=== CivCraft 2.0 ===

At the beginning of 2.0, Comrade [[ZombieLenin]] would go to the +- and found the city of [[New Leningrad]].

[Early 2.0 History]

After the retirement of Comrade ZombieLenin, he appointed Comrade [[Romec]] to the role of Party leadership. However, Romec quickly developed a severe case of Obsidian Lung due to prolonged shifts in the obsidian mines serving the ZombieLeninist ideal. He was put into intensive care in the New Leningrad Hospital, and Party leadership was passed on to BolleDeBoll. Very soon after this, Romec broke quarantine from his hospital room and escaped to the Capitalist world due to serious neurodegenerative side-effects from Obsidian Lung.

BolleDeBoll led New Leningrad during the Olympics, admission to the [[North East Alliance|North Eastern Alliance]], the formation of the [[Eastern Bloc]], and the formation of the [[Federal Socialist Republics|Federal Socialist Republic]] along with [[Centauri]] and Montarnis.

During the era of the FSR, The Workers' Party was an official part of the National Soviet, with its Central Committee given a guaranteed seat.

Much of the core ideology of The Workers' Party was derived from the ideas of its founder, [[ZombieLenin]]. ZombieLenin (aka ZL) was a self-described Left-Communist<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1h9nnp/leninist_intro_and_qa_now_reintroducing_your/</ref> and Leninist<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1d8q8o/iama_zombielenin_leader_of_leningrad_buenos_aires/c9nzx03/</ref> who was the leader of TWP and the nations it controlled (most notably [[Leningrad]] on [[CivCraft 1.0]]) from the party's foundation in 2010 until stepping down as party chairman in August 2013.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Leningrad/comments/1kf0ug/im_afraid_ill_have_to_leave/</ref> ZL's ideology was anti-democratic, as he believed a political party (which may or may not be internally democratic) should lead the nation unilaterally, backed up by a paramilitary wing.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1p1x8m/moment_with_lenin_how_to_thrive_in_a_democratic/</ref> ZL believed workers should be included in the party as much as possible, even if they only held low-level positions, and they should always have jobs to do through means of public works projects.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/1mlvpp/i_can_leninism_and_so_can_you/</ref> Propaganda is also a major aspect of ZombieLeninism, as ZL himself was keen on making posters and art in order to boost worker morale.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Leningrad/comments/1i5ut2/requesting_posters/</ref>

Following his departure, TWP donned ZL the "Eternal ~~Glorious Leader~~" of the party, cementing his influence within the party regardless of his actual activity.

=== ~~Anarcho~~-~~Stalinism~~ ===

=== ZombieLeninism-Bolleshevism ===

The ~~ideology~~ of ~~Anarcho~~-~~Stalinism~~ can date its origins back to [[Maltovia]], which TWP founded on [[CivClassic 2.0]] in June 2018.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Maltovia/comments/a2u34l/about_the_republic/</ref> However, ~~Anarcho-Stalinism~~ really took shape when it was implemented by [[SandFalls]] as the system of governance of the [[Confederation of Socialist Augusta]] and subsequently the [[Confederation of Cities Communes and Protectorates]] in 2021. ~~The~~ oxymoron of the ideology describes its two-pronged approach to governance. On a day-to-day basis, governance is mostly ''anarchic'', with citizens living by means of mutual aid and free association and largely doing whatever they want with only basic regulation, regardless of their affiliation with the party itself. However, whenever there is an unresolvable dispute in regards to policy, foreign affairs, or between at least two citizens, the ~~party~~ steps in and rules unilaterally, hence the ''Stalinism''.

== Governance and Structure ==

Since the renaming of the USA to the CSA and even before, The Workers' Party has become very informal in its structure in governance, with no written text to determine hierarchy or roles. However, structure can still be observed, mainly on the CCCP/TWP discord and in what the ~~Premier~~, [[SandFalls]], says.
