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).

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.
