In Santiago de Cuba, Adrián Silva Guerra squats over a crib. A headlamp hugs his temples, illuminating the cradle he is about to break apart. His three-year-old daughter slept here last night. But the family needs the wood to heat up their evening...
In recent times, US imperialism’s increasingly apparent decline and erratic behavior on the world stage has seen it losing wars and losing friends. As a result, its grip is also loosening over Southeast Asia, pushing many of its traditional allies to look elsewhere.
This statement was passed unanimously at the summer meeting of the leadership of the Revolutionary Communist International. We say: Defend the Cuban Revolution!
The private business actors who have emerged in recent years, and the networks through which they coordinate their thinking, have become a new political force in Cuba. This year marks a century since the birth of the historic leader of Cuban socialism, Fidel Castro; to paraphrase one of his sayings, it seems that his ideas are set to die in the year of his centenary. In fact, his phrase ‘change everything that needs to be changed’ has been hijacked by those driving Cuba’s transition to capitalism.
Recent reports have exposed Israel’s systematic torture and abuse of prisoners, primarily Palestinians, shedding light on depraved acts that have become “state doctrine.” The Israeli imperialists have defended and justified the abuse at every step.
American aggression against Cuba didn’t begin with the 1959 Revolution. In fact, it goes back as far as the founding fathers.
One of the few areas where the capitalists are rapidly adopting AI technology is in the repressive state apparatus—to aid in war, surveillance, and austerity.

Since the beginning of its failed war against Iran, the Trump administration has boasted about the massive destruction inflicted by US-Israeli strikes, proclaiming the decimation of Iran’s military over and over again.
If anyone thought that US imperialism’s embarrassment in Iran would deter it from its escalating campaign of aggression against the Cuban Revolution, they were very mistaken.
A Florida federal prosecutor has indicted the Cuban Revolution leader Raúl Castro with charges of conspiracy to kill US citizens and murder. This is a very dangerous escalation of the Trump-Rubio campaign to smash the Cuban Revolution and must be strongly repudiated by the working class movement internationally.
Israel is subjecting Lebanon to a campaign of “Gazafication”—systematically levelling villages, displacing populations, and targeting journalists and medical staff—under the pretext of “fighting Hezbollah.”
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.
