Marxist-Myohanist Party

The Marxist-Myohanist Party (MMP) is the founding and ruling party of the Myjohanian Union. The party was founded in ShitCraft IV by Myohani, as the Myohanian Communist Party (MCP) and played a major role in abolishing the Johanian monarchy and the subsequent founding of the Second Johanian Republic, of which the MCP formed the federal government together with the governing Vaushist Party. In ShitCraft V under the leadership of Myohani the party emerged victorious in the May 2021 Election. Since then, the Marxist-Myohanist Party has governed Myjohania as the governing body of the Myjohanian federal government. It rules the Myjohanian Central Council together with six other parties. Today the party constitution upholds Marxism–Myohanism, Myohani Thought, Socialism-In-One-Republic and Gallus Theory. As of 2021, the MMP has more than 40 million members, making it the second largest political party in the world after Ninjago's Great Ninjagō Prosperity Association.
The Marxist-Myohanist Party is officially organized on the basis of Myohanism, the traditional religion of the Myohanian people which believes in a pseudo-ecclesiastical governing structure, where higher-ups, together with the chosen People's Dictator (Myohani), rule the party and the land it governs. The General Committee is the party's highest body of which most duties and responsibilities are vested in together with the Supreme Council. Members of the latter are seen as the top leadership of the Party. Today the party's leader holds the offices of Secretary General, Chairman of the Party, and President of the Myjohanian Union. Because of these posts, the party leader is seen as the country's supreme leader. The current leader is Gallus, who was promoted to Secretary General following the Epstein Island operation, though the Myohani still officially holds the positions of Chairman and President.
== Ideology ==
It has been argued in recent years, mainly by Johanian commentators, that the MMP does not have an ideology, and that the party organization is pragmatic and interested only in what works. The party itself, however, argues otherwise. The Marxist-Myohanist Party puts a great deal of effort into the party schools and into crafting its ideological message. Before the Myohanian socialism for the next generation campaign, the relationship between ideology and decision-making was a deductive one, meaning that policy-making was derived from ideological knowledge. Under Gallus this relationship was turned upside down, with decision-making justifying ideology and not the other way around.
The party still firmly claim that they strictly adhere to the doctrines of Marxism-Myohanism. Foreign commentators have pointed out that following the lack of appearances of Myohani since early ShitCraft V, the party has seemingly abandoned the idea of the People's Dictator, a central concept in Marxist-Myohanist ideology. The party has created various informal leadership roles, where the party's Secretary General is the de facto head of the federal government, and the Chairman of the Myohanian People's Commissar Council has become the de facto leader of the Myohanian Autonomous Republic. Both of these leader positions are governed together with members of the General Comittee and the Supreme Council respectively.
=== Views on socialism and capitalism ===
The MMP does not believe that it has abandoned Marxism and socialism. The party views the world as organized into two opposing camps; socialist and capitalist. They insist that socialism, on the basis of historical materialism, will eventually triumph over capitalism. They assert that Marx claims that opting not to take part in capitalist cubalization means losing out in the fields of economic development, technological development, foreign investment and world trade. This view is strengthened by the economic failures of the Second Johanian Republic.
Despite admitting that cubalization developed through the capitalist system, the party's leaders and theorists argue that cubalization is not intrinsically capitalist, the reason being that, if cubalization were purely capitalist, it would exclude an alternate socialist form of modernity. Therefore, the official party doctrine is that it runs a Myohanian socialist system in the Myjohanian Union and Myohania. The party often argues for flexibility within economic policy in order to maintain a foothold in the cubal market economy. Since Myohani became leader, the party has supported and enacted market liberalization in certain areas. These reforms were only continued under Gallus with the establishment of the Special Economic Zones of Odessa and the Maltese Falcon. However, in less prosperous areas of Myohania, state-enterprises are still the norm. Arguably, the various enterpises owned by Myohani could be considered to be state-owned when taking into account his formal position in the party. Though said enterprises are currently treated as private ones, albeit with reportedly special legal leeway in some areas.
=== Gallus Theory ===
Following the promotion of Gallus within the Marxist-Myohanist Party, there has been a discrete reformation of certain party programmes and official ideological posititions. Gallus' contributions have been added to the Party Constitution under the label Gallus Theory. Gallus Theory asserts that the Myohanian people and the Johanians have a shared destiny as they are the successors to the Thustian Empire. Thus, it is an axiomatic value in Gallus Theory is that neither libertarian socialism (Johania's ideological alignment) or authoritarian socialism (the system in Myohania), are superior than the other nor the "true" form of socialism. It is believed that the final form of socialism will be established after the cubal revolution has taken place. Therefore, another core value in Gallus Theory is the support for socialist movements and socialist governments ablock the cube, regardless of their specific praxis. These ideas played a large role in the Myjohanian Union's alliance with Norrland, and the formation of the People's Republic of Hellas.
Critics, including Orthodox Marxist-Myohanists and outside observers point out that Gallus Theory is possibly contradictory to the doctrine of Socialism-In-One-Republic. Gallus and the party argues otherwise, and point to it being rather an extension of the doctrine since it does not outright reject the righteousness of Marxism-Myohanism and still expresses a similar tolerance towards other forms of socialism, such as Myohani have in his works on Myohani Thought.
=== Myohani Thought ===
The current Myohani has made numerous ideological contributions to the party throughout his reign, including his volumes of the continous Myohani Commentaries which evolves Marxism-Myohanism. Additionally, he has written several political theories that are not part of the volumes but rather direct additions to the party programme, which many M-Ms view as an official appendix of the Commentaries. These works are collectively known as Myohani Thought.
Myohani Thought are a set of ideas and policies which ideologically stresses the importance of continous flexibility within the Marxist-Myohanist system for the current cubal blockscape, and practically puts forward economic prosperity and dominance in cubal trade as the current goals of the party. Myohani argues that throughout Marxism-Myohanism's existence, it has undergone numerous iterations and changes. In ShitCraft I, Myohani's kingdom in the Johanian Empire was essentially an absolute monarchy despite the M-M's ideological opposition to such a system. Myohani argues that for the ideology to survive, it adapted itself during that era and became Marxism-Myohanism-Monarchism and likewise, the current ShitCraft-era should give rise to a system which could be called Marxism-Myohanism-Capitalism, known officially as Myohanian socialism and under Gallus' policies as Myohanian socialism for the next generation. Where the ideological justification is that the current economic prosperity will create the material conditions required for the next step of socialism to be implemented.
