The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, officially proclaimed November 2 to 8, 2025 as the Anticommunist Week in the United States, a date intended to remember the devastation caused by that ideology and to reaffirm the country's commitment to freedom and human rights.
"This week, our nation observes Anti-Communist Week, a solemn reminder of the devastation caused by one of the most destructive ideologies in history," the president stated in his proclamation published on November 7th on the official White House website.
In the document, Trump stated that communism “has brought devastation to nations and souls” and recalled that “more than 100 million lives have been taken by regimes that sought to erase faith, suppress freedom, and destroy hard-earned prosperity, violating the rights and dignity granted by God.”
The president emphasized that communism "has brought nothing but ruin" and denounced that, wherever it is imposed, it "silences dissent, punishes beliefs, and demands that generations bow to the power of the State instead of defending freedom."
Trump also warned that, more than three decades after the end of the Cold War, “new voices are repeating old lies, disguised with the language of social justice and democratic socialism,” but he insisted that the message remains the same: “give up your freedom, trust in the power of government, and exchange the promise of prosperity for the false comfort of control.”
"The United States rejects this malignant doctrine. We remain a nation founded on the eternal truth that freedom and opportunity are the inalienable rights of every person, and that no ideology, foreign or domestic, can extinguish them," the leader added.
At the end of the proclamation, Trump stated that the country "honors the victims of oppression by keeping their cause alive and ensuring that communism and any system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness finds its rightful place, once and for all, in the dustbin of history."
The Anticommunist Week 2025 was also announced by the White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, who posted on the social media platform X that “this week, our nation observes Anticommunist Week, a solemn reminder of the devastation caused by one of the most destructive ideologies in history,” quoting President Trump.
A coherent discourse with its offensive against socialism and communism
The proclamation comes just a few days after Trump called to “reject communism” during the America Business Forum (ABF) held in Miami, where he referred to the new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, as a “communist” and warned that “Miami will be a refuge for those fleeing the communist regime of New York,” according to his remarks at that event.
"The communists, Marxists, socialists, and globalists had their chance and delivered nothing but a disaster," said the leader during his speech, in which he also summarized the current political situation with the phrase: "The choice is communism or common sense."
In those statements, the president linked the election of Mamdani, associated with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, to a “loss of sovereignty” for the country and asserted that “the Democrats installed a communist as mayor,” while accusing the left of wanting to turn the United States into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”
With the proclamation of Anti-Communist Week, Trump reaffirms his offensive against communism and socialism both inside and outside the United States.
