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.
The 23rd International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties
The 23rd International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties (IMCWP) begins today in Izmir, Turkey, hosted by the country's Communist Party (TKP).
The Meeting is held between 20-22 October, under the following subject: "The political and ideological battles to confront capitalists and imperialism. The tasks of communists to inform and mobilize the working class, youth, women, and intellectuals in the struggle against exploitation, oppression, imperialist lies and historical revisionism; for the social and democratic rights of workers and peoples; against militarism and war, for peace and socialism."

Learning about the risks of antibiotics resistance and how the meat industry literally just puts animals on a 24/7 diet of antibiotics so they don't have to fix harmful and unhygienic conditions is such a deranged experience.
Like what the fuck are these freaks doing they are literally making a farm for bacteria that will survive everything, in any reasonable world they'd be shot for doing this shit, you're making biological weapons.
Pretty insane, huh? Without a shakeup (death to capitalism) there's a good chance the age of antibiotics will only end up being ~150 years, if it lasts that long.
Yeah they keep telling us for these courses that the disinfection and sterilizing work we'll be doing is the best defense we have against antibiotic resistance, but I cant really feel like thats true when like theres just the US over there refusing to implement any kind of federal regulations or bans on this from what I could tell.
Edit: Also speaking of the US, apparently there are some hospitals where they treat the washing and sterilizing of surgical equipment like a dishwashing job, so people just get hired with no training or experience and then they don't know how to properly do stuff, like they put cameras inside of suction equipment and the inside just was never washed because they decided to penny pinch on basic fundamental safety hygiene work, and the people put to work had no idea how to do it properly.
capitalism will kill us all, socialism or barbarism. We could just mitigate the effects by reducing the meat industry to a healthy amount and letting the animals actually roam around and eat healthy food. BUT MUH PROFIT LINE GO UP
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.
Idk exactly what social phenomena to call it
Its fascism in a soft form. Any opposition opinions are being met with repression.
Under communism there will be only three detectives and they will be these three guys:
sooooooo my shitty roommate's phone passcode (she told me) is "1-4-8-8". i asked her if she knew what that meant and she got really flustered and changed the conversation. she's sucked up hard with the landlord, too, so i can't easily get her evicted.
what I would like Hexbear to do, is allow me to borrow the energy of the group-spirit temporarily to get rid of this freak
i know we absolutely don't gotta hands it to him but twitter is literally unusable at this point, i just get errors and crashes
when im in a wasting storage space competition and a western game dev steps in
I used my adblocker to block Youtube's "YOU CANT USE AN ADBLOCKER ANYMORE!!!" popup, and while I cant scroll down any page with a video anymore, I still get to watch the videos without seeing ads. Im winning.
It's super cool how google destroyed the internet with soe and shit, and now that there's no where else left to go they're cranky that we don't want to watch the commercials they destroyed the internet to force us to watch.
I love being forced to watch two 15 second ads before i get to see the 5 second meme clip that popped up on my feed. thats really cool google thank you.
I will literally spend more time manually blocking an ad on my phone than i would have spent just watching it out of pure spite. I fucking hate ads so much.
Advertising is a crime. It just flat is. Trying to seize control of someone's attention and change their thoughts and beliefs when they're just moving through the world isn't meaningfully different from shoving someone.
It is! I can't stand being in the same room as cable TV and seeing all the ads on normal people's internet is repulsive. But they're totally unconcerned about it! I know part of it is me being ADHD and not being able to ignore ads that are designed to steal your attention but I just cannot fathom why people are so blaise about enduring all the lies and manipulation all the time.
I've been using NewPipe on my phone for a while now to avoid ads. Since the introduction of the ad modals on YouTube, I started experimenting with using FreeTube on my computer. It doesn't have real playlists yet, but almost everything else about the experience has been better than YouTube.
YouTube is a slow, poorly optimized, bloated mess and nothing makes this more clear than viewing the exact same content on an open source, free alternative.
Mental illness is like inverse warfare. Long periods of terror punctuated by moments of intense boredom. I want to go to bed but i slept all day bc i was up all last night with nightmares and The Fear.
you can also just log out of youtube and block their cookies and your adblocker will work
This is a legit theory explaining the proliferation of Nation States and why they ultimately crushed or marginalized all other forms of large scale societal organization. A nation-state is a very effective weapon, and to date the only technology capable of fighting against nation-states is the nation-state.
It's really funny to think about how Call of Duty has become a series where they lean fully into games as a service and have basically an indefinite life cycle of each game in mind now but also STILL release a new one every year. Simultaneously one foot in the present and one foot in the past
Yeah JSS was pointing out ages ago how weird it was that ActiBliz and Ubi were wanting to have their cake and eat it too with live service shit.
I'm playing it right now and I hate it. The game is a buggy, ugly, inelegant, staggeringly and inventively badly designed pile of shit, and Acti wants me to pay 70$ for them to slap a "III" on the end of it?
The treat piggies will still pay up. I see countless AAA games reaching Steam's top seller list even when the reviews are like 90% negative
I was shocked to learn that after several years of declining sales the COD that was released last year broke sales records for the series
