Communist Party (USSE)

The Communist Party (Lo'Oi: Saumizo Nan), typically abbreviated to the CPUSSE to differentiate from other nation's parties, is a Xeroist political party that dominates politics in the United Socialist States of Eldham. It is one of the largest political parties in the history of any nation on Stoneworks, and over its long history has had an estimated membership of over 200 independent people.

It is led by a Central Committee which votes on internal matters and doctrines and elects a leader called the Partisan Chair, sometimes called the Jaudá. The current Partisan Chair is Rosa Ortangon.

The party is considered the successor to a revolutionary organization called the Ároxin which was responsible for overthrowing the Sérotat Kingdom and founding the USSE. It has existed and been in power of the USSE government since the - only for a brief period of time between 69 TE and 78 TE following the Kunir War did the CPUSSE have to compete with rival political parties, where it still routinely received over 80% of the national vote in politics.

The Ároxin and the Sérotoix Revolution
Prior to the foundation of the USSE, the region of Lausá was led by a feudal nation called the Sérotat Kingdom which dominated a large swathe of land for an extended period of time. Feudal peasants grew enraged by the treatment they were given by the Sérotoix government and this resulted in numerous widespread assassinations and revolts against local lords across modern day Atoxa and Kramenix. Coincidentally around this time Rathnirians such as Athaz the Traveler made their first contact with Eldhamites. With this came the introduction of the ideology of socialism, which people began to hear about from nations such as the UBSR which had made a colony on Zamotz Island at this time. Burgamerian socialist texts became widely distributed throughout a few key locations in Eldham, however censorship of these texts were put in place in many nations. Where these books really took off was the Sérotat Kingdom which was in the midst of revolution from the peasantry. A small group of peasants, which named themselves the Ároxin (lit. Lo'Oi for 'spine', in reference to being the 'backbone' of the people), took the foundations of these texts to make Eldham's first socialist organization. It was their doctrine, informed by the Burgamerians, which would be placed at the forefront of the Sérotoix Revolution.

Foundation
In 61 TE, the Sérotat Kingdom was successfully overthrown and the United Socialist States of Eldham was created by the Ároxin. Immediately thereafter, the Ároxin changed its name to the Communist Party, in Lo'Oi known as the Saumizo Nan. The first General Secretary was appointed to be the revolutionary Aboniert Ormnidus.
