The '''Socialist Unity Coalition coup d'état,''' also known as '''Operation Resurgo''', was a coup attempt that took place in [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] between 5 and 6 March 2023. It started in the UTC morning hours of 5 March 2023 when the [[Socialist Unity Coalition]], headed by [[Des23]], [[SandFalls]] and [[Red_Steel]], announced the completion of 'Operation Resurgo' which put a [[Socialist Unity Coalition]] junta into power<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/? https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/?]</ref> and started the process of reform within [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] in line with the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1536bC3PGR3akBuoSlHvbFyYEHRyQbAm_5W0ZolSCIpk/edit SUC Manifesto]. The SUC Manifesto imposed the expulsion of most of [[New Swisston]] and its citizens from Danzilona, annulled the concordat between [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] and the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]], introduced a new citizenship system, nationalized all infrastructure in [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] and introduced the position of Chairperson as an executive position. Despite initial success, the junta failed to secure the support of the Danzilonan public and was officially overthrown on 6 March 2023 after an announcement by [[Azelair]].

== Background ==

=== January 2023 reforms ===
January 2023 [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] saw a wave of reforms. On 9 January 2023 the nation voted in a referendum to replace its republican system of governance with a workers' cooperative system<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/107n3ez/results_repeal_of_article_3_and_renaming_of_the/</ref>. These cooperatives are open to the public, any citizen of [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] can join one, and each specializes in a specific portfolio. On the same day the nation voted to replace the old name of Federal Danzilonan Republic and started the process of choosing a new name.

The first iteration of the cooperative system was implemented 19 January 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/10gdwib/results_first_round_of_cooperatives/</ref> however it was immediately met with problems. First, the acting officers of the old republican government were inactive and no call to join the cooperatives was issued officially, second, [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] was thrown into a constitutional crisis over a referendum to change the nation's name. The 1st referendum on the name change on 23 January 2023 ended in a tie between the old name and the [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/10jj946/results_national_name_referendum/</ref>. A 2nd referendum was held on 28 January 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/10kcpfi/proposal_1_national_name_referendum_runoff/</ref> however its results were postponed until 4 February 2023 due to a legal challenge over the name change was moved by [[Lone22wolf]]. After the legal challenge was resolved in favor of holding an instant runoff on the name change referendum, the Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona became the official name of the nation on 4 February 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/10tmm4c/results_national_referendum_runoff/</ref>.

For most of the time between 19 January and 4 February 2023 the first iteration of the cooperative system showed little results and most of the cooperatives were empty or inactive. This prompted a proposal for a second iteration of cooperatives which were proposed on 14 February 2023 and were approved on 22 February 2023. The latter date marks the true beginning of the cooperative system in [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]].

=== Dissent in New Swisston ===
Since the original referendum on changing the national name and replacing the system of governance, most opposition to these reforms came from [[New Swisston]] and the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]] which holds a lot of influence in the territory. The leader of the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]], [[Lone22wolf]], publicly refused to join any cooperative citing [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona's]] descent into communism<ref>https://i.imgur.com/i3PbRdc</ref>. [[New Swisston]] also continued to use its institutions and private enterprises which often competed with Danzilonan cooperatives. DanzRail, a private company owned by [[Lone22wolf]], refused to give up ownership of the [[Colonial Express]] and [[OneDest/Tree|North Line]] to the Division for Infrastructural Assembly & Maintenance Over National Domain (DIAMOND)<ref>https://i.imgur.com/ybbbvj7</ref>, and the February 2023 Census of Danzilona was started by the Danzilonan Census Bureau<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11196gp/census_7th_census_of_the_free_danzilonan_republic/</ref>, another private company of Lone22wolf.

Following the official name change to [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|FWC Danzilona]], talks were started in [[New Swisston]] on a possible independence referendum<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DPNCCR/comments/10ts74v/discussion_first_swiss_indy_ref_debate/</ref> and a wider debate on federalization in Danzilona was also started by [[Lone22wolf]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1119yt7/discussion_danzilonan_reorganization_into/</ref>. Both of these proposals were perceived negatively in the wider Danzilonan public however garnered some support in [[New Swisston]] and [[New Melonwood]]<ref>https://i.imgur.com/Ubw6j0Q</ref>.

== Coup ==

=== Announcement and SUC manifesto ===
The [[Socialist Unity Coalition]] announced their takover alongside their manifesto in the morning UTC hours of 5 March 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/</ref>. The SUC claimed the goal of the junta was to unilaterally update, correct, or abolish archaic laws and policies holding [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] back from a brighter, more egalitarian future. The junta took control over namelayer perms and Discord roles and quickly started to cleanse them of individuals which were deemed reactionary. All infrastructure within [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] was nationalized with the exception of the [[Colonial Express]] which was under the control of DanzRail. A new 3-tier citizenship system was implemented which sorted citizens into different categories based on their activity. The SUC manifesto also introduced a new office to Danzilona - the Chairperson. The role of the Chairperson was to enforce decisions made by cooperatives and oversee their work.

The initial announcement from the Socialist Unity Coalition stated that these reforms were meant to stay in place indefinitely, however the continued existence of the junta was to be put to a vote on 1 May 2023.

=== Expulsion and partition of New Swisston ===
One of the biggest announcements by the [[Socialist Unity Coalition]] was that of the partition and expulsion of [[New Swisston]]. Under the SUC manifesto, [[New Swisston]] was to be given independence in its [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|FWC Danzilona]] borders with the exception of farms in the north, which were to remain part of Danzilona under the name North Swisston, and the ice farm to the east which was to be shared by [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] and [[New Swisston]]. With the expulsion of [[New Swisston]], the junta also announced the end of the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|Church of Ranubis Concordat]], a document which grants the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]] special status within [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] and regulates relations between them. Alongside the repeal of the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|CoR Concordat]], [[Lone22wolf]] was stripped of Danzilonan citizenship. The SUC claimed this was due to the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]]' history of harassing believers of other faiths, shooting down legislation and scheming to declare [[New Swisston]] independence.

[[New Swisston]] citizens were demoted in Danzilonan namelayer groups which led to individuals not being able to enter their buildings.

=== Anti-Junta movement ===

=== Fall of the SUC junta ===
