Kyo Worker's Party



The Kyo Worker's Party, originally named the Communist Party of Dankuk, is an extremist syncretic and Jucheist party in the2nd Kyo Empire. Historically, the KWP was a powerful and influential force throughout Kyo and Dranish trade unions, intellectual circles, and media, eventually rising to power in the 4590s. Throughout the Communist period Dankuk went through sweeping systematic changes, including mass rioting of the working class, gender equality, universal health care, education, centralization of economy, and seizure of the means of production by the party and state. Although the Communist Party later had to begrudgingly endure several social democratic reforms throughout the later years of their reign, the party remained a strong force throughout Dankuk. However, due to the death of Pak Young Sun in 4612 and the threat of a monarchist restoration, the party was in crisis and pulled out of all offices and elections, with the politburo reconfiguring the party as an underground orginization opposed to monarchism. After the 4613 Imperial Restoration, all communist activities were extremely suppressed by the authorities as Cheon Hon Soo rose to power. After renaming the orginization the Socialist Liberation Party, Cheon's forces engaged in guerilla warfare against the Kyo Empire from 4615-4621, when Cheon fell from prominence after severe misconduct. The party later gained popularity as the Liberation Front with a republican anti-monarchist stance, abandoning what remained of the party's socialist elements. Following the rise of Kim In Sun to chairman, the party returned to it's radical leftist roots, renamed the Kyo Worker's Party, and was legalized as a legitimate political party in 4641.

Beginnings
The Communist Party of Dankuk was formally founded by Pak Young Sun in 4578 initially as the electoralist and administrative front of The Union of Dranish Workers (later The Union of Dranish Worker-Peasants), a moderately large federation of Communo-Syndicalist radical trade unions in various Dranish Industries.

Pak, being a rising leader of the agricultural faction, was tasked with setting up a legitamite political party for the Union to use to influence Dranish politics. The party quickly amassed a following among the Dranish working class and masses, allowing the union much greater influence and the ability to spread it's ideology far and wide among the populace.

However, internal conflict between Pak and Union leadership persisted, with Pak threatening to dissolve the party and form a seperate front multiple times (the Union repeatedly cut off funding in return). While Pak's policies had authoritarian tendencies, the Union under Shin Dae Hyung was strictly anarchist and communo-syndicalist. Eventually, the problem would be resolved with the purges of 4589.

The Libertarian Period
From the 4570s to 4589, the Communist party was a staunchly Libertarian Socialist orginization and the heart of the Dranish Syndicalist movement.
