The KKE condemns the U.S provocative threats of a new imperialist military attack on Iran

In a statement (here in Greek) on developments in Iran, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) notes:

“The KKE condemns the provocative threats issued by the United States for a new imperialist military attack on Iran, jointly with the state of Israel, within the framework of the broader imperialist antagonisms, aiming to shape political developments in that country as well, in accordance with their own geopolitical interests. These threats come as a continuation of the imperialist intervention in Venezuela and the threats directed against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland.

Communist Workers’ Platform USA: In Response to ICE Murderers

When Renee Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood by ICE, the country responded in kind with strong mobilizations, uniting various organizations as conditions in the US continue to spiral. The CWPUSA was no different in this, mobilizing forces across locations. The Louisville Local Committee demonstrated at a protest in honor of Renee Nicole Good and against ICE's continued terror campaign on the working class.

 

The mythomaniac Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio, an American of Cuban descent and Secretary of State of the United States, has been characterized throughout his political career by a lack of ethics, corruption scandals, extreme mythomania, far-right positions, and his unhealthy obsession with overthrowing progressive and sovereign nations in Latin America, mainly Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, as well as the current governments of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

 

15 Times Fidel Castro Blasted U.S Imperialism

By Nikos Mottas 

When U.S President Donald Trump openly threatens Cuba and Latin America—reviving the language of siege, punishment, and imperial entitlement—he is not improvising. He is speaking the native tongue of U.S. imperialism. What appears today as vulgar bravado is, in fact, the unfiltered expression of a system that has always treated the region as a backyard, its peoples as expendable, and sovereignty as a privilege granted only to obedient regimes.

U.S. intervention in Venezuela: A link in the chain of rivalries for primacy in the global imperialist system

Article published in "Rizospastis", Organ of the CC of the KKE, 5 January 2026: 

The U.S. intervention in Venezuela constitutes the culmination of a months-long escalation of U.S. aggression against the country and, more broadly, across the entire “theatre” of Latin and Central America.

The intensifying U.S.–China rivalry for primacy within the international imperialist system, the strategic importance of Latin America as a trade corridor and repository of critical raw materials, as well as control over Venezuela as a country endowed with vast natural resources, are the real causes of the intervention—behind the pretexts of “combating drug trafficking” and “restoring democracy.”

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.

URGENT! US launches military strikes in Caracas: Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela

URGENT Statement by the  Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV): 

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected by the 16th National Congress, November 2022) denounces before the country and the international community that, since the early hours of January 3, the city of Caracas and other areas of the central region of the country have been subjected to bombardments carried out by military forces of the United States of America.

Communist Party of Venezuela condemns imperialist offensive and defends national sovereignty

Statement by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected by the 16th National Congress, Nov. 2022): 

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.

KKE: On the new National Security Strategy of the USA

On the new National Security Strategy of the USA

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.”

Oscar Figuera: A political proposal is needed that rejects foreign intervention and Maduro’s continuity

The General Secretary of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) Oscar Figuera argues that a political option different from those led by Nicolás Maduro, on the one hand, and María Corina Machado, on the other, must be built to give the country possibilities for development with respect for its sovereignty.

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.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) — elected at the 16th National Congress held in November 2022 — alerts the peoples of the world to the dangerous military escalation that U.S. imperialism is developing in the waters of the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, through an unprecedented deployment not seen in decades. 

KKE blasts Greek government's gas deals with Euro-Atlantic puppet Zelensky

In a statement (here in Greek) concerning the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Greece and his meeting with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday 16 November, the Press Office of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) stresses out: 

"The American dealers of the outrageously expensive LNG had barely left Greece when the buyer arrived — none other than the head of the reactionary and corrupt regime of Ukraine who, together with the USA–NATO–EU, has dragged his own people into the bloodbath with Russia that has lasted almost four years.

Communist Party of Greece condemns scenarios of US imperialist intervention in Venezuela and expresses internationalist solidarity with the Venezuelan people

PRESS OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREECE

In a statement on the threats of US imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE reports the following:

“The statements by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who announced the launch of a military operation in the Caribbean called Southern Spear, as well as the arrival of the largest US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, in the region, constitute a sharp escalation of imperialist aggression against Venezuela and other peoples in the region. The fight against drug trafficking is yet another flimsy pretext.

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.

We must defend Venezuela’s sovereignty against U.S Imperialism — But not excuse Maduro’s government

By Nikos Mottas

The renewed U.S. aggression against Venezuela cannot be understood in isolation. It is not simply an episode of Washington’s unilateral hostility against a disobedient government. Rather, it is part of the broader inter-imperialist struggle that defines our epoch — a world order increasingly marked by the fierce rivalry between the U.S.-led imperialist bloc and the rising powers of Russia and China. Venezuela, with its vast oil reserves and strategic position in Latin America, has become a focal point in this global contest for domination, resources, and influence.

The Forgotten Holocaust: 60 Years Since The Massacre of Indonesian Communists

By Nikos Mottas

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Indonesian massacres of 1965–66 — one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century, carried out under the banner of anti-communism. 

More than a million communists, workers, peasants, intellectuals, and their families were butchered, while countless others were jailed, tortured, or disappeared. 

Statement of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) on Trump-Erdogan meeting

In a statement concerning yesterday's meeting between Rejep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S President Donald Trump in Washington DC, the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) stresses out: 

OUR COUNTRY’S INTERESTS WILL NOT BE BEGGED FOR AT THE WHITE HOUSE GATE! 

The Erdoğan–Trump meeting in Washington is not a “step toward solutions.” It is the snapshot of a country pushed into a corner, standing at the edge of an abyss.
