In a statement (here in Greek) on developments in Iran, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) notes:

“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.

Communist Workers’ Platform USA: In Response to ICE Murderers

When Renee Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood by ICE, the country responded in kind with strong mobilizations, uniting various organizations as conditions in the US continue to spiral. The CWPUSA was no different in this, mobilizing forces across locations. The Louisville Local Committee demonstrated at a protest in honor of Renee Nicole Good and against ICE's continued terror campaign on the working class.

 

The mythomaniac Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio, an American of Cuban descent and Secretary of State of the United States, has been characterized throughout his political career by a lack of ethics, corruption scandals, extreme mythomania, far-right positions, and his unhealthy obsession with overthrowing progressive and sovereign nations in Latin America, mainly Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, as well as the current governments of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

 

Under Imperialism, there is no “International Law”

By Nikos Mottas

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.

KKE: The EU-Mercosur Agreement serves monopolies, not farmers or food security

In a comment on the EU–Mercosur agreement, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) states the following:

“The approval of the ‘free trade’ agreement between the EU and the Mercosur countries by the New Democracy government constitutes yet another hostile act against small and struggling farmers, livestock breeders, beekeepers, and fishers—at a time when they are waging a heroic struggle at the roadblocks for their very survival.

 

The Communist Party of Turkey on the bloodbath in Syria's Aleppo: "This is what you created, it's yours!"

Aleppo has once again become the scene of a brutal bloodbath. Clashes between forces of the jihadist Syrian government and Kurdish fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have engulfed civilian neighborhoods, leaving destruction, displacement, and fear in their wake. 

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!

During his recent visit to Sweden, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), Dimitris Koutsoumbas, gave an in-depth interview to Riktpunkt, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP).

In the interview, conducted by Riktpunkt's Josef Brant, Koutsoumbas addresses a wide range of issues of international and domestic importance: developments within the Greek workers’ movement, the political role of KKE, imperialist war and militarization, the European Union, NATO, social democracy, fascism, and debates within the international communist movement.

 

The Farce Of the “Restoration of Democracy” in Venezuela

The absurdities used by the government to justify US imperialist intervention in Venezuela are endless. Government officials, without even blushing, claim that “anyone who disagrees with US actions is siding with the dictator Maduro”. 

 

Walking the same path as the representatives of the right-wing ruling party, New Democracy (ND), are figures from other bourgeois, social-democratic forces as well. For example, the former prime minister and former leader of the “left-wing” SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, in his statement on Venezuela, did not hesitate to adopt one of the pretexts of US intervention, that of “democracy”, remarking that it “is also being tested in Venezuela”.

 

Kazakhstan's President promises to... "end communism", attacks social rights

In a new anti-communist political statement this week, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kazakhstan, declared a sweeping overhaul of the country’s social benefits system and openly denounced the existence of broad, publicly funded social provisions as tantamount to... “victorious communism” that must end. 

In a televised address, Tokayev claimed that Kazakhstan’s free healthcare, wide range of benefits, and state social spending have provoked envy among neighboring states and led to “massive parasitism” by recipients of state support.

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.

15 Times Fidel Castro Blasted U.S Imperialism

By Nikos Mottas 

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.

U.S. intervention in Venezuela: A link in the chain of rivalries for primacy in the global imperialist system

Article published in "Rizospastis", Organ of the CC of the KKE, 5 January 2026: 

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.”

Donald Trump, Imperialism’s Gangster-in-Chief

By Nikos Mottas

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.

KKE: Mitsotakis’ statement on the US intervention in Venezuela is cynical, vile, and disgraceful

In a statement concerning the despicable comment of the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' concerning the U.S attack in Venezuela, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), stresses out the following:

"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.
