Communist Party of Elysium

Current Flag of the CPE

**The Communist Party**, officially **The Communist Party of Elysium (CPE)**, is a Maxist-Leviathist party in Elysium established in 2022. It is the founding and sole-governing party of Cezariya

The history of the Communist Party is closely tied to the Maxist movement throughout Elysian lore. The most previous iteration of the Maxist movement spawned in the Maxist Party of Marxare. After the Decline of Opean, Maxists laid dormant until the Re-Revival of Elysium.

## History

The Communist Party finds its supporter base through Maxist tradition. Through every age of Elysium, Maxists have rallied to the cause of establishing a Maxist society and spreading its ideology across all of Elysium. The heavily dogmatic and expansionist Maxist Parties of the past played a large role in the development of a culture of one-upmanship and xenophobia. This culture was funneled into the Communist Party after the synthesis of Maxism-Leviathism. This development of Maxism by kaisersalt has been the leading ideology of the Communist Party since he took over as the head of the Maxist movement after the resignation of Eucharia.

## Charter of the Party

The Charter is the constitutive document of the Communist Party that entails the ideology and methods that the party is to use while in function. Key tenets are listed below:

### Democratic Centralism

Democratic Centralism is held as the method of discussion in the party due to its effectiveness in maintaining unity within the party and preventing organizational split. The process of Democratic Centralism consists of policy proposal, then open and free-debate, then vote. When the decision is made, the minority vote (losing vote) must follow it, having the party make united action. They may not continue to argue against it, propagandize it, or antagonize any member of the majority vote.

### Soviet Democracy

Through a system of soviets, or councils, the members of the party are able to voice their opinions in meetings. Usually the soviets take form in towns, made up of party members. They are not forced to employ Democratic Centralism in sessions but it is encouraged. Through decisions made by municipal soviets (councils in the towns), the sentiments make their way up party organization to the Congress of the Party, which is itself a soviet made up of representatives from municipalities. Decisions of the Congress are passed off to the Central Committee for approval before the People's Commissars act upon them.

## Organization

The Communist Party is made up of several organs that function to keep the party generally democratic. These organs are as listed below:

### The Congress of the Party

Officially the **Congress of the Communist Party of Elysium (C-CPE)**, the Congress of the Party is lowest body in the party and is the policy-making and method determining assembly that utilizes Democratic Centralism to conduct its meetings. The Congress is open for all Party Members to participate in. It is the spine of the party and organization as a whole. Congress meetings will be held at least once a week and during the time gap the Central Committee will take over its functions. Members of Congress will directly elect who will participate in the Central Committee, ensuring fair representation. The General Secretary of Central Committee will preside over Congressional meetings.

### The Central Committee

Officially the **Central Committee of the Congress of the Communist Party of Elysium (Cencom)**, The Central Committee is the special governing body that acts while the Congress is out of session. Members of Congress directly elect members to the Committee. Members of the Committee select Peoples' Commissars to the Council of Peoples' Commissars.

The Central Committee will meet everyday to discuss the on-goings of the state and prepare for the weekly Congress meetings using Democratic Centralism.
