Is the murder of a capitalist an "act of revolution"? Does the workers' movement, the working class in general, gain anything if someone places a bomb in the headquarters of a multinational company? Practically speaking, who benefits from individual acts of terrorism?
The so-called "left-wing terrorism," that is, individual terrorism with a "leftist," "revolutionary" ideological and political guise, has its roots in various anarchist trends of the 19th century.
The International Class-oriented Trade Union Movement, the workers, and the militant unions all over the globe honor with struggles the 139th anniversary of the workers’ struggle in Chicago in 1886.

Introduction
The communist movement in the US is in a dire state. The working class in the US finds itself without a genuine Communist Party, as the historical Party has mutated into, at best, a social-democratic mass organization.
On April 25th, 1945, the National Liberation Committee for Northern Italy (CLNAI) declared a general uprising in all territories still occupied by fascist forces. The partisan troops, with the communists at the forefront, liberated the main cities of Northern Italy and put an end to more than twenty years of fascist oppression. Eighty years after those events, the Communist Front of Italy, with the support of the Front of Communist Youth, is launching a popular mobilization for April 25th, reviving the slogan "Partisans for Peace" against imperialist war and historical revisionism regarding Italy's war of liberation.
Enver Halil Hoxha was born on 16 October 1908 in Gjirokastër. He graduated from the lycée in Korçë in 1930 and then studied at the University of Montpellier in France. He was a school teacher at the French lycée in Korcë until the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939, whereupon he was dismissed for refusing to join the newly-formed Albanian Fascist Party. Hoxha then opened a tobacco shop in Tiranë, which, in time, became the center for a communist cell.
The fairy tales about a "peaceful" redistribution of the world, which flared up with Trump's election, the bargaining over Ukraine, and the ceasefire in the Middle East, have collapsed with a blast. Those who try to whitewash the imperialists with such lies and hide their irreconcilable rivalries under the carpet are shamelessly provoking the people.
His assassination permanently deprived his wife, Comrade Limpho, of a husband, and their children of a father. It robbed his entire family of a brother and an uncle, and the community and nation of a leader.
It is impossible for the discussions on “”Who’s part of the boycott, why are they included, and who’s in and who’s out of its scope?” not to shift towards “where does the capital start, where it ends”.
More specifically, the KKE statement (here in Greek) reads:
"With the EU Commission being the initiator of a debate-parade of anti-communists in the plenary of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the EU is working on another anti-communist and unhistorical 'day of remembrance' under the name of 'European Day of Righteous'.
The Secretariat of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), in an extraordinary Meeting held on March 27, 2025, examined the recent public statements issued in the name of the WFTU Middle East Regional Office, as well as the statements made by the GFTU of Syria.
These statements support the jihadist regime, which is the result of the interventions of the imperialist powers that want to seize the wealth of the region.
On April 3, 1962, the leader of the Party of Labour of Albania, Enver Hoxha, called China to publicly denounce what he refereed to as "Khrushchevite revisionism". It is reminded that Socialist Albania's relations with the Soviet Union had been ruptured since December 1961, following Hoxha's fierce critique against Khrushchev's "revisionism" and "anti-marxism".Enver Hoxha's 1962 statement was the following:
"AKEL honors the heroism and struggle of the children of Cyprus who fought against the British colonial yoke and gave their lives on the battlefields, in torture and on the scaffold, for the freedom and self-determination of our homeland.
"From
the Asturias Committee of the PCTE, we would like to express our

support and encouragement to the four colleagues who are hospitalized
with varying prognoses.

The European Communist Action condemns the brutal repression and mass arrests of demonstrators, journalists, etc., including members and cadres of the Communist Party of Turkey, who oppose the unacceptable actions of the Turkish state in relation to arresting and removing from office the elected mayors in Istanbul, which means violation of right to vote and to be elected. These choices are in service to the political interests of the ruling AKP government and highlight its blatant disregard for any and all democratic processes.
Earlier this month, on March 8, the discovery of a suspected training and extermination camp for a drug cartel has sparked outrage across Mexico.

This Spring Statement confirms Labour’s aim to be the war-mongering party of the military-industrial complex.
Today, as we mark 26 years since the brutal NATO aggression against the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, we stand united in condemning the imperialist rampage that brought devastation to our homeland. The scale of the bombing was immense—cities were reduced to rubble, countless civilians lost their lives, and the destruction of vital infrastructure continues to affect the health of our people and the environment even today.
"Today's topic, “Two years since the mass strikes in France, conclusions and prospects for the European workers' movement”, is a particularly important one for the French working class, not only because of the intensity of the struggle in 2023, but also because of its length, the mass movements of two years ago being the peak of a long-term battle.
"The KKE denounces the decision of the Turkish state and AKP government to arrest the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, and to remove him from his office, the suppression of the demonstrations and the mass arrests of demonstrators, including members of the Communist Party (TKP) and the Communist Youth of Turkey, as well as journalists.
It is thus reinforcing the war economy strategy and armaments of the previous period, escalating its involvement in the imperialist war in Ukraine. Its aim is to play a leading role on the Ukrainian front in conditions of heightened Euro-Atlantic antagonisms and US-Russian bargaining.
“The drumbeats about a ceasefire in the 3-year imperialist war in Ukraine, between the US, NATO, EU and capitalist Russia, cannot overshadow the real facts and the painful reality of the continuation of the war that tortures the peoples of Ukraine and Russia, as well as the dangers for other peoples.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said prosecutors issued detention warrants for the mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, and some 100 other people. Among those detained was Imamoglu’s close aide, Murat Ongun.
The conference, organised two years after the major workers' mobilisations in France, which shook the country and the whole of Europe, aims to exchange the views and experiences of the CPs of ECA the on the workers' movement in Europe.
The key to a capitalist economy is the state of its capital accumulation. That goes for understanding tariffs in particular.
— 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.
Two mass graves containing the remains of executed communists from the 1946-49 Civil War have been discovered in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city.
The graves were uncovered during redevelopment work close to the national resistance memorial, thus increasing the total of such sites in the area to six. The location of the graves indicates that it was likely used for the execution of political prisoners due to its proximity to the notorious Yedi Kule prison.
1. Three years after the escalation of the war in Ukraine between the Russian Federation and the US-EU-NATO Euro-Atlantic alliance, the conditions under which peace talks or cease-fire negotiations are presented once again demonstrate that this war has nothing to do with the “defense of European values” and democratic freedoms, nor with the alleged “anti-fascist” values that are instrumentally invoked by both factions.
A new report by a research group at Columbia University and Robin Hood, an anti-poverty group, reveals a brutal reality: One in four New Yorkers lives in extreme poverty. This means that the city's poverty rate is nearly double the national average.

On 11 March 2025, the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) held a picket outside the Embassy of Ukraine in Athens, while a delegation of the KKE and KNE affixed a letter of protest to its door.

"The KKE condemns the heinous crimes in Syria by the jihadist regime, which was imposed with the intervention of the states of Turkey and Israel and with the support of the US and the EU.
Working-class women live in a world of exploitation and inequality, expropriated labour, low wages and precarious and socially devalued work. They face, poverty, discrimination, harassment, problems in accessing healthcare, and are forced to confront the harsh consequences of repeated attacks on social security protections and the absence of free proper childcare facilities.
“One of the things you told the people to justify our country’s involvement in the war in Ukraine in the role of a NATO stooge was that we are supposedly on the 'right side of history'. Among other things, this involvement has hit the pockets of our people, especially due to high energy bills.
— Greek newspapers Dimokratia and Ta Nea claimed that US President Donald Trump has decided to close the alleged US base in Alexandroupoli, Greece. However, US officials issued a statement on the allegations, saying that “the US does not have a base in Alexandroupoli, it is a Greek facility to which the US has access under the Mutual Defense Cooperation Treaty.” What is your assessment of these discussions?

To Our People,
The article goes on to say that “The US-NATO-EU propaganda in defence of ‘democracy’ and ‘Western values’ is collapsing like a house of cards.

The positions of the KKE are confirmed”.
