New Left Movement

The New Left Movement (NLM), officially New Left Movement of the Alternate Territories Community or alternatively New Left ATC, was a Marxist political movement on the ATC founded by User:MapOfFish to attempt defend workers and editors rights. It was dissolved on October 3, 2021, over an announcement on Discord.
== History ==
=== Foundation ===
The New Left ATC was founded on 7 September, 2021, at 8:43 PM (Eastern Standard Time), or 12:43 AM (UTC) by MapOfFish (Patriot). It was founded as an Anti-Authoritarian Marxist political movement dedicated to protecting the editors on the wiki.
=== Early Reactions ===
Alpha was quick to join the New Left ATC on September 8, 2021. The movement was criticised for fighting for an issue that didn't currently exist by some, first Bstew, who called the NLM unecessary and denounced it. Freecoder also expressed mild concerns about the NLM's existence, but nothing much. Liuan said that he was fine with the NLM existing but didn't want drama. Patriot and Alpha responded by saying that the point of NLM was to further keep peace and prevent corruption, not to cause drama. Freecoder responded by saying that the admins weren't corrupt and that the movement wasn't needed, Patriot replying saying that the NLM was ment to be a system of checks and balances to prevent corruption from happening in the first place. Liuan eventually saw this discussion between Patriot and Freecoder, and agreed to end the New Left Conflict.
===New Left Arguments===
Freecoder, Liuan, and Bstew debated with Patriot and Alpha, expressing mild concerns. Bstew was quick to call out the NLM, saying it was unecessary and accused Alpha and Patriot of disturbing the peace. Freecoder expressed mild concerns and agreed with Bstew that it was unecessary, but didn't take much action. Liuan warned the NLM to not cause drama, but was otherwise fine with the movement's existence.
=== September Protests and Dissolution ===
Following the September Constitution on September 20, 2021, the September Protests began. The New Left Movement attempted to defend the constitution, but Patriot recieved backlash for their actions and attempted to isolate themself from the community. On October 3, 2021, in order to prevent further drama, the New Left Movement of the Alternate Territories Wiki was announced dissolved.
== Declaration ==
I, MapOfFish, also known as Patriot, herby declare the creation of the New Left Movement of the Alternate Territories Community. I am here to protect the rights of editors on the wiki from moderators who may try to abuse them. I am not here to promote a Marxist agenda, but just here to execute Marxism in defense of our editors. I am here to protect the people from the government. I don't care what the mods say, but I'm saying no to authority.
== Influence ==
=== September Constitution ===
According to the September Constitution written by Patriot and Alpha, the 'New Left Movement' section states:
"Going back to preventing Authoritarianism, the New Left Movement (NLM) is an important factor. NLM is a Marxist organization created by Alpha and Patriot designed with the purpose of preventing admin corruption."
The September Constitution gives the NLM the influence to prevent admin corruption, however the September Constitution is not recognized as official by ATC admins.
=== Fart-Banana People's Party ===
After the creation of the New Left Movement, User:NotFinland was ironically inspired to create the 'Fart-Banana People's Party', or F-BPP. The F-BPP is a joke an not meant to be taken seriously, but NotFinland keeps up the joke.
== Fun Facts ==
# The New Left Movement and the Leftist International Intiative share the same flag.
# Despite having Politicalisation as an ideology, the New Left Movement is actually meant to keep mods from becoming corrupt, not meant to restore politics.
