Karl Marx's grave in London vandalized by fascist cowards
Karl Marx died 136 years ago, but his legacy continues to scare the puppets of capitalism.
The founder of scientific socialism and writer of the "Capital"- the greatest philosopher in human history- remains a nightmare for the bourgeoisie and her stooges.
That is why they try to vilify Marxism, Socialism and Communism in any possible way.
This time, some cowards decided to vandalize the tomb of Karl Marx at London's Highgate cemetery, in a targeted attack that means the Grade I-listed monument will “never be the same again”, the Guardian newspaper reports.

PCM-PCPE Joint Statement: Exposing the role of Obrador and Sánchez governments
On the occasion of the official visit of the Prime Minister of the Spanish
Government to Mexico, the Communist Party of Mexico and the Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain, united by a fraternal relationship based on the
principles of proletarian internationalism, made this public statement.
1. Imperialism has entered a particularly dangerous stage, in which all
contradictions increase and the risk of a worldwide confrontation between the
different imperialist powers and blocs, in full dispute for a new division of the
world, increases. The visit of the Spanish PM to Mexico and the signing of
several joint statements between both governments are fully framed in this
global dispute, in which both governments defend the interests of the
bourgeoisie.
