The International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP) is an annual conference attended by communist and workers' parties from several countries. It originated in 1998 when the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) invited communist and workers' parties to participate in an annual conference where parties could gather to share their experiences and issue a joint declaration. The most recent and 23rd meeting of the IMCWP is being held in October 2023 in Izmir and hosted by the Communist Party of Turkey (modern).
Organization
The Working Group (WG) of International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP) is composed of Communist Parties throughout the world. The task of the working group is to prepare and organize the International Meetings of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWPs).
The meetings are held annually, with participants from all around the globe. Additionally, there are occasionally extraordinary meetings such as the meeting in Damascus in September 2009 on "Solidarity with the heroic struggle of the Palestinian people and the other people in Middle East". In December 2009, the communist and workers' parties agreed to the creation of the International Communist Review, which is published annually in English and Spanish and has a website.

Amusing seeing Americans screaming and crying about “why won’t you condemn Hamas you need to condemn Hamas” when half this country can’t make up its mind if people who owned slaves and fought for their “right” to have them were in fact bad
I don't know what kind of magic it is, but it's definitely some kind of magic belief. Americans who have no influence over the government, no influence over Israel, no influence over Hamas, are demanding these vocal declarations of loyalty and piety as though "condemning Hamas" will magically make them lay down arms and accept slaughter. Idk exactly what social phenomena to call it, but it's definitely an in-group/out-group thing for ostracizing people with the wrong beliefs and crushing dissent. And it's not enough to just say "Yes Hamas is bad", because "why won't you condemn Hamas" implies accepting bullshit like the idea that Israel can justify torturing 2 million people over a few hundred hostages, accepting the implied or even outright stated belief that Palestinians aren't human and have no rights as such.
idk, it's disgusting nationalistic jingoistic bullshit.
Its fascism in a soft form. Any opposition opinions are being met with repression.
