Third International

Flag of the Internationale

The **Third International**, officially the **Workers International** commonly referred to as the *Internationale*, due to its French domination, is an international organization of socialist parties, trade unions and political organizations advocating for the establishment of world socialism. Founded in 1921, it grew extensively over the years and stood victorious over the the Reichpakt in the Second Great War.

The Internationale should not be confused with the military alliance known as Marseille Pact, as the Third International is an international association of socialist and revolutionary parties that adhere to the Paris Charter, While the former is a military alliance created in Europe during the Second Great War between socialist nation states of Europe.

All official parties of the Third International adhere to the Paris Charter, however due to the nature of the organ to wield extensive power over foreign policy and domestic politics of many countries, in workers states, the ruling parties form a government delegation, in which all sections of legal members of the national legislature body could participate in observation status at the Congresses and meetings of the Third International. In some countries like Britain, the only body of politics was the TUC, which in turn mean that the British only sent its own government delegation, some have called this a gross violation of democratic principles.

The headquarter of the International and where the Grand Assembly is located is the Internationale Complex in Paris

## History

During the post-war revolutionary period, two Internationals existed from the ruin of the Second International, namely the Communist International in Russia and the Syndicalist International, the latter created a year after the establishment of the French Federation and that of the Comintern. Political fragmentation occured strongly against the Synditern as many political parties disapprove of its syndicalist exclsusive and "industrial" nature. By 1922, after the end of the Civil War in Russia and the arrival enmass of the Red Emigres, they brought along remnant of the Comintern, mounting pressure against the Syndietern already occured by the time these international movements arrive in France by a large majority of the political spectrum. The opportunity represented itself for the French political parties and British ones to compel a merger between the two "Third International", with this, both the Syndietern and Comintern ceased to exists to reform the Workers International that encompany both dominant political groups in France at the time of the syndicalist-revolutionaries and the political parties.

The collapse of the Second International also created the Labour and Socialist International, which retained membership of a large number of social democratic parties that do reject armed revolutionaries attempt like those in Russia, its also due to the fact association with the Workers International is illegal for these parties that want to operate within the parliamentary and electoral ground in the German Empire and their allied and client states.
