Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question about parliamentary elections in Moldova 29-09-2025

Posted by: John Phoenix Question: Moldova held parliamentary elections on September 28. The Moldovan Central Election Commission says the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity won. How does the Foreign Ministry assess the election outcomes? Maria Zakharova: The election campaign was assessed as unprecedentedly dirty and politicised in Moldova itself. It was marked by massive use by the authorities of administrative and coercive resources, all kinds of extra-legal mechanisms, blackmail, and threats. Political analysts describe it as a “theatre of the absurd,” a “cheap spectacle,” and an “operetta-like show.” To remain in power, the current regime effectively used barbaric medieval methods to intimidate its opponents; it removed competitors, shut down independent media, blo...

Comrade Léon Landini: A Century of Revolutionary Fire

Posted by: John Phoenix By the Communist Revolutionary Party of France The working class of the world has lost a titan. Comrade Léon Landini, the last survivor of the legendary Francs-Tireurs et Partisans de la Main-d’Oeuvre Immigrée (FTP-MOI) – the Immigrant Workforce Partisans of France – has fallen. His heart, which beat for nine decades with an unyielding revolutionary rhythm, finally stilled on September 21st. He passed peacefully, surrounded by his family, yet his passing leaves a tremendous gap in the ranks of the international communist movement. Landini was not merely a historical figure; he was a living thread connecting the battles of the 20th century to the urgent struggles of today. Born into a ‘red family’ of Italian anti-fascists, he was, as he said, ‘raise...

The geopolitics of Nepal’s 2025 Gen Z uprising

Posted by: John Phoenix Nepal has been shaken by its most dramatic political upheaval since the abolition of the monarchy in 2008. On September 16, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned amid nationwide unrest that left at least 22 people dead, including 19 protesters killed in clashes with police earlier in the week. It seems the immediate spark for the protests came on 4 September, when the Oli government announced the blocking of 26 social media platforms – including Facebook, Instagram and X (Twitter) – after the companies failed to register with Nepal’s Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. The authorities claimed this measure was necessary to ensure regulatory compliance and tax collection from the foreign tech giants. Thousands of Nepalis – particula...

Food and farming in Britain – the lamentable situation and how the market brought us here

Posted by: John Phoenix Britain has some of the best agricultural land in the world, so why is it that more than one third of the food consumed here is imported? The headline figure from a 2024 report issued by Defra (the Department for the Environment, Food, Rural and Agricultural affairs), is that only 62% of the food consumed here is actually grown here. This is the lowest it has been for some time, falling from 80% in 1945 (1). To understand what is driving this, and crucially how the political economy of capitalist agriculture has necessarily created such a situation, we first need to understand exactly what the figures represent. The 62% is a ‘production to supply ratio’ and there are two things to bear in mind. Firstly it uses the market prices of commodities, this means ...

Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review – Part 5

Posted by: John Phoenix Stalin’s pometki (annotations) Stalin was in the habit of writing in the margins of books he read, as well as underlining some sentences or paragraphs. Among his expressions of disapproval or disdain were expressions such as ‘haha’, ‘gibberish’, ‘nonsense’, ‘rubbish’, ‘fool’, ‘scumbag’, ‘scoundrel’, etc. He could also be effusive in his praise, writing ‘yes, yes’, ‘agreed’, ‘good’, ‘spot on’, ‘that’s right’. At times his annotations were full of the choicest abuse, such as ‘swine’, ‘liar’, ‘fool’. If he was sceptical about the text he simply marked it ‘m_da’ (meaning more or less ‘really?’). As is the case with Lenin, his most frequent annotation was NB in Latin or its Russian equivalent. Stalin’s pometki&n...

The wall of silence on the Gaza genocide is finally starting to crack

Posted by: John Phoenix Like thieves shunning the scene of their crime, media and politicians are suddenly scrambling to distance themselves from Israel. Proletarian writers With popular outrage continuing to grow, and the war to crush all middle-eastern resistance movements failing, the imperialists are desperately seeking a way out that might allow them to retain their regional domination – ideally by somehow keeping Israel itself alive. Editors’ note: Since this article was written, the imperialists have launched a criminal, unprovoked, aggressive war against Iran. In this context, there has been a rush to whitewash Israeli crimes, to bury once again the truth about the Gaza genocide, and to present the zionist leaders as rational and principled actors. How long this narrat...

Understanding the heroism of Yemen – Part 2

Posted by: John Phoenix Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting loss of foreign support, the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in the south, already deeply weakened following a violent civil conflict in 1986, voted for re-unification with the Yemeni Arab Republic in the north. This took place in 1990, creating a united Yemen (officially the Republic of Yemen) for the first time in more than 150 years, with the northern Yemeni leader Saleh becoming united Yemen’s first President and southern Yemeni leader Ali Salem al-Beidh as Vice-President. As part of the re-unification, rules on opposition political parties were eased and the first multi-party elections were scheduled to take place in 1993. As part of the move to combat the spread of Wahhabism, the Zay...

France – the epitome of capitalism in crisis

Posted by: John Phoenix As France’s political and economic crises deepen, the gulf between the people, their politicians, and the capitalist system itself widens exponentially. The trajectory toward collapse remains constant, yet the recent upheavals in France’s political system bring the looming inevitability of that collapse into sharp relief. Let us analyse recent events in France to understand how we arrived here — and the contradictions that expose the insoluble riddles facing the ruling class. Contradiction One: ‘Democracy’ — But only on their terms The roots of the latest French political crisis trace back to President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to call a snap election in June 2024. During his first term, beginning in 2017, Macron enjoyed a com...

The rise of Reform

By: John Phoenix Reform are currently heading opinion polls, with 28% of people indicating their intention to vote for Reform at the next General Election. Of course, the next General Election is not expected until 2029 and opinion polls are designed not as much to gauge opinions as to form them. It could also be argued that Reform’s ‘lead’ in the opinion polls has been manufactured alongside the fomenting of anti-immigrant sentiment to stoke division within the working class. That said, the party’s rise from its small beginnings as a party of resistance against the bureaucracy of the European Union to a potential party of government has been striking, but, given the parlous state of the ruling class’s preferred parties of rule – the Conservatives and Labour (in that order o...

Gaza – no peace without justice

Posted by: John Phoenix If two years of live-streamed genocide proves anything, it is that there can be no peace in the Middle East while the settler colonial state of Israel continues to exist. There can be no permanent peace in the Middle East while colonists continue not only to occupy stolen land but additionally continue to extend remorselessly their occupation to wider and wider areas at the expense of the homes and livelihoods of untold thousands of Palestinian families, left homeless and without means of subsistence. Suffice it to say that in 1993, at the time the Oslo Accords came into effect, which were, inter alia, intended to put a stop to further Israeli encroachment into the West Bank and Jerusalem, there were about 110,000 settlers in the West Bank and a...
