In solidarity with the KSCM: the EU will try to prohibit every successful Communist Party

Recently, the government of the Czech Republic decided again to criminalize communism with a law that forbids every support and apology of communism, material and mediatic. This is clearly a move with the aim to interdict the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM), a historical presence in Czech political arena, that has also had government responsibilities in the recent past.

The KSCM has been successful in the last European election with its coalition “STAČILO!” that put the emphasis on the sovereignty of the Czech Republic, also outside of the traditional left-right cleavage. This is dangerous for the Atlantist system that wants the european countries not to be independent and to obey to the diktat of the NATO and EU imperialism.

The KSCM is disturbing not because it is exhibiting an adherence to Marxism-Leninism, but because by remaining coherent to the Marxist-Leninist method it has been able to seize the contradiction of the moment and adapt its political and electoral action. Indeed, Western liberal democracy cannot tolerate parties that deviate from the imperialist agenda while knowing how to emerge from marginality and irrelevance and, instead, gain mass support even electorally. A Communist Party that does not renounce its identity and orient itself with mass influence against unipolarism is therefore in danger of being banned.

We, as the Communist Party (Switzerland), even if not surprised by the authoritarian turn of the governments of EU member countries, strongly condemn the anti-democratic attack against the KSCM and extend our solidarity. Facing this other serious case of anti-communist intimidation, we believe it is necessary to build a united front policy on the national level that roots itself among workers and peasants, including dialoguing with eurosceptic and anti-imperialist sectors that are not traditionally left-wing in order to impact society and organize resistance against the main enemy of this historical epoch we live in.
