Cypriot Communists warn against “illusions” following Erhürman’s election in occupied northern Cyprus

The Communist Initiative of Cyprus (Κομμουνιστική Πρωτοβουλία Κύπρου /Kıbrıs Komünist İnisiyatifi) has issued a statement responding to the election of Tufan Erhürman as the new leader in the occupied north, warning that his victory should not be seen as a step toward resolving the Cyprus problem or ending the island’s division.

While many analysts have described Erhürman’s election as an opportunity to restart peace talks, the Communist Initiative describes such expectations as “diplomatic” rather than substantive. 
 

We must defend Venezuela’s sovereignty against U.S Imperialism — But not excuse Maduro’s government

By Nikos Mottas

The renewed U.S. aggression against Venezuela cannot be understood in isolation. It is not simply an episode of Washington’s unilateral hostility against a disobedient government. Rather, it is part of the broader inter-imperialist struggle that defines our epoch — a world order increasingly marked by the fierce rivalry between the U.S.-led imperialist bloc and the rising powers of Russia and China. Venezuela, with its vast oil reserves and strategic position in Latin America, has become a focal point in this global contest for domination, resources, and influence.

Communist Party of Pakistan: Statement on the escalating Pakistan-Afghanistan confrontation

Statement by the Communist Party of Pakistan on the escalating Pakistan-Afghanistan confrontation:

"We express deep concern over the recent escalation of tensions and cross-border hostilities between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Such confrontations neither serve regional peace nor the well-being of the working people of both nations. We firmly believe that both countries sharing deep historical and people’s ties must resolve their differences through dialogue and mutual respect rather than armed confrontation.

A Marxist Critique of Trump’s Knesset Address

When U.S President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset on October 13, he did not merely deliver a diplomatic speech; he performed a spectacle of power designed to reassert U.S. hegemony in the region under the guise of peace. 

His words, wrapped in a language of faith and reconciliation, revealed the fundamental logic of imperialism: domination disguised as partnership, subordination repackaged as sovereignty.

Book review: "Revolution" by Kemal Okuyan

By Nevzat Evrim Onal

For quite some time, we have been living in a world that is very difficult to accept for those who want the well- being of humanity. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been no successful revolution and humanity was unable to significantly debilitate the authority of the exploiting rulers anywhere in the world.

On the contrary, that exploitative domination has penetrated every aspect of life; with all its decay and cruelty, it has become more reckless with each passing day in its attack on all the values that give meaning to human existence, and on concrete, physical human lives.

The Voice of the Peoples: Hadash lawmakers Odeh and Cassif defy imperialists in the Knesset

In a defiant act of moral clarity, two members of HadashAyman Odeh and Ofer Cassif — rose in the Knesset today to break the silence, demanding that the United States immediately recognize Palestinian statehood. Their banner, reading simply “Recognize Palestine,” became a weapon in itself — a call to justice echoing through the marble halls of Israel’s legislature.

As President Trump addressed the Knesset, receiving thunderous applause for his hawkish vision, Odeh and Cassif stood.

Nobel Peace Prize or "How to Whitewash Imperialism"

By Nikos Mottas

When the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2025 Peace Prize to the US-sponsored Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, Western newspapers chorused their approval. They called her a “beacon of democracy,” a “symbol of peaceful resistance.” 

But beneath the chorus of moral self-congratulation lies a century-long truth: the Nobel Peace Prize has never been a neutral honor. It has functioned as an ideological weapon — a ceremonial tool for legitimizing imperialism, sanctifying its agents, and discrediting those who resist it.

Marwan Barghouti must be freed and lead a sovereign and independent Palestinian state

By Nikos Mottas

More than twenty years have passed since Marwan Barghouti, one of Palestine’s most respected national leaders, was seized by Israeli forces and sentenced to life imprisonment. 

His “crime” was not terrorism, as Israel’s courts declared — it was daring to represent what every system of oppression fears most: a unifying, legitimate, and popular voice for liberation and peace.
