Ideology and Politics
Communism is the main party ideology. Minor factions of anarchists, left-libertarians and various leftists are tolerated.

The Communist Party of Lourenne has an open-minded policy that reaches out to other center-left and left parties but stresses the realization of a classless, stateless society based on the common ownership of the means of production. It does not hold an aggressive stance towards other ideologies productive. However, it deems itself the only representation of the working classes and of the struggle against capitalism.

Before 2570
Before the founding of the Communist Party, Lourenne had a rich history of liberation groups, guerrilla's and communist thinkers. The most important of these was Charles Jaugenais, who made a bridge between scientific and utopian socialism. His book "On the Ideology of Communism: A Critique for Lourenne's Future" is the official canon of the party. Another inspirer of the party's ideology was Martin Essinck-Hawes, a utopian socialist and early industrialist.

Various leftist and socialist parties existed in Lourenne. Projects to introduce socialism with a long-term perspective have however never been accomplished.
