Makeup of the Ankrasian Assembly Pre-7/22/21

NOTICE
The Popular Assembly and the Ankrasian people in popular referendum have resolved to increase the electable seats of the Assembly to 1908 for the next election cycle to improve representation.
It is expected this will bring smaller parties like Liberty and Tradition, League of Socialists, and Alliance of Socialist Democrats into the government allowing for the voters of these niches to be represented.

People's Party of Republicans and Democrats

The People's Party is the organization, founded by Helva Jakar, as a result of protests against imperialism by the Empire of Venus (which became the Empire of Ankras). She would be succeeded by a family member, Inteins Jakar, who led the party for most of the revolutionary period. The People's Party-led Revolutionary Junta of Ankras during the civil war against Royal Loyalists and founded the Federation of Ankras. The party ideology has evolved over the years. The party has always been a big tent party of republicans however at the time the overton window in the party was firmly to the right. Helva Jakar represented an era of the party where the People's Party represented Republicans both of the right-liberal and left-liberal sort. Inteins Jakar moved the window towards the left and Inteins Arek moved it farther left with his socialist policies. However the party has always voiced a Revolutionary Republican line. Today the primary factions within the People's Party are the "Revolutionary Socialist Caucus" which currently is the dominant force in the party and the "Jacobin Caucus" which is a minority voice. These represent Revolutionary Socialism and Ankrasian Jacobinism respectively.

The Revolutionary Socialist Caucus ideologically upholds a broad concept of "Revolutionary Socialism" which ranges from the Marxism-Leninism shared by the Communist Party to less specific concepts of socialism. This caucus is the one who President Inteins Arek is a member and represents the People's Party internal left-wing.

The Jacobin Caucus ideologically upholds "Ankrasian Jacobinism" which is a radical republican ideology inspired by but not specifically adhering to socialism. Its ideology most closely resembles the Social Democratic and Democratic Socialist lines of smaller parties while still attaching itself to the Radical and Revolutionary Liberal ideals of the Old Earth Jacobin Club. For this reason, its ideology has been described as "Social Democratic," "Democratic Socialist," and "Radically Liberal" by those outside the Caucus. Ankrasian Jacobinism is also often regarded as "Jakarism" as it was formulated by Marshal Inteins Jakar during the Junta Period and maintained during Jakar's presidential period after democratization. It is the party's internal right-wing as of the modern-day. Even with that in mind, it has openly admitted to saying "The socialists are more trustworthy than the Revolutionary Party types" and have clearly taken a pro-socialist direction in Ankrasian politics. The caucus, whilst proclaiming itself as being its own thing separate from socialism and capitalism, distances itself from being a "third position" and clearly identifies itself as a left-wing revolutionary tendency.

Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution


Radical Front

Progressive Revolutionary Alternative

Progressive Revolutionary Alternative was founded out of dialogue between the Liberty and Tradition Party, Party for Liberty and Self-Determination, and the Revolutionary Party on forming a united opposition party to the ADR and RF. The meetings were sponsored by the Revolutionary Party after it threatened to join the opposition if the ADR continued to allow the Workers and Labor Party in its ranks. Saying by doing so "the ADR has ceased to be a republican coalition and has become the broad tool of the Radical Front Communists."

The PRA was formed on the basis of opposing Socialism, promoting Republicanism, and supplanting the PDNE monarchists as the primary opposition.

The party presents itself as the true heirs of the Ankrasian Democratic Revolution. They say that the People's Party has betrayed its history, Inteins Jakar, and Helva Jakar by giving men like Hilso Dulakaia and Inteins Arek power in the People's Party. Therefore, it concludes, that the People's Party had corrupted the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution by using it as a socialist parliamentary coalition subordinate to the Communist-led Radical Front. The People's Party calls this narrative paranoid and unsubstantial.

Ankrasian Workers and Labor Party

The Workers and Labor Party was founded by the Alliance of Trade Unions to empower labor in the Ankrasian political system. The organization was not founded under the direction of any particular ideology though it does align itself with pro-union and internationalist organizations like those in the Radical Front. It also serves as a member of the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution seeing the Democratic Revolution as something to preserve.

Ankrasian Communist Party

The Ankrasian Communist Party is the oldest legal party in Ankras. It was founded immediately after the "Empire of Venus" was proclaimed as an underground effort to take down the monarchy. It joined the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution under the Revolutionary Military Junta led by the People's Party to support the rise of Republicanism. The ACP views the current primary contradiction to be the consolidation of the Republic and to destroy any remnants of royalist reaction. For this reason, it maintains its alliance with the People's Party.

Party for the Democracy of a New Era

The Party for the Democracy of a New Era is a royalist party that wishes to maintain most of the political gains made by the revolution under the observation of a constitutional monarch. However the party refuses to join the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution because the People's Party's dominance knowing they will not compromise on the issue of monarchy. The PDNE has a strenuous alliance with the Revolutionary Party on issues relating to the economy and trade. Otherwise the PDNE's relationship with the RP in the sphere of governing Ankras are in opposition. The PDNE has been accused several times of being the Kaia Dynasty's legal front group. A claim the PDNE has called "paranoid nonsense of socialist authoritarians."

League of Socialists

The League of Socialists is an empire-era split from the People’s Party during the leadership of Helva Jakar. The split was a result of dissatisfaction with her big tent policies that pushed the party right on social and economic issues. Even as the party has moved left the League of Socialists is hesitant to reunify with the party due to the big tent nature. The League of Socialists was one of the earlier members of the Communist Party led Radical Front leaving for a short period of time during the Civil War.

Liberty and Tradition Party

The Liberty and Tradition Party is a split from the PLSD resulting from the party’s comparatively progressive social policy where the LTD calls for a more traditionalist approach. PLSD and LTD remain allies in the FEF for economic liberalization. The party does not align itself with the monarchist ideology of the PDNE and for that reason has opted to remain largely a separate entity.

Dulaman's Band of Pirates

Dulaman's Band of Pirates is the largest of the minor (seatless) political parties in Ankras however it has refused to register for any election. Political analysts judge the party could easily stand as an equal to the Communist Party in the Assembly if it has done so. It has adopted this stance as a result of the party's adherence to Dulamanism. Dulamanism is a revolutionary republican tendency built on the concept of a single party of all progressive forces acting as an independent of the government but supporting it when their interests align and opposing where their interests contradict. Currently DBP has allied itself with the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution as it sees the republican democratic struggle the primary issue of importance under the conditions of modern Ankras. However the DBP opposes the Revolutionary Party seeing it as a potential collaborator with reactionaries due to its coalition with the PDNE.

The DBP was founded when Dulaman Kaia, a non-inheriting prince of the Kaia Dynasty, relinquished all of his titles and took with him a loyal force within the Ankrasian Imperial Navy and Army to terrorize pro-empire naval forces and support pro-junta democratic revolutionaries by raiding imperial supply lines. When Dulaman died two years before the end of the civil war his second-in-command Uelis Kislo took control of the force and began the process of integrating the naval forces with the Revolutionary People's Navy.

The current leader of the DBP is Cierr Dulakaia, Dulaman's granddaughter, who changed her last name to Dulakaia to separate Dulaman's line from the line of the Kaia dynasty still leading royalist paramilitaries.

Party of the Kaia Dynasty

The Party of the Kaia Dynasty was founded as the political club of the active supporters of Jusar Kaia's Venusian Empire and Hersa Kaia's Ankrasian Empire. It was banned by the Revolutionary Military Junta during the civil war and now acts as a guerrilla force trying to overthrow the Republic. While it is unknown to what degree the PDNE has relations with the PKD, it is known that the PDNE has successfully softened up public opinion on the PKD and fights in all state organs for the party's legalization.

The party, under Marshal-Regent Fikhov Terris had an ideological realignment and created the Ankrasian Labor Front and Royal Trade and Industry Organization which were Party-directed trade union federations meant to stifle the power of the Republican Labor movement. The PKD, ALF, and RTIO are now illegal organizations but they do operate in varying levels of power throughout Ankras and the PKD has maintained its Syndicalist ideology as an attempt to challenge the dominating socialist ideology of the Republican leadership.

Revolutionary Party

The Revolutionary Party is a split organization of the People's Party that formed as a response to Inteins Jakar becoming Secretary-General of the PP. Unlike the People's Party, which has evolved greatly, the Revolutionary Party has maintained its comparative rightism. The Revolutionary Party maintains its Radical Republican ideology and maintains a friendly relationship with the People's Party. The Revolutionary Party is the primary critic of Inteins Arek's socialist policy within the Pro-Revolution forces.

Many of the Revolutionary Party's critics view it as cowardly. The Revolutionary Party does not take a pro-government or pro-opposition stance within the Assembly as a result of its equal membership in FEF and the ADR. Particular criticism comes from the Party of Liberty and Self-Determination which declares that the Revolutionary Party has surrendered the leadership of the Ankrasian opposition to "far-right authoritarian empire-sympathizers" in PDNE and has stunted the potential of a unified principled opposition coalition under "delusions of being able to supplant the Socialists, Jacobins, Communists, and Trade Unionists from within the ADR and weed out the Radical Front."

With the formation of the Workers and Labor Party and its immediate acceptance into the Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution, the Revolutionary Party became disillusioned with reforming the ADR and entered in talks with the PLSD and LTP in forming a united Republican non-monarchist opposition party. The LTP declined the request but the moderate sections of the party were in favor. The PLSD was completely in favor. With this change the Revolutionary Party had become defunct.

Front for Economic Freedom

Party of Liberty and Self-Determination

The Party of Liberty and Self-Determination (PLSD) is a Junta-era political party that was founded in opposition to the left-wing economic policy that Ankras was taking under Inteins Jakar. It stands for a Libertarian political ideology that seeks to reduce government power in the economy and lives of people. To that degree the party calls for a complete redoing of the political system.

The PLSD untied with the Revolutionary Party and Liberty Tradition Moderates to form the Progressive Revolutionary Alternative as a stronger unified Republican opposition to the People's Party without the leadership of monarchists.

Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution

The Alliance for the Defense of the Revolution was founded during the Ankrasian Revolutionary Junta as a tool to unify and coordinate the efforts of pro-revolution organizations. It was originally formed between the Communist Party and People's Party. However, the Revolutionary Party applied to join a few years into the civil war. The ADR unified the revolutionary paramilitaries of its members into the Ankrasian People's Revolutionary Military and now as part of the Assembly, it serves as a coalition that is unified on matters of foreign policy and government. Despite this, within the sphere of how to run the economy, the only consistent issue is supporting the unions.

Radical Front

The Radical Front was founded at the same time as the Communist Party and represents the allies of the socialist cause. Before the founding of the People's Party the Radical Front was the largest political force calling for the abolition of the monarchy. The People's Party did not join the Radical Front until four years ago when Inteins Arek's reforms significantly bent the orientation of the People's Party towards socialism. The Radical Front also includes several smaller parties outside the Assembly in its ranks.

Front for Economic Freedom

The Front for Economic Freedom is a post-revolution alliance formed between the Revolutionary Party, PDNE, and various smaller parties to unify the voice of the critics of the increasing socialist direction of the ADP. The party calls for privatization of industries and lower taxes. Due to the firm republicanism of the Revolutionary Party and the firm Monarchism of the PDNE the organization has been held together by a thread and often is incapable of presenting a unified statement on an issue.
