​

The '''Initiative of Communist and Workers' Parties''' ('''INITIATIVE''') was a [[Communism|communist]] association in [[Europe]] primarily headed by the [[Communist Party of Greece]] (KKE). When the [[2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict|Russo-Ukrainian War]] began, it lead to disagreements within the organisation over whether [[Russian Federation|Russia]] was [[Imperialism|imperialist]] and thus whether the war was an inter-imperialist conflict. The disagreement concluded with the dissolution of the organisation and with the camp that believed Russia to be imperialist, headed by the KKE, establishing [[European Communist Action]] (ECA) as a continuation of INITIATIVE.<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=INITIATIVE|title=ON THE TERMINATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNIST INITIATIVE|date=2023-09-11|url=https://www.initiative-cwpe.org/en/news/ON-THE-TERMINATION-OF-THE-ACTIVITY-OF-THE-EUROPEAN-COMMUNIST-INITIATIVE/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002050941/https://www.initiative-cwpe.org/en/news/ON-THE-TERMINATION-OF-THE-ACTIVITY-OF-THE-EUROPEAN-COMMUNIST-INITIATIVE/|archive-date=2023-10-02}}</ref><ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=ECA|title=Founding Declaration of the European Communist Action|url=http://www.eurcomact.org/documents/founding-declaration/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240306142519/http://www.eurcomact.org/documents/founding-declaration/|archive-date=2024-03-06}}</ref>
