Ateneo Student League/ASL

The Ateneo Student League (Filipino: Liga ng Estudyanteng Atenista) is a moderate-left revolutionary organization in AteneoCord, formed by BlookyNapsta on 6 October 2021. It was designated as a terrorist group by the Ateneo Administrative Department of State together with Blooky and his supporters during its founding. The decision was later reversed following the results of October 6th, leading to the ASL becoming a legal front within the government following deals with Theo and the administrative team. According to Ateneo's Imperial Atenean Armed Forces (IAAF) Political Overview, the ASL aims to reform the server government through the introduction of a "Server Democracy" through militant means, such as protests, riots and rallies.

The ASL has been fighting for the advancement of Server Democracy since its establishment. Although its ranks initially numbered around 5, the movement grew quickly, supposedly due to the declaration and imposition of martial law by former dictator and owner Theo during early October. By the end of dictatorial rule in the server, the number of members had expanded to include more than 40 members. In a speech to fellow moderators, Theo's executive successor Yuuto accredited the movement's rapid growth as being caused by Theo's attempts to stifle it with the "means by which it grows" with his establishment of martial law.
The ASL fought in a second campaign against the AteneoCord government in an attempt to create a socialist state, before surrendering as a result of internal division and dissolving in late December. Its successor and more extreme-left faction, the Communist Party of AteneoCord, existed as a political party for 3 weeks before merging with Yuuto's party to form the People's Democratic Party.
== History==
In order to form a comprehensive server organization against the dictatorship of Theo, a National Organizing Committee was formed by members who were punished for their protests against the recent October 6 mandates, as well as other activists from Ateneo de Davao University. The committee held its private conferences, through the help of the community. The Ateneo Student League was formally established on October 6, in order to formally organize the many protestors and divisions within the opposition against the moderation team and those loyal to Theo. As many protestors merged with newly established organization, the Ateneo Server League's first members also came from many other progressive youth fighting against the dictatorship.
===The October 6th Movement ===
The Ateneo Server League spearheaded the movement called the October 6th Movement, to remove the powers of former dictator Theo, describing him as "anti-democratic", especially with relentless attacks on the freedom of speech and choice. The movement culminated in the first People Power, in which the Ateneo Server League was instrumental in the participation of hundreds of members against Theo.
Following the successful October 6 Movement, a initiative of ASL leaders, including Lara, Blooky and Nnitro, were gathered with the administration team to discuss the creation of a "Democratic Moderation Initiative", which culminated in the formation of the Reorganized Moderation Team, which handled the server through the usage of Server Democracy. ASL also campaigned against then-Head Administrator Yuuto, organizing with many opposition members in the staff team the ouster of Yuuto and his supporters.
===The Oust ASL Movement===
Born out of criticisms against the Ateneo Server League's inability to protest problems with the new staff team, specifically inspired by the crackdown on initial dissent, Former ASL members organized the "Oust ASL Movement". Established in early December, the Oust ASL Movement gathered many in the minority of the movement to protest against the group's inability to continue militant movement. The infighting eventually culminated in the ASL's purge, which removed 2/3rds of all members from the group in order to protect its militancy, however, as a result of a lack of things to directly protest alongside content reforms within the system back then, the ASL eventually disbanded and former members joining support with the former staff team.
