International Movement for Socialism

The International Movement for Socialism (IMS) is an international congress of communist and socialist parties. Member parties of the IMS espouse ideologies ranging from to.

The objective of the IMS is to further cooperation between leftist parties in Anterra and to defend the continued existence of leftist ideals internationally. The IMS advocates for a continued international struggle against capitalism by any and all means necessary for the creation of an international "world-socialist" order.

The IMS was founded in 1954 by the allied nations of Goetia and the URSA and a later third addition in Cervera, in an attempt to further international cooperation between socialist parties and extend their influence globally. Many parties joined the movement through the 20th century until the present day, with many of said parties gaining control over their respective nations through revolution with the support of IMS member nations. Many experts consider the IMS to function de-facto as a military and economic alliance due to the organization's goals of supporting international socialist integration and unity and the fact many member parties hold direct or partial control over their respective states.

The movement organizes an international party congress every 4 years where all member and observer parties are invited to participate or observe respectively. The goal of the congress is to discuss ideological matters, solve inter-party disputes and push for political action. The host nation of each congress rotates between member parties in government, with the last congress being held in Veikaia.

While the IMS allows membership to a wide array of leftist ideologies, it forbids membership by political parties.
