Socialism in Eldham

The history of the socialist and communist movements in Eldham spans a variety of ideological forms and has seen success since the beginning of Eldham's discovery by Rathnirian nations. Dominate Eldhamite socialist and communist ideologies include Xeroism, Unitism, Tulipanist Socialism, Urabonism, Anarcho-Communism, and more.
== Genesis Period (Late May, 2021) ==
==== Rathnirian Influence ====
Socialism and communism alike saw their starts on Rathnir. The nations of the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic and Braznichiya alike both embraced the ideology and with additional spread and influence by the communists in Tortuga during the Red Turban Rebellion and in Carvay during the December Revolution, communism had begun to take a stable place within the world. This did not stop hatred of the ideology though, and many attempts were made on the international stage to stop these movements, many of these having had succeeded and communist revolutions and parties being forcefully dissolved.
Out of the socialist movements in Rathnir that came and went, the only major nation to adopt socialism and survive for a long period of time would infact be the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic (UBSR) and their influence would be the dominate arbiter of socialism's fate in the future of Eldham.
Prior to Eldham's discovery by Rathnir, the Sérotat Kingdom was undergoing a massive civil war in Eastern Serrona, many of these nations revolutionaries advocating for democracy and the overthrow of the reigning olitéx idé, or kingdom. This had been unprecedented in pre-Rathnir Eldham which was dominated by warlords, small kingdoms, and feudal systems. Upon the discovery of Eldham by Rathnir, there was an abundance of literary and ideological texts that began to greatly influence people across the world. While many of these included an ideological shift towards democracies and capitalist or bandit systems, the revolutionaries in the Sérotat Kingdom began to adopt the communist ideology preached of in the UBSR and Braznichiya. In fact, the soon-to-be first President of the USSE, Aboniert Ormnidus, who at this time had been a revolutionary in the civil war travelled to the UBSR where he became educated on socialist theories and brought them back to the Sérotat where he began to advocate for communism to the anti-imperialist revolutionaries in the nation. The Communist Party of Sérotat (later the Communist Party of the United Socialist States of Eldham) had been formed, and the war continued to rage until the overthrow of the Sérotat Kingdom which was then promptly replaced by the United Socialist States of Eldham.
==== Early United Socialist States of Eldham & Aboniertism ====
The United Socialist States of Eldham would be the first socialist nation on Eldham, and for an extended period of time, the only one. The early USSE had been dominated by an ideology now known as Aboniertism that had been preached by Aboniert Ormnidus after his studies in the UBSR in Rathnir. He endorsed the so-called "emancipation" of people from the dehumanization caused by mechanistic capitalist or feudal work that he considered to be alienating as it did not appeal to one's own interests nor did it allow the worker to reap the benefits of their labor. He believed in the enterprise socialist centrally planned economies and extensively endorsed collectivism in the early USSE. The most notable of Aboniert Ormnidus' policies was communist expansionism, he believed that it was the purpose of the USSE to spread the communist revolution and ideology abroad and that without the labor of the USSE and the expansion of the socialist experiment, Eldham would be swamped by colonial powers.
==== Anti-Colonialism on Eldham ====
During the times of early Eldham, anti-colonialist sentiment was incredibly prevalent and this both influenced socialist ideology on Eldham and shaped socialist nations such as the USSE which adorned isolationist policies to restrict the access of colonial powers to the nation.
== Period of Emergence (Early June, 2021) ==
==== Procedural Growth in the United Socialist States of Eldham ====
While the Period of Emergence ultimately was more or less a continuation of the Genesis Period minus lag and frequent server kicks, this period did prove important to socialists in the USSE as the nation has begun to slowly expand and had ballooned in population.
== Coalitional Period (Late June & Early July, 2021) ==
==== Communism in the Former Ellysian Empire ====
During the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, the Ellysian Empire had been dissolved by the Regnum Drakae's Edict. This, amongst other things, gave the United Socialist States of Eldham control of a large section of the nation that was mostly unpopulated called "Zone Three". During this time, the USSE would found three nations in the area including Garxijos Yawos, Cognia, and the Coalition of Anarchist Communes which expanded the spread of socialism to the far North of Eldham.

==== Establishment of the Worker's Party of Azcoria ====
Following the failure of the Azcorian Reformist Party's (ARP) bid for Chancellor elections, the socialist wing of the party, led by Gunk, formed the Worker's Party of Azcoria. The party's first action was running in the first Parliamentary elections of Nova Azcoria, with Gunk being the WPA's only candidate. Due to the radical nature of the party, and Gunk's ties to the ARP, the WPA lost the election and gained no seats. The only leftist politicians in Parliament being a handful of Independent Candidates, such as Peter Krop. 
After this, and after talks with both the New Bai Communist Party and Communist Party of the USSE, the Laria Pact was formed. A coalition between various leftist parties in Eldham, with it's members primarily being in Serrona. The WPA, in the interim period, also ran a fundraiser for UBSR Resistance against Frosterium. 
In the second parliamentary elections, the WPA, with both Gunk and Sashait running representing the party, won two seats. Despite having small amounts of voting power, 9 votes in total, the WPA was able to pass a variety of legislation, including a Bill of Rights. However, many of the bills proposed by the WPA, such as the Social and Labour Regulations Bill were struck down by the Neoliberal wing of the DPP. Causing the already tense relationship between the DPP and WPA to become much more antagonistic. Only getting better after the DPP's Coalition with the AFA and the appointment of both Fio and Gunk as Ministers of Economy and Culture respectively.
==== Development of Unitist Socialism ====
Following the rise of the WPA in Nova Azcoria, and the SELWA Riots at NAZGAS, Gunk, a Nova Azcorian socialist, wrote The Manifesto of Socialismo Unitista. The Manifesto, basing many of it's ideas on the aforementioned SELWA riots, and the AIM that helped get Nova Azcoria it's independence, has stayed largely within Serrona. With copies being sold in Azcorian markets, and an edition being displayed in the Manzig National Library. This is with the exception of the Reformist Party of the Vostok Republika, which adopted Unitism prior to their senatorial elections. Said Manifesto outlined the principles of Unitist Socialism, or Socialismo Unitista in Azcorian. Upon the ideology's adoption the WPA grew in popularity, something that, while not entirely caused by Unitism, was definitely a part of it's spread.

==== Unitist Socialism ====
Full article: Unitist Socialism
Unitist Socialism is based on 5 principles, with Unitist groups and supporters also regularly supporting things like Internationalism and Self-Determination. The aforementioned principles are as follows:
* Decentralised Anti-Capitalism. Preferring to use a large variety of groups and organisations to achieve liberation, Unitism believes that the leftist movement in a given nation should be spread out among labour unions, mutual aid networks, political parties, and activist groups. This is done in order to both prevent corruption within the leftist movement, and to make Capitalist suppression less effective or destructive.
* Conditional Electoralism. While not being against violent revolution, especially in the cases of feudal monarchies, Unitism believes that peaceful and democratic transitions to Socialism should be attempted before insurrection. This is to avoid not only the bloodshed of the proletariat, but also the destruction of tools and recourses the Working Class needs or desires. Such as farms and housing.
* Anti-One Party Statism. Believing in a tolerance of all ideals, with the exception of Monarchism, Unitism goes against the idea of a One Party State. This is done in order to not constrain or restrict the Working Class' ideas and beliefs. Preferring to convince the Working Class of the benefits of Socialism rather than force them into believing it.
* Anti-Vanguardism. Similarly, Unitism goes against the idea of Vanguard party. Something they see as easily corruptible and susceptible to Capitalist subterfuge. Believing that a Leftist Movement that acts like "a school of fish" rather than one fish can achieve more for Socialism and the Working Class.
* Market Socialism. Economically, Unitism espouses that the economy should be run on a basis of a variety of state-controlled firms, worker's co-operatives, and mutual aid networks. Rather than fully in state control. This is done both to prevent corruption of a leftist economy, and to give workers a variety of options in terms of work and labour.
Unitism is largely found in Nova Azcoria, with the WPA, the country's largest socialist party, being led by the founder of Unitism. It also has a dispersed presence in the former UBSR, however, no larger movement or group based on it's ideals has risen.
