CP of Greece, D. Koutsoumbas: The people will find a way out of this burning world by joining forces with the KKE “Developments speak for themselves and shatter the complacency you have fostered for so long, while confirming the persistent warnings of the KKE”, said Dimitris Koutsoumbas, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE, at the start of his speech in Parliament on 4 March. Addressing the Prime Minister, he refuted the propaganda that “as long as US forces are here, no one will bother us”, at a time when US bases across the region are coming under attack. D. Koutsoumbas also addressed those who try to disconnect the role of the bases from their very presence Greece, pointing out that it is precisely the governments and Euro-Atlantic parties that have supported their presence. “You are hypocrites and liars”, he said bluntly. He stressed that the bases must go, because the Greek people will not tolerate their country being turned into an aggressor against other peoples in order to enhance the position of the ruling class —that is, those who exploit their labour. The GS of the CC of the KKE highlighted the need to denounce the agreement granting infrastructure to the US and NATO forces, and called for the return of all Greek Armed Forces units stationed abroad.

Please, noI’ve got some good news and some bad news for you today. The bad news is, well, everything. As you may have noticed, the world is on fire. The good news, however, is that a savior may be at hand. Kamala Harris, a politician who has never won a presidential primary and lost the popular vote to Donald Trump in 2024, hasn’t ruled out running for president again. Harris has kept a fairly low profile since November 2024, focusing most of her energy on promoting 107 Days, her account of her truncated presidential run, and appearing as the guest of honour at the 2025 Australian Real Estate Conference. But she has also made it clear that she still has an eye on the White House: in an interview with the BBC last October, Harris said she was “not done” with politics and strongly suggested she might run for president again. Harris echoed these sentiments in a conversation with the podcaster Sharon McMahon last week. “I might,” she said when asked if she will run again. Harris has also dipped a foot back into politics recently. The former vice-president publicly backed Jasmine Crockett, who co-chaired her 2024 national presidential campaign, in the heated Texas Democratic Senate primary: her first time backing a Democrat ahead of a primary since 2024. If Harris was looking to this as a test of her political capital, she will have been disappointed: Crockett lost to James Talarico on Wednesday.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/05/kamala-harris-electionWhy They Hated Rosa LuxemburgSince 1998, Rosa Luxemburg’s name has slowly been crumbling to pieces. Back then, she was included on a huge monument in Barcelona’s Montjuïc hill alongside twenty-four other founding fathers of the European project. She thus figures alongside Willy Brandt and Winston Churchill: now the site has fallen into disrepair. Yet even the fact that she was ever included in such a memorial to contemporary European liberalism is a testament to just how far-reaching — and distorted — her memory has become. Since her murder in 1919, it sometimes feels like Rosa Luxemburg has become everything to everyone. Her unique status in German politics at the time means she is often praised for who she was — a “source of inspiration” as a Polish, Jewish, disabled woman — rather than engaged with for what she did and thought. At the same time, the sheer breadth of her engagement has allowed her to be adopted as a figurehead by everyone from anarchists to the Stalinists of the first postwar Polish government. Luxemburg’s most oft-recited quote, holding that “freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently,” has often helped make her a stand-in for a “libertarian” and soft version of socialism, an image sometimes bolstered by highlighting the more “feminine” parts of her private life. Surely, she was a sensitive woman and a wonderful writer. From her prison cell, she wrote movingly to friends and lovers, listened intently to birdsong, captured the beauty of the sky, and collected plants and flowers. But it’s also important to remember why Luxemburg was in prison in the first place — as a revolutionary and a threat to the stability of the German Empire. Luxemburg was a deeply contradictory figure: not least given that she was from Poland but against Polish independence. She was a woman who refused to be siloed into typically female domains of socialist politics; Jewish, but uninterested in focusing on “Jewish issues.” She criticized Vladimir Lenin, but from the perspective of a comrade who shared his core assumptions, and her own tactics as a leader in her own party rivalled or even surpassed Lenin’s in their ruthlessness. In her day, she was more likely to inspire awe, or anger, than admiration. On this anniversary of her birth, I want to highlight why “Red Rosa,” as she would come to be known, was in her own time more often called “Bloody Rosa” or even a “poisonous b-tch” or much worse. Rosa Luxemburg would want you to remember why they hated her, and why they killed her.
