India elections: defeat the BJP with an indefinite general strike! Fight for socialist revolution!

Elections to India’s parliament are starting on 19 April. The reactionary BJP-led Modi government has been in power for two terms, in which time it has failed to meet any of its promises to the masses; it has sold swathes of public property to multinationals; stirred up chauvinist hatred towards minorities and women; and backed Israel’s war of slaughter in Gaza.

Hitno pismo aktivistima Komunističke partije Portugala

Objavljujemo otvoreno pismo naših portugalskih drugova (Colectivo Marxista) članovima Komunističke partije Portugala (PCP), nakon prijevremenih izbora 10. ožujka, na kojima je vladajući savez ljevice/lijevog centra poražen. PCP je sa 332.000 glasova u 2019. pao na povijesno najnižih 202.000 glasova. Portugalski drugovi izvlače neke zaključke iz ovih loših rezultata i nude dijalog članovima PCP-a o tome kako izgraditi snage portugalskog komunizma u budućnosti.
