From Sputnik 1 and Yuri Gagarin to Artemis II: The Socialist Origins of Spaceflight

By Nikos Mottas

The ongoing Artemis II mission—set to carry humans once again into lunar orbit—marks a significant moment for contemporary space exploration. It reflects accumulated technological progress, decades of experience, and renewed ambition. 

But if we are serious about understanding how humanity reached this point, we cannot begin the story here. The road to Artemis did not start in the 21st century nor in the laboratories of private corporations. It began in a very different political and social context: with the first socialist state in history, the Soviet Union.

Bogus Anti-imperialism and the Fight for Peace

By Greg Godels 

Where V.I. Lenin in 1916 wove together a theory of imperialism that placed capitalist exploitation and accumulation at its core, explaining competition between greater and lesser powers and their coalitions and alliances as leading to war, a prominent Marxist, Karl Kautsky, asserted that war or the threat of war would persuade states to coexist, to put aside rivalries and create– in Kautsky’s words– “…a federation of the strongest, who renounce their arms race.”

Greek soldiers at the forefront of the struggle against the imperialist war and for Greece’s withdrawal from it

Many young conscripts made a distinct, symbolic, and meaningful presence felt at the recent workers’ rally in Athens against the imperialist war and for Greece’s withdrawal from it.

Together they chanted the slogan: “Conscripts are the children of the people and have no business outside the borders”.

Why socialist Cuba is more democratic than the U.S

By Nikos Mottas 

The renewed escalation of hostility by the Trump administration towards Cuba—through tightened sanctions, political pressure, and open ideological aggression—once again exposes a fundamental contradiction. 

A country that presents itself as the "global model of democracy" continues to treat a small socialist island as a persistent threat. This is not a coincidence. It points to something deeper: what is being contested is not “democracy” in the abstract, but two fundamentally different ways of organizing power in society.

Communist Party of Israel strongly condemns Knesset law mandating death penalty for Palestinians

Fascist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir

The decision of the Knesset to approve legislation imposing the death penalty on Palestinians marks a very dangerous escalation in the institutionalized repression of an entire people—an escalation that has been met with a forceful and uncompromising response from the Communist Party of Israel.

Adopted on the night of March 30, the law stipulates that capital punishment will be imposed on anyone who carries out a deadly attack “with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel.” In reality, however, the law is crafted in such a way that it overwhelmingly targets Palestinians.
