Communist Workers' Platform USA: Statement on the results of the 2026 midterm elections

In a statement concerning the results of the US midterm elections, the Central Committee of the Communist Workers' Platform USA (CWPUSA) points out:

“The democratic petty bourgeois want better wages and security for the workers, and hope to achieve this by an extension of state employment and by welfare measures; in short, they hope to bribe the workers with a more or less disguised form of alms and to break their revolutionary strength by temporarily rendering their situation tolerable" - Marx, Abstract from the Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League, London 1850

 

Trump declares “Anti-Communism Week” as millions of Americans struggle with poverty and homelessness

For the second consecutive year, US President Donald Trump has mobilized the machinery of state-sponsored anti-communism, proclaiming November 1–7 “Anti-Communism Week” in another preposterous attempt to demonize communist ideas and defend the capitalist system.

In a presidential proclamation signed on Election Day, Trump urged Americans to stand firm against threats to the “American way of life” and protect the flame of freedom from what he described as the “darkness of communism.”

 

Delcy Rodríguez at the UN: The speech of capitulation

Editorial published in Tribuna Popular, Organ of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV):

Delcy Rodríguez’s speech before the 81st United Nations General Assembly deserves to be examined closely, not only for what she said, but for everything she left unsaid. 

Rodríguez avoided any direct reference to the US military intervention of January 3, which culminated in the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, presenting those events instead as “a painful ordeal” for Venezuela.

No, Trump: America Will Be a Communist Country!

By Nikos Mottas

“America will never be a communist country,” declares the 30-second advertisement now appearing on American television. Images of Donald Trump flash across the screen alongside boasts about tax cuts and economic performance, before the message arrives at its most revealing line: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” 

The White House calls it an “educational” public-service announcement; the administration says such spots simply encourage Americans to “love their country.”

If Communism Is Dead, Why Is Trump Still Fighting It?

By Nikos Mottas 

 

Donald Trump's latest anti-communist offensive once again invoked the familiar spectre of an alleged communist threat to the United States. Yet it is the occasion, rather than the speech itself, that reveals the real political purpose of his intervention. It was not provoked by the emergence of a revolutionary workers' movement, the growth of a mass Communist Party or a wave of socialist expropriations. 

 

Communist Party USA blasts Trump's anti-communist hysteria: “Our enemy is not God, it’s capitalism”

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) condemned President Trump’s latest red‑baiting tirade against the social democratic "Democratic Socialists of America" (DSA) primary victories in New York and of the District of Columbia mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George, calling it a dangerous escalation of anti‑communist hysteria. 

 

“MAGA is going to lose the midterms and Trump’s getting desperate,” co-chair Rossana Cambron said.  

 

War against Iran: Trump's whim or a link in the strategy of US imperialism?

By Eliseos Vagenas 

The critical developments in the Persian Gulf region, marked by the US and Israeli military attack against Iran , which began on February 28, cast their shadow over global developments.

Every bourgeois media outlet and analyst has grabbed a “daisy”, trying to guess “will Trump strike again, or will he not strike again”. Such an approach, however, leaves important aspects of imperialist plans far from our attention and cultivates the mistaken perception that the peoples are hostages of a personality (Trump), who may not stand firm in his logic. 

Religion as Weapon: Trump Escalates the Theocratic Offensive

By Nathan Richardson

The Republican embrace of Christian nationalism under Donald Trump was never about sincere faith or “traditional values.” It was (and remains) a calculated power play: religion deployed as a bourgeois ideological instrument to consolidate executive authority, divide the working class, and mask naked class war. And Trump has only sharpened this weapon. 

From Bay of Pigs to Speedboats: Trump Still Doesn’t Get It

There are moments when the class character of imperialist aggression reveals itself with brutal clarity. February 25, 2026, was one such moment. Cuban border guards intercepted a Florida-registered speedboat just one nautical mile off Cayo Falcones in Villa Clara province. The vessel carried ten armed Cuban exiles operating from U.S. soil. 

 

When the patrol approached to enforce sovereignty, the infiltrators opened fire. Cuban forces defended themselves, killing four − including at least one U.S. citizen − and wounding six. 

 

Communist and Workers' Parties of America denounce Trump's "Shield of the Americas Summit"

Joint Declaration of the Communist and Workers' Parties of America: With economic warfare, the people lose, the monopolies win!

The undersigned Communist and Workers' Parties declare their opposition to the Summit of Presidents convened by Donald Trump, called the "Shield of the Americas Summit," which aims to coordinate heads of state aligned with US foreign policy. 

Israeli communist MP warns: "Trump and Netanyahu risk dragging world into a ‘forever war'"

The world risks being dragged into “forever war” by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and only citizens standing up for peace can stop it, a Hadash MK warned yesterday. 

 

Knesset member Ofer Cassif of the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) told the Morning Star that the US-Israeli attack on Iran was based on lies — and was already a smokescreen for intensified violence and ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine.

 

KKE calls on Mitsotakis government to reject Trump’s “Peace Council” invitation

In a statement (here in Greek) regarding the invitation extended by Trump to the Greek government to participate in the so-called “Board of Peace” the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE stresses the following:

“The Greek government must, without hesitation, reject Trump’s invitation to the upcoming meeting of the so-called “Board of Peace”, whose aim is to implement the plan to turn Gaza into a US–Israeli protectorate and an “El Dorado”  for investments, in which there will be no place for the homeland of the long-suffering Palestinian people.

Communist Parties from across the world condemn U.S aggression and threats against Cuba

Communist and Worker's Parties from all over the world strongly condemn and denounce the shameful threats of the Trump administration towards Cuba as well as the tightening of the U.S. inhumane and genocidal blockade against the Island of the Revolution. Cuba Is Not Alone! Cuba No Está Sola!

Read below statements by various Communist and Workers' Parties:

Communist Party of Cuba blasts Trump government's threats: We are the country of Patria o Muerte!

In a statement, Roberto Morales Ojeda,  member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, stresses the following (read here in Spanish): 

"From the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), we firmly denounce the new Executive Order issued by President Trump, which seeks to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to Cuba in order to create greater hardships for our people and to obstruct the construction of our socialist model.

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”.

 

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.

Communist Parties from the US, Mexico and Canada denounce Trump's imperialist attack on Venezuela

Communist Parties from North America, including the United States, Canada and Mexico, have condemned the military attack of the U.S against Venezuela and the kidnapping of the country's President, Nicolas Maduro:

Communist Workers' Platform USA (CWPUSA)  

"In the early hours of 3 January, the United States escalated its aggression against Venezuela through bombings in Caracas and other cities and towns. This escalation is the culmination of years of political and economic warfare to strangle Venezuelan workers and people. 

KKE strongly condemns US military aggression on Venezuela: "The people of Venezuela will prevail!"

In a statement issued today, Saturday 3 January 2026, by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) regarding the U.S. attack on Venezuela, it states:

“The United States is shedding blood in Venezuela as well. The people of Venezuela will prevail!

The KKE unequivocally condemns the military attack launched at dawn by the United States against Venezuela and its people. 

Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela: No to imperialist occupation, no to internal capitulation!

In a statement, the 18th Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), held in Caracas on 21 December  2025, stresses out:

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.

President Trump, your unhistorical anti-communist crusade will fail — Socialism will triumph!

By Nikos Mottas 

On 7 November 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump proclaimed the week of 2–8 November as “Anti-Communism Week”, inviting the American people to “honor the victims of communism” and to remember the “devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies.”

But this proclamation is not a moral gesture — it is an ideological weapon. It revives the same Cold War rhetoric that once justified imperialist wars, fascist coups, and the persecution of workers, intellectuals, and freedom-fighters across the world. Behind Trump’s pompous words stands the oldest lie of the capitalist order: that communism, not capitalism, is the source of human suffering.
