On July 16, during the U.S. State Department's Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most openly anti-communist speeches heard from a senior American official in years.
Speaking before representatives from more than sixty countries, Rubio declared that communism envisions "a world without courage, without creativity or ambition, without heroes or glory... without God." He went even further, portraying Marxist revolutionaries as ideological companions of terrorists and urging a renewed international campaign against what he called "far-left political terrorism."
In a statement, the NCPN denounced the attack as a despicable act, noting that the graves and monument were covered with "various abhorrent fascist slogans."
Addressing the event, Khaled Bakdash, member of the Central Committee and son of Ammar Bakdash, stated among other things: "To me, he was a father. But before and beyond that, he was a comrade who taught me—through his actions before his words—that communism is not merely a political affiliation, but a moral and human commitment to the workers, the peasants and all working people, to everyone who suffers injustice and exploitation."
"This year's grim anniversaries of the treacherous coup d'état and the Turkish invasion coincide with a period marked by increasingly dangerous developments surrounding the Cyprus issue.
The festival, held from 8 to 12 July, featured political debates, book presentations, concerts, theatrical performances, exhibitions, a popular kitchen, and other cultural initiatives, all with free admission and affordable prices.
The right to leisure and rest is a social right, just like the right to work, touching on issues of health, culture, and even sports. This right has been and continues to be the subject of class struggles for the physical and intellectual capacities of workers. The struggle for paid leave or for the reduction of working hours are just two examples.
For the Russian working class, however, the election meant something entirely different. It marked the decisive consolidation of the capitalist counter-revolution that had begun with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
In a message of heartfelt condolences, the SACP described Gerhardt as a "citizen of the world" whose revolutionary commitment, courage and internationalism made him one of the most remarkable figures in the South African liberation struggle.
In recent weeks, the Democratic
Socialists of America has claimed a handful of electoral “victories.” In
New York’s 7th and 13th Districts covering Queens, Brooklyn, and the
Bronx, candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated
the Democratic Party old guard in the primaries. In Colorado’s 1st
District, Melat Kiros unseated 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette.
These candidates have run on common platforms such as Medicare For All,
Abolish Ice, Ending War, Housing for All, and Unions for All.
As NATO leaders conclude their summit in Ankara, once again proclaiming their commitment to "security," "stability" and the so-called "defense of democracy," the peoples have every reason to reject the mythology surrounding an alliance whose history is inseparable from imperialist aggression, intervention and war.
Behind the carefully orchestrated communiqués, diplomatic handshakes and declarations of unity stands an organization created not to defend peace, but to defend the strategic interests of the dominant capitalist powers.
Stop the Repression Against TKP and Anti-NATO Protesters in Turkey
We, the undersigned Communist and Workers' Parties, strongly condemn the repression carried out by the Turkish authorities against the demonstration organized by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) in Ankara in protest of the NATO Summit.
Hundreds of TKP members gathered in central Ankara at the time and place previously announced by the party, despite extraordinary security measures that had effectively placed parts of the capital under a de facto state of emergency. As demonstrators marched toward Kızılay Square chanting anti-NATO and anti-imperialist slogans, police intervened and detained more than 100 participants.
The fireworks have faded. The speeches have ended. Once again, the American ruling class celebrated another Independence Day beneath the familiar banners of liberty, democracy and the "American Dream." Yet beneath the official anniversary lies another America—one that rarely appears in presidential speeches or television retrospectives.
There has always been more than one America.
This question was posed in an article published in late June and subsequently republished by several Greek mainstream media outlets. The author frames the issue as follows: "With the threat of a U.S. invasion hanging over Cuba, are these the final days of socialism on the island, or can Havana's recent reforms still save something from the wreckage?".
As the Irish government assumes the Presidency of the European Union from July our people will continue to be bombarded by over-exaggerated claims about the democratic nature of the EU and the extent of the Irish government influence on decisions, selling us the myth that we are at the heart of the EU power structures.
The summit will bring together communist and workers’ parties from NATO member states, along with representatives of the World Peace Council and the World Federation of Democratic Youth. The gathering is intended to express a united and uncompromising opposition to NATO’s latest plans.
