Today at the @M_Star_Online Conference we stressed that Cuba is proof that another world is not only possible, but it is also being built, every day, by working people who refuse to accept the logic of empire. Revolutions are not events; they are processes. 🇨🇺

As I predicted yesterday Western governments are arriving in Munich to prosecute their own international civil war and make the Munich Security Conference into the Munich Insecurity Conference.

POLITICAL COMMITTEE STATEMENT

Communists say: Solidarity with Socialist Cuba is our priority

“Solidarity with the Cuban people’s revolution is our overriding priority”, International Secretary, Kevan Nelson told the Communist Party’s Political Committee on Wednesday 25 February 2026 as the Party prepares to host, ‘USA Imperialist Hands Off Cuba!’ (Thursday 26 Feb, 7pm https://t.co/MqLDatt1FR) with representatives of Cuba and the Cuba Solidarity Campaign.

Cuba’s economic and energy crisis is acute as the US tightens its oil embargo, and Cuba’s Health Minister recently warned the US blockade is putting lives at risk. Yet, in the past 24 hours both Canada and the Community of Caribbean nations (CARICOM) have pledged important material and political support to Cuba, Mr Nelson noted.

The immediate question facing all those who defend Cuban socialism against US imperialism is how we show unity and practical solidarity with Cuba’s government and people. The Communist Party calls to redouble support for Cuba Solidarity Campaign’s Cuba Vive! medical aid appeal, which recently reached £250,000.

Comrade Nelson noted that 2026 is already a year of crisis, imperialist intervention and political transition in Latin America as US imperialism seeks to establish indirect colonial rule in Venezuela. We demand the unconditional release of President Maduro and Cilia Flores from illegal US detention and *to* end US interference. US control over Venezuelan oil supply, distribution and commerce, summary termination of oil exports to Cuba and dismissal of Cuban medical brigades, supports the analysis of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV).

In Colombia, the Historic Pact party of Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, which includes the Communist Party of Colombia, is on course to win more seats in elections on 8 March and 31 May. Historic Pact Presidential candidate, Ivan Cepda is currently leading the polls for Colombia’s Presidential election. However, in Chile hard right populist, Jose Antonion Kast takes office as President on 11 March replacing Gabriel Boric.

The world’s most ignored war in Sudan has now lasted over 1,000 days and the humanitarian impact in terms of displacement, starvation and death is unsurpassed in any current international conflict. The Sudanese Communist Party is calling for an immediate cessation of the war and the unconditional opening of humanitarian corridors to create the conditions for a resolution of the national crisis without military participation in government.

The Communist Party reissued its call to "stop the war and start the peace” made when Russia’s Special Military Operation began in Ukraine on 22 February 2022. We welcome the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) call for "de-escalating the conflict and ending the bloodshed" in Europe’s long-running war.

A US-promoted peace plan in late 2025 raised hopes of a diplomatic solution between Russia, Ukraine, and the US and trilateral talks in Geneva continue next week. The fog of state censorship and propaganda from UK media seeks to obscure prospects for peace. Western European (NATO) powers have made strident calls for “total defeat of Russia”, increased funding and supply of weapons for Ukraine and indulged in fantasy talk of a “coalition of the willing”. Britain's political establishment and liberal elite are united in their fear of peace in Ukraine. What they fear more than war is the absence of war, which would undermine their attempted justification for enormous increases in military expenditure, said Mr Nelson.

In Iran, US military build-up threatens to derail negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program in Geneva. Communists oppose British participation or support for any US-led military action against Iran. Protests in Iran continue, notably in universities. Criticism of the Iranian regime and support for the democratic rights of the Iranian people and opposition to US military attack are not mutually exclusive.

#Cuba has thwarted an armed terrorist infiltration from Florida. A violating vessel opened fire on our Border Guards injuring one commander.
4 attackers neutralized, 6 detained. Assault rifles & explosives seized.
We will firmly defend our sovereignty.

Jan 27. The Red Army liberated the gates of Auschwitz. It was the Soviet soldier, the worker and peasant in uniform, who ended the industrialised slaughter of the camps. We reject the liberal memory industry that seeks to sanitise history and erase the political character of the Holocaust.

Fascism remains the ultimate weapon of capital, used to crush the organised working class and the marginalised.

We name the victims with clinical precision. The Jewish people, the primary targets of genocide. The Roma and Sinti in the Porajmos. The disabled murdered under Aktion T4. The homosexuals persecuted under Paragraph 175. The socialists and communists who were the first to disappear into the night and fog. The Jehovah's Witnesses and Black people.

With fascism once again on the rise across the West, the state’s performance of memory is a hollow hypocrisy. We do not seek a shared memory with a ruling class that maintains the same logic of exclusion and border violence today. We must ensure that Never Again is Never Again for everyone. We recognise that the struggle against fascism is inseparable from the struggle against the capitalist state that birthed it. We remember to fight. 🚩

This latest flip-flop from Labour in government reneging on day-one protection from unfair dismissal is a shameful betrayal of its 2024 election manifesto commitment. The trade unions and labour movement need to start again from scratch fighting for an Employment Rights Bill 2.0.

An object lesson for trade unionists on the damaging consequences of sectarianism.

@PCSLeftUnity call out the “Alliance for Change” trying to use a President correctly upholding PCS rules as an excuse for their own failings - they have no strategy to win.

As you listen to these two fawn, backslap and congratulate each other, it’s worth remembering that they want workers to turn against workers and communities to turn against communities.
It’s what buys them rockets and towers.
