Republican Left

### Overview

The International Communist Movement was a communist political party seeing itself as the "party of all peoples of the world" and as such, while currently only being in Adoria, they are not exclusively an Adorian party. The International Communist Movement claims to represent the working class of all the world and officially calls for world revolution in it's manifesto. Their core ideologies were communism, internationalism, anti-capitalism and radicalism. Unlike many other leftist parties in Adoria, they do not see themselves as a successor of the United Workers Front nor are they related to them in any way.

On 10th of April, the International Communist Movement rebranded to Republican Left, with Morgoth becoming new party leader. On 25th of April the party would merge into the SDP.

### Leadership

*\*While Lord Fabiaen is commonly referred to as the first leader of the ICM, since he founded it and lead it through most of the stages of its creation, he was not leader when the party officially formed making the first officially recognized leader of the party Arjona.*

## Party History:

### Lord Fabiaen:

While the history of the party is pretty uneventful during Lord Fabiaen's leadership, due to the fact the party had not yet formed, his leadership was important as it set up the framework for the party with a popular leader and saw the ICM become a unique among leftist parties in Adoria in the sense that it would me neither Anarchist nor Marxist-Leninist like many past parties, would not claim to be the successor of a past leftist party, and would not be centered on solely Adoria and instead focusing on the international proletariat and world revolution. While he did not make ICM a Troskyist party, the influence of the ideology can be seen in the party under his leadership. His leadership would end before it would even officially begin when he announced his retirement from politics.

### Arjona:

When it was announced that Lord Fabiaen would be stepping down, the future of the party would be called into question as many would wonder if this would spell the premature death of the party. However, the party managed to survive through Lord Fabiaen's appointed successor Arjona who would lead the party to its official formation, reorganizing slightly and expanding it's membership after becoming leader. Under his leadership ICM would gain 10 seats. While it was originally speculated that ICM would be in a coalition with SDP and DMEA, this didn't end up happening due to DMEA kicking ICM out of negotiations and due to DMEA failing to reach a deal with SDP due to their plans to privatize sectors of the economy. Arjona is controversial as a Party Leader being criticized as being "ethno-nationalist", "far-right", and as being overly polarizing and unpopular. However, Arjona has also been praised for his early leadership of the party through its creation and is sometimes credited as having been responsible for the party surviving Lord Fabiaen's resignation and for allowing the party to get 10 seats in it's first election. Under his leadership his logo would also change to the current ICM logo. After the 72nd Adorian Election he announced that he would be resigning as Party Leader and would be holding a leadership election, due to the massive loss in the election. The two candidates in the election are Usyer Naem and Joseph Robinette Mother II. His term would end the following day when Usyer Naem would be declared the winner with 55.6% of the vote.

### Usyer Naem:

Usyer Naem succeeded Arjona following his resignation and the leadership election making him the first leader elected to the position. While campaigning for the position and after winning he promised a series of reforms which would revitalize the party and provide structure as well as a "clear and concise purpose to the party."
