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.

    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
