Speaking at the concluding ceremony of the CPI’s centenary celebrations held in Khammam town, Telangana, Raja recalled that the CPI was formed on December 26, 1925, at a time when India was under colonial rule.
Question: How do you assess the deeper socioeconomic forces that have driven people into the streets, and why do you disagree with the Iranian Government’s position that this is a foreign plot?
On Sunday 11 January, the annual march in memory and honour of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, leading figures of the German revolutionary movement and founders of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), took place in Berlin.
“The KKE condemns the provocative threats issued by the United States for a new imperialist military attack on Iran, jointly with the state of Israel, within the framework of the broader imperialist antagonisms, aiming to shape political developments in that country as well, in accordance with their own geopolitical interests. These threats come as a continuation of the imperialist intervention in Venezuela and the threats directed against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland.
Statement of the Tudeh Party of Iran
The decision to remove the party from the official register of political parties has now been formally communicated to the Communist Party of Poland, which issued the following statement condemning this ahistorical and reactionary ruling:
The widespread claim that recent imperialist bluntness, epitomized by the Trump doctrine, has “destroyed international law” rests on a false premise: that such a law ever existed as a binding, neutral framework above imperialism.
From a Marxist-Leninist standpoint, this belief is not an error of detail but a fundamental ideological illusion. Imperialism has never been restrained by international law. On the contrary, what is called “international law” has always been a secondary product of imperialist relations, tolerated only insofar as it served monopoly interests and discarded whenever it ceased to do so.
In a statement (read here in Turkish), the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), stresses out:
THIS IS THE PHOTO YOU CREATED — BE PROUD OF IT!
“The KKE categorically condemns the latest provocative threats by US imperialism against the people of Cuba and other peoples, emboldened by the imperialist intervention in Venezuela.
Down with the Imperialist boot in Venezuela and Latin America!
The undersigned Communist and Workers’ Parties strongly condemn the criminal bombings carried out by the United States against the city of Caracas and other areas of Venezuela in the early hours of 3 January. This military imperialist attack constitutes a serious violation of the sovereignty of an independent state and is directed against the interests of the people of Venezuela and other peoples of the region.
When U.S President Donald Trump openly threatens Cuba and Latin America—reviving the language of siege, punishment, and imperial entitlement—he is not improvising. He is speaking the native tongue of U.S. imperialism. What appears today as vulgar bravado is, in fact, the unfiltered expression of a system that has always treated the region as a backyard, its peoples as expendable, and sovereignty as a privilege granted only to obedient regimes.
The U.S. intervention in Venezuela constitutes the culmination of a months-long escalation of U.S. aggression against the country and, more broadly, across the entire “theatre” of Latin and Central America.
The intensifying U.S.–China rivalry for primacy within the international imperialist system, the strategic importance of Latin America as a trade corridor and repository of critical raw materials, as well as control over Venezuela as a country endowed with vast natural resources, are the real causes of the intervention—behind the pretexts of “combating drug trafficking” and “restoring democracy.”
President Donald Trump did not “go too far” in Venezuela. He acted exactly as the system that produced him demands.
Acting on the crude but deeply rooted imperialist doctrine that power itself is legitimacy, he authorized a military assault and proclaimed the “arrest” of Venezuela’s president — an act that, stripped of euphemisms, amounts to the kidnapping of a sitting head of state.
"Mitsotakis’ statement on the imperialist intervention of the United States in Venezuela is a cynical, vile, and disgraceful intervention for the Greek people, one that surpasses even Trump’s own statements.
Communist Workers' Platform USA (CWPUSA)
"In the early hours of 3 January, the United States escalated its aggression against Venezuela through bombings in Caracas and other cities and towns. This escalation is the culmination of years of political and economic warfare to strangle Venezuelan workers and people.
