People's Revolutionary Communist Party

The People's Revolutionary Communist Party is a far left party in the nation of Hutori.

Economy
As a Communist party, the PRCP is a clear proponent of a state-owned economy. It has been proven time and again that capitalism and the free market ideology are not capable of sustaining every single valuable member of society.

Industry and Business
The PRCP differs with regular Communism on one important viewpoint concerning industry and business. Whereas traditional communism does not allow small private businesses, the PRCP does. If a citizen wishes to start his or her own business, he should be allowed to under very strict regulations, making sure that there is no unfair competition, making sure that prices remain acceptable and making sure that the services or goods he or she is providing have a positive impact on the neighbourhood. Furthermore, the nationalisation of key industries such as telecommunication, gas, electricity and water are crucial to the wellbeing of all citizens.

Taxes and their Allocation
It is necessary to raise taxes for the rich and upper middle-class and lower them for the poor and the lower middle-class. These funds are to be used to pay for various large social programmes of which all citizens can draw benefit, such as free health care and education.

Civil Rights
The PRCP advocates many civil rights, but with rights come obligations. Abortion should be allowed in the first and second trimester, and euthanasia should be allowed with consent from both the doctor and the patient. When dealing with organs of a deceased person, consent ought to be assumed unless otherwise stated. Individual freedom is very important, but should never be disconnected from the wellbeing of society as a whole. Therefore we also advocate marriage regardless of sexuality. Increasing overall tolerance is most important to the PRCP.

Environment
The environment is very important, and the PRCP wishes to protect it. Banning hunting and fishing are important to the PRCP, as well as imposing very strict laws concerning pollution control.

This planet wasn't given to us by our parents, we are borrowing it from our children. - Arienne Joséphine

Military
The PRCP is a very pacifist party. This does not mean it cowers behind others for protection, however. When the very ideals of the PRCP become threatened, it will take up arms and fight for its right to exist. The PRCP opposes all chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Only research in those areas should be allowed under very strict regulations and conditions.

Religion
Religion is a very important issue to the PRCP, not so much because of preservation, but because of extermination. The PRCP has a very firm stance on religion which becomes very obvious in the following quote by Julien Lahaut, first chairman of the PRCP.

''Religion is poison. Poison. Like a poison, it weakens humanity. Like a drug, it retards the mind of one's self and society. The opiate of the people.''

The PRCP wishes to see religion completely eradicated from the face of the planet.

Communist Party of the People and the Great Julien Lahaut
On July 17, 2495, Julien Lahaut founded the Communist Party of the People. Lahaut himself was a staunch Trotskyist and founded the party on those very principles. The party was founded shortly after the 2495 elections, and was therefore unable to participate. However, in 2499 the CPP was able to enter its first elections. Much to everyone's surprise, the elections were a major success, taking almost 19% of the votes. The Communist Party of the People became an important player on the political front, unable to be ignored. Julien Lahaut would continue to lead the party until February 2505, when he had to step down because of illness. He was succeeded by Hélène Tropez-Carraque who held various ministerial posts during the past years.

Years of Moderate Success, End of the Monarchy and "Walsingham's Disaster"
In the years following Lahaut, the party continued to receive ample votes in elections. Tropez-Carraque was able to abolish the monarchy together with friends and allies in other parties. The Most Serene Republic of Hutori was proclaimed, and was considered a great victory for the CPP. She was succeeded by Martin Walsingham who held the post of chairman from August 2512 until December 2517. During this periode the party strayed from its Trotskyist course. Walsingham's term would have lasting repercussions on the following years. These years would later become known as "Walsingham's Disaster".

Tanahashi and the Electoral Loss
In December 2517, Martin Walshingham was succeeded by the young Hiroshi Tanahashi who was known as a "New Trotskyist". There were rumblings both on the inside and outside that even he would not be able to save the party from Walsingham's disastrous leadership. During the next elections of 2518 and 2522 the party lost 7% and 5% respectively. This came as a great blow to the party and to communism in Hutori in general. In the following elections of 2526 Tanahashi was able to reduce the damage somewhat by regaining just over 1%, but the destruction was done. Tanahashi was forced to abdicate in July of 2529.

The Rise of Mahmur al-Banida and the People's Revolutionary Communist Party
Mahmur al-Banida would prove to be one of the most important people in the party's history. He came to power in July 2529 and immediately set out to rid the party of Walsingham's disastrous term. He would succeed where Hiroshi Tanahashi failed. Several days after his ascent to power, on July 17, 2529 exactly 34 years after the party's foundation, he transformed the party into the People's Revolutionary Communist Party. This move was not only aesthetic, but also ideological. The party would no longer solely be Trotskyist, but Socialist and Democratic Socialist aswell. He continued leading the party until February 2533 when he was forced to abdicate due to illness. Samantha Coulton briefly took over control of the party, but when al-Banida was cured of his illness in August 2534 he returned to lead the party for another 9 years.

Road to the Civil War
A relatively quiet period on party politics followed after al-Banida's leadership. Ayumi Hamasaki lead the party from December 2543 to November 2547, followed by Austin Powers who was so loved by the party that he was able to lead it for almost 15 years, from November 2547 to May 2562. Although this period was quiet when it came to party politics, it was not so quiet on the national level. During this period there were growing voices to restore the monarchy in Hutori. Amidst this national chaos, Michael Hadrianos, a convinced communist and republican, became party chairman.

Hadrianos uttered an ultimatum; If you restore the monarchy, we will bring it down.

The Beginning of the Civil War
October 2563, the monarchy was restored, and Hadrianos fulfilled his ultimatum. On a short amount of time militia was able to secure several key buildings in the Lagard province and soon after the secession of Lagard was announced. The Civil War had begun. Lagard soon renamed itself to the Democratic People's Republic of Hutori and claimed to be the only legal authority in the land. New Issac was declared capital of the new nation, and Michael Hadrianos was declared President of the People. Shortly afterwards the People's Revolutionary Communist Liberation Army lead by Juan Antonio Samaranch began an invasion of Adelia which would take several months to accomplish. Hadrianos originally believed that the conflict would have to be resolved without any external aid, but was amazed when both nationally and internationally voices started to rise in support of the DPRH.

New Allies
The Future Generation Green Party lead by Turjan Matisse decided to take up arms and fight alongside the PRCP in the Civil War. This was a great boost to morale as the PRCP was no longer alone in their fight against the monarchy. Several months later the Hutori Conservative Council and the Conservative Union Party reformed their positions and formed the Union of Greater Kenai. During this period the Viktor Schmöller Collective declared the independence of Falristan. Falristan, Lagard and the FGGP Administration would later sign an agreement uniting their efforts into the Confederation of Greater Falristan, Roccato and the People of Lagard. This was the first incarnation of the Confederation, and would undergo many changes in the years to come.

Dissolution of the Viktor Schmöller Collective and loss of Falristan
Several months into the war, the VSC dissolved because of reasons that are still not known. This meant that the province of Falristan was no longer under control of the Confederation. Because of this the Confederation had to be reformed, and it became known as the Confederation of the Unified People of Lagard, Adelia and Roccato. Adelia was included because it was soon to fall to the troops of the Confederation. During this period the Confederation also started receiving help and troops from Pan-Terran Red Army.

Adrianopolis, Matissah and the Fall of Adelia
With aditional reinforcements from the Pan-Terran Red Army the push towards Bekenial City lead by Juan Antonio Samaranch was finally finished. The city fell and was subsequently renamed Adrianopolis in honour of Michael Hadrianos. New Issac was renamed Matissah in honour of Turjan Matisse, leader of the FGGP. Jane Lahaut, granddaughter of Julien Lahaut, would become mayor of Adrianopolis. She would later return to a more prominent role in the party.

Democratic Nationalist Party joins the Fray
Several years into the war, with a stalemate ensuing, the Democratic Nationalist Party lead by Peter Bestat joined the war in support of its Republican brothers. With the additional forces, the Confederation was able to launch an offensive towards Ihmetellä, the capital. It was during this period that the Confederation took its final form, the Confederation of the United People of Hutori. The invasion of Falristan was successful, the attack on Ihmetellä however, was not. The army came to a standstill several miles in front of the city, within shelling range. Juan Antonio Samaranch ordered the city to be destroyed after the garrison refused to surrender.

Saiserist League invades Roccato
The Saiserist League in a stunning move invaded the Northern Island of Roccato in aid of the Confederation. In return, the Confederation approved that the Roccatan capital of North Point was to be renamed to Saiserstadt. Their aid would become crucial in the fight ahead.

Hadrianos murdered, Jane Lahaut steps up, Samaranch retires
Michael Hadrianos, long-time chairman of the PRCP and instigator of the Civil War, was shot in a vile and cowardly attack on his motorcade as he was taking a tour of Adrianopolis, with his wife sitting next to him. Hadrianos was days away of reaching his 45th birthday and many celebrations were planned. Although the perpetrator was never caught, all fingers pointed and remain pointed towards the Union. After the attack, Jane Lahaut was elected as new party leader. She would continue where Hadrianos left off, and declared him a martyr. During her leadership the city of Ihmetellä fell at last to the Confederation and was renamed to New Bestat in honour of Peter Bestat, leader of the DNP.

Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was the leader of the People's Revolutionary Communist Liberation Army for many years finally decided to retire his post. This came at a very odd time, as the parties of the Confederation had just attained a majority in parliament. His successor was to be Arienne Joséphine. Samaranch was declared a Hero of the People. During her term, the nations of Zardugal and Sekowo would enter the war on the Confederate side.

The Rising Star of Arienne Joséphine
With Samaranch's retirement, the government needed a new minister of defence and so Arienne Joséphine stepped up. Joséphine was the first female admiral of the fleet, and took over the ministry of defence. When Joséphine became Minister of Defence, one of her first acts was to promote herself to Grand Admiral with the approval of the government. She would later appoint General Tanahashi (not related to Hiroshi Tanahashi) to the post of Field Marshal.

Joséphine becomes Party Leader
After 7 years, Jane Lahaut decided to pass on the torch of the party to Arienne Joséphine. Joséphine did not expect this to happen and was completely baffled when asked about the event, saying:

''It is with great humility that I accept this honour. For years I have fought to defend the Party, the Republic, the Confederation. I shall continue to do so for years to come, should the need arise. Jane Lahaut has transformed this party during a few short years. I shall never be an equally great leader as she was, is, and always will be.''
