Alpha Politics Movement

The Alpha Politics Movement (APM), also known as the Alphan Politics Movement and New Left Movement 2, was a short-lived rump organization led by Alpha as a remnant of the New Left Movement (NLM). It was de facto formed on October 3, 2021, following the dissolution of the NLM by Patriot the same day. Bstew, Freecoder, and even Patriot have all discredited the group. The group was dissolved on October 4, 2021, when Alpha left the wiki following an argument on Discord.

On October 3, 2021 Patriot announced the dissolution of the New Left Movement. Alpha didn't recognize the dissolution of the NLM and continued to fight for politics on the wiki. This led to the de facto creation of the Alpha Politics Movement by Alpha. The Alpha Politics Movement was widely disliked among the Alternate Territories Wiki. Bstew and Freecoder were quick to fight the group, meanwhile Patriot discredited it.
=== Battle of October 4, 2021 and Dissolution ===
Main article: September Protests#October 4, 2021
On October 4, 2021 a battle broke out on Discord between Freecoder, Patriot, and Alpha. Patriot and Freecoder criticized Alpha and demanded him to stop fighting. After a lot of back and forth, Alpha surrendered and the Alpha Politics Movement collapsed. Alpha then decided to leave the Alternate Territories Wiki.
== Political Beliefs ==
Carrying over Politicalisation from the New Left Movement, the Alpha Politics Movement was far more radicalized. The Alpha Politics Movement, unlike the NLM, was all about restoring politics and doesn't give a crap about corruption. The Alpha Politics Movement wanted to establish the ATC Soviet, being supportive of the September Constitution. A common contradiction in the Alpha Politics Movement is that Alpha wanted the ATC to not be like an internet micronation, but supported having a state and government for the wiki. This contradiction became a problem on October 4, 2020 during the battle on Discord.
== Implications and Allegations ==
=== Authoritarian Allegations ===
Throughout the September Protests, the ATC Opposition Organization accused the ATC Soviet, New Left Movement, and Alpha Politics Movement of being authoritarian.
=== Dictatorship Allegations ===
The New Left Movement had been invoked as an important part of the Alternate Territories Wiki's government in September Constitution. Because of this, the Alpha Politics Movement is allegedly considered to be the political party of an attempted dictatorship by Alpha. As Patriot put it on October 16, 2021, "The Alpha Politics Movement was a sad, chaotic attempt of a dictatorship by Alpha and his crazy beliefs of 'internet micronations' and Fandom politics."
== Reactions ==
=== Alpha ===
Alpha reacted to the fall of the Alpha Politics Movement by leaving the Alternate Territories Wiki. However, Alpha later declared he would come back on October 14, 2021. Though, Alpha changed his mind a few hours later.
