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).

Theory:
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
