Worker's Socialist Party of Hansa

Founding

The Worker's Socialist Party of Hansa was founded on May 4th by E.G and Anonymus001 in the Maritime Republic of Hansa. It was created as a way to organize the growing industrial working class of Hansa after the mass immigration of workers to the island due to its rapid industrialization under the Henry Corporation. It was created around the generic socialist ideals of collective ownership of the means of production, but slowly grew its goals into more encompassing goals such as the seizure of political power from the ruling bourgeoise class (which at the time was composed by landowners and industrialists who held a complete control of government) as well as the creation of a Hansan People's Republic with democratic checks and balances to enable the industrial proletariat and its allied classes (such as the farmers and specialists) to run government without fail.

Legacy of the May Day Revolution

The Worker's Socialist Party also drew heavy inspiration from the May Day Revolution in Hansa, a battle between insurgent workers and the allies of the bourgeoise class in Hansa which was a result of the culminating class tensions in Hansa as a result of rapid industrialization. The legacy of the May Day Revolution still remains an important part of the Worker's Socialist Party as it was the indication to E.G and Anonymus001 (the Party's founders) that socialism in Hansa was not only possible, but close at hand. After its founding, the Party quickly grew to become the most successful political party in Hansa yet, doubling and then quadrupling its membership in a span of two days before winning its first election in the Hansan May 7th Hansestag Elections. The Party also remains the longest lasting political party in Hansa, being still active weeks after its founding, unlike other parties in Hansa.

Democratic System & the Worker's Council

The Worker's Socialist Party is run by the Worker's Council, a body of members who volunteered to join it to help administrate the Party. The Worker's Council originally consisted only of E.G and Anonymus001 to function as an electoral body, however as the Party grew it was opened for more members to join. It currently runs motions & instructs the Party's elected representatives in government what to do in a bottom up democratic manner. So far it has passed a number of bills on many issues, mainly surrounding community aid and the construction of a Communal Garden in Hansa to feed its industrial working class. It is also in the process of drafting a constitution for Hansa, which it plans to introduce. It currently is undergoing elections for a General Secretary and Secretary Treasurer to run the Party's functions as it continues to grow.
