The World Anti-Imperialist Platform (WAP) is a political organization formed in 2022, which describes itself as being opposed to American imperialism. The Platform's membership is mostly composed of Marxist-Leninist communist parties. The organization has been criticized by many communist parties and groups for ignoring Russian neo-imperialism[5] and Chinese imperialism.

WAP claims that the United States and NATO are imperialist powers and that Russia and China are not imperialist nor neocolonial powers. WAP supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine[2][6] and claim that the Russo-Ukrainian War is a proxy war against Russia by imperialist powers.[7][8][9] WAP's stance sets it apart from other parties in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP), which have characterized the war as inter-imperialist,[10]
