The Workers' Party, often abbreviated to TWP, is an organization founded on December 27th 2010 that has historically been mostly active in Mount Augusta and is now one of the most important structures of the CSA. With the creation of the charter of the Union of Socialist Augusta (later called Confederation of Socialist Augusta) and its later independence, the Party was not officially implicated in the governing of the territory of the USA but still had a large role to play in it, with many USA citizens being Party members, and the new CSA charter provided no change to the officiality of the Party in government. However, with the creation of the CCCP and its new charter in late 2021, the Party gained official powerful roles within the Confederation: namely that the Premier of the CCCP is the leader of TWP and the fact that only Party members may vote in CCCP-wide votes.

History

Founded on the 27th of December 2010 in the GoldenCreeper server at the same time as a country or city called Leningrad.

In the former country of Mount Augusta (Civ Classic)

In Civ Classic Mount Augusta, The Workers' Party took hold in the south of MtA through BolleDeBoll, where Little Leningrad now stands. However, with the foundation of Maltovia by the Party, their lands in MtA went abandoned until Renrits1 and his brothers built the Anti-Fascist Wall, which prompted the return of SandFalls to Augustan lands. The lands of the Party expanded and were developed. organized a large voting block to elect favorable Judges or Mayors.

Program

The Party's program consisted of five key ideas. The first of which, nationalization, was to be achieved through the office of the Mayor. The Party aimed to apply the phrase "from each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution" by making the government own all major industry. The second major idea was anti-imperialism, with the Party demanding that all Augustan imperialism stop immediately and indefinitely. The third idea, anti-nationalism, sought to denounce fascism and nationalism, which they qualified the National Union Party of. The fourth idea was worker unity; the Party sought to make all civ players of the working class to realize their potential and adhere to socialist ideals. The fifth and final main idea, vanguardism, stated that The Workers' Party was to be the vanguard of the upcoming revolution and the people, and that should they have been elected they would only act in the best interest of the people.

Structure

While operating in Mount Augusta, The Workers' Party followed a structure placing the First Secretary at its head, followed by the Central Committee. Members were either full Members or Sympathizers, who did not have the same rights as Members but were still recognized as apart of the party.

First Secretary

The First Secretary, also known as eternal party head, was the elected head of the party who was tasked with "the maintenance and management of the Central Committee to which it is responsible to". The First Secretary could be recalled through 3/4ths vote of the entire Party membership.

Central Committee

The Central Committee was the central organ of The Workers' Party, tasked with aiding in "running and organizing the day-to-day work of the Party". Appointed by the First Secretary when they get elected, the Central Committee passed amendments resolutions proposed by either a full member of a member of the Central Committee with a 2/3rds vote. If a proposed amendment or resolution failed in the Central Committee vote, it would be voted on by all full Party members, where it could pass with a simple majority. Members of the Central Committee could be dismissed at will by the First Secretary.

Membership

All those who had voting rights in MtA, who were in agreement with the Party and who wished to participate actively in the Party were eligible to become Party members. Upon joining, members were placed in a probation period in which they were not permitted to vote on intra-party resolutions and proposals but were still expected to vote with the Party in national elections. There was no set time for this probation period as the Central Committee decided when probationary members became full members.

"Sympathizers" were people who were in agreement with the Party but did not wish to commit to Party membership. Sympathizers could not vote within the Party and did not have the same rights as full members but were officially recognized as Party members.

Voting Procedure

Unless decided otherwise by the Central Committee, all full members voted in party-wide votes to elect the "candidate the Party endorses". The election was cut up into two stages. The first stage, lasting 48 hours and known as the nomination period, is the stage in which full members may declare their candidacy and discuss relevant issues. The second stage, also lasting 48 hours, known as the election period, is when full members may vote for a candidate.
