Communists in capitalist countries have more meetings than their counterparts in socialist countries. This is because they have to man their party, their workplace and their local organisations and most of the times to participate in meetings of coalitions, fronts and initiatives with both general and specific purpose.
Plus the smaller their party or group is, the more meetings they have, in hours per capita per month. This is because they have to perform the same meetings with fewer people available.
I once was present in a conference of about 50 comrades who wanted to elect a 17-member council out of 19 candidates. The process ended up in a stalemate when two candidates ended up in the 17th place with the same number of votes.
