Wildfires in Greece: the Arsonist is the Ruling Class
The immense destruction caused by wildfires in Greece is not solely due to climate change. The reactionary policies and criminal indifference of the Greek ruling class played a key role in this catastrophe.
Greece: SYRIZA Wins Elections, But This is No Mandate For Austerity
SYRIZA won the elections Sunday, which Tsipras claims gives him a mandate to continue on the road he had already embarked on this summer, i.e., to apply the conditions dictated by the Troika. He, however, conveniently ignores the not unimportant detail that his government coalition (SYRIZA-ANEL) lost a total of 416,000 compared to the vote in January.

Greece: Mask of Credit Sharks Falls
The representatives of the creditors in their attempt to blackmail the Greek government have rejected the government’s attempts at compromise. The stance of these sharks is totally unacceptable to the working people of Greece and contradicts completely the program that SYRIZA stood on in the elections.
Greek Default Approaching—What Next?
A standoff is taking place between the Greek government and the country’s creditors that could end up with Greece defaulting on its debt, leaving the euro and even the EU itself. This would have very serious consequences both for the Greek people and the European and world economy. What is this leading to?
Varoufakis’s Mission “To Save European Capitalism From Itself”
Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek Finance Minister, presents himself as a Marxist—albeit an “erratic” one—and is even described as such in the bourgeois media. We would argue that he is a classic reformist who believes that a solution to the present crisis can be found within the capitalist system itself, something which Marx never stood for.
Greece: February 20 Agreement Slowly Unravelling
Despite all the concessions imposed on Greece by the Troika, the February 20 agreement with the Eurogroup has produced very little of any substance and is already starting to unravel. The deep crisis of Greek capitalism, combined with the stubbornness of the troika in humiliating the Greek government, leaves almost no room for maneuver.
The Communist: Voice of America’s Communist Generation
The Communist is the official newspaper of the party of the Revolutionary Communists of America. It is different from any other publication you’ll find in the US today. Behind this newspaper, there’s a vast network of communist activity from coast to coast. It is a tool for organizing in the streets, at protests and strikes, for building communist cells in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and campuses.
The RCA is on a mission to carry Bolshevism into the political arena of a country that’s ripe for it. Yes, we’re Bolsheviks living in the digital age, and we also use social media and our podcast to spread the communist program. But we’re not the kind of internet leftists who stay inside and “do politics” online. That’s why we need something we can carry with us into the streets and put into people’s hands. The physical paper is an instrument for building a real-life organization—a genuine Communist Party of fighters.
