Communist Party of Aloria

History
The CPA, as a party, was formed in 2620.

Beginnings of the Party

The CPA, originally the Aloria Communist Party, was founded in 2620, by disillusioned members of the Revolutionary Socialist Party. Unorganized and confused, the party got off to a poor start, and disbanded within months. Several months later, in 2621, the party reformed, led by Thomas Young, a 42-year old labor organizer from Libertia. Funded, trained, and advised by the RSP and volunteers from around the world, the party quickly flourished, winning 23 seats in its first election.

Factions
Although the CPA votes as one party, there is, and always will be many divisions between the party.

Trotskyists (37%): This is the major faction in CPA. Following the ideas of Trotskyism, this faction continues to be the dominant group. Libertarian Socialists (22%): The most radical and antiauthoritarian of the party, this group consists mostly of students. Very militant, but also pacifists.

Immigrants (18%): The CPA has always attracted immigrants. Mostly concerned with worker's rights and internationalism.

Authoritarian Socialists (15%): A relatively dormant group within the party. Very anti-fascist and anti-libertarian, they believe "the ends justify the means".

Social Democrats (8%): The moderate bloc of the party, less influential then before.
