etc. will participate in the strike en masse, together with the self-employed, small craftsmen and tradesmen.

Government of the Capitalists, by Elon Musk, for some Capitalists

U.S. capitalism is in economic decay. The disintegration of the capitalist republic follows. This article explains the class nature of U.S. "democracy" and its decay, which has accelerated under president Trump. We republish it here because other capitalist parliamentary regimes share the same class nature, and they, too, are in palpable decay. —  IDC.

Abraham Lincoln gave fame to the phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” Donald Trump had not been president again for two weeks when the U.S. took big steps to a government of the capitalist class, by Elon Musk, for some capitalists. This regime has already increased the suffering of the people, but it also moves us closer to revolutionary overthrow of capitalism.

KKE on the result of the German Elections: Popular discontent must acquire a radical, anticapitalist content

In a statement concerning the results of the German Federal Elections, which were held on Sunday 23 February, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), points out the following:

"The outcome of the German elections was influenced by two crucial and mutually reinforcing factors: on the one hand, the intensification of international antagonisms that permeate the ruling class of Germany, fueling bourgeois forces that appear as ''Eurosceptics''; on the other hand, the disapproval of the government of the Social Democrats and Greens, who have burdened the German people with the burdens of recession and war involvement.

Greek communist trade unionists blocked the transport of 350 tonnes of explosives destined to Ukraine

On Saturday 15 February, the Labour Centre of the city of Lavrio in eastern Attica, Greece, whose executive board is run by communists, blocked the transport of 350 tonnes of TNT explosives, which would have passed through the city centre without any measures to protect the people of the area.

The explosives were in fact destined for the Hellenic Defence Systems factory for the production of 155 mm artillery shells to be sent to the imperialist war in Ukraine as part of our country’s involvement, under the responsibility of the government, in support of the Zelenskiy regime.  

Free German Youth (FDJ) on German Election 2025: Class struggle instead of election campaigns

In a statement about the 2025 German Federal Elections, which is due to take place on Sunday 23 February, the Central Council of the Free German Youth (Freie Deutsche Jugend - FDJ) points out the following: 

“Only the dumbest calves choose their own butchers" — Bertolt Brecht

One thing in advance: now everyone can see that Merz and the fascists are joining hands and going on a manhunt because the economy is struggling. But resistance to fascism and war must not stop when it comes to other warmongers. Not when it comes to Scholz, not when it comes to Habeck. They are just as drunk on war, diligent expulsionists and part of the state-incited racism.

“A peace settlement is long overdue in Ukraine, so it’s time to stop the war and start the peace!”, Kevan Nelson declared on Tuesday evening (18 February 2025) following that day’s talks between the US and Russian governments,

KPD: Thoughts on the federal election

On February 23, 2025, the early federal election is approaching—a vote taking place in a time of growing social dissatisfaction and political polarization. People are increasingly and justifiably discontent with the current political landscape. But what are the real alternatives? How can we use our vote meaningfully, and what can we expect from the parties on the ballot?
