The KKE conveys its militant greetings to the Communist Party and the people of Cuba on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the historic moment when the army of Cuban revolutionaries, led by Comandante Fidel Castro, overthrew the barbaric dictatorship of Batista and triumphantly entered Havana on 1 January 1959.
As 2026 begins, the world confirms what the communist movement has long understood: capitalism is not merely experiencing turbulence — it has reached the limits of what it can offer humanity. A system once celebrated for technological progress now turns innovation into surveillance and exploitation.
It multiplies wealth at the top while condemning the majority to insecurity. It transforms entire regions into war zones — not for freedom, but for markets, energy routes and geopolitical dominance. It even pushes the planet itself toward irreversible destruction in the name of quarterly profits.

Comrade Makhoul, who passed away Friday, December 26, at the age of 73, was a member of the politburo of the Communist Party of Israel and the director of the Emil Touma Center for Palestinian and Israeli Studies, former MK and a former General Secretary of the CPI.
On 26 December 1991, when the red flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time, the world did not merely witness the dissolution of a state. It witnessed the victory of counterrevolution—the temporary triumph of capitalism over the most advanced historical attempt to abolish exploitation and class rule. The fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was not the end of an experiment that had “failed,” as bourgeois ideology insists. It was one of the greatest tragedies in human history precisely because it interrupted a process that had transformed the lives of hundreds of millions and reshaped the global balance of class forces.
As 2025 draws to a close, a year marked by the worsening of the national crisis and the dangerous escalation of imperialist aggression, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected at the 16th National Congress in November 2022) addresses the working class, the Venezuelan people—both within and beyond our borders—and the revolutionary and democratic forces of the world to warn of the magnitude of the threats to our sovereignty and to reaffirm a principled position in the face of the projects that today dispute the destiny of the country.
As 2025 draws to a close, broad masses of popular forces in Greece have taken to the streets of struggle, waging battles of great significance. Poor farmers have set up roadblocks on central and regional roads across the country, fighting for survival against the monopolies, the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy, and government policies that are suffocating them.
No political figure of the twentieth century has been attacked with such persistence, intensity, and ideological unanimity as Joseph Stalin. From conservative anticommunism to liberal moralism and large parts of the so-called “democratic” left and various anti-Stalinist currents (Trotskyists, Eurocommunists, and related tendencies), hostility to Stalin functions as a shared point of convergence. This is not the result of historical curiosity or ethical sensitivity. It is a political necessity.
Stalin is targeted not primarily for what he did, but for what he represents: the most advanced historical challenge ever posed to capitalism and imperialism.
On the basis of our world view and our constitutional principles, the Communist Party is the Party of the working class, its conscious and organized ideological and political vanguard, its supreme form of organization.
It is a revolutionary organization of like-minded volunteers and fights for the overthrow of capitalism and the building of the socialist–communist society, in which all exploitation of man by man and all forms of private ownership of the means of production will be abolished and a higher standard of living and rights for the people, equality of opportunities and rights, all-round social progress will be guaranteed.
The recent statements by US President Donald Trump fully confirm the warnings made by the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV): Washington’s aggression against Venezuela and the Caribbean is not a response to a supposed fight against drug trafficking or the defense of democracy, but rather part of an imperialist offensive of recolonization aimed at appropriating our nation’s natural resources, territories, and strategic assets.
The Central Military Court of the Yekaterinburg District in Russia has concluded the trial of five members of a Marxist study group from the city of Ufa. The defendants had been officially designated as “terrorists” and “extremists” even before the trial began and were placed on the registry of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring).
Chile’s presidential election marks a clear political reversal. José Antonio Kast, a figure of the hard right, has been elected president, bringing the far right back to the country’s leadership just three years after the centre-left government of Gabriel Boric took office.
The result is not simply a conservative swing; it reflects a deeper political disappointment and a growing sense that the previous cycle of “progressive” governance failed to deliver real change.
The National Security Strategy of the USA, released last week, signals an intensification of competition and an escalation of wars across the globe, further fuelling the conflict with China for supremacy in the international imperialist system.
As the document states, “We want to recruit, train, equip, and field the world’s most powerful, lethal, and technologically advanced military to protect our interests,” as well as “We want to halt and reverse the ongoing damage that foreign actors inflict on the American economy.”
As a member of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), he says that respect for human, political, and social rights should not be sacrificed in the name of defending national sovereignty.
In recent days, a fresh wave of reactionary anti-communist agitation has swept through the Federal Republic of Germany. In the name of celebrating the 35th anniversary of capitalist German “unity,” representatives of the state apparatus are pushing to erase the names of Vladimir Lenin and other socialist heroes from public spaces.
At the center of this offensive stands Evelyn Zupke, the Federal Commissioner for the so-called "Victims of the SED (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands) Dictatorship".
