— U.S. tariffs were successful in the late 19th century. Capital accumulation was vigorous, and tariff protection helped develop domestic industries.
— The 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs certainly did not help when the boom of the 1920s had already collapsed into a deep depression. Capitalism cannot evade the law of the falling rate of profit; boom turns into bust.

To Our People,

The role of the ND government is exposed, as well as that of the social-democratic parties (PASOK, SYRIZA) and others who support the country’s involvement in the war.

KPD: Thoughts on the federal election
On February 23, 2025, the
early federal election is approaching—a vote taking place in a time
of growing social dissatisfaction and political polarization. People
are increasingly and justifiably discontent with the current
political landscape. But what are the real alternatives? How can we
use our vote meaningfully, and what can we expect from the parties on
the ballot?
No vote for the parties of capital!
On 23 February, the Bundestag will be elected in Germany. Once again, the bourgeois media are talking about a ‘fateful election’. It is said to be about nothing less than saving ‘democracy’.

different informal activities to contribute to the sustenance of his
home: he was a fruit and firewood seller, bottle collector, limekiln
maker….

began three years ago with the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues,
shedding the blood of two peoples who lived, fought and prospered
together under the USSR and who are now suffering under capitalism,
after the prevalence of the counter-revolution.
