Chapter 60 - 1026 Report on the Status of Communist Parties by the International Communist Party Revolutionary Export Department

The International Communist Party's Revolutionary Export Department, holding high the banner of exporting the revolution, submits this compilation of the current status of communist parties across various nations to the Central Committee.

This report delineates, as of the year 1026, the conditions under which the vanguards of the revolution continue their struggle and the banners under which the peoples of each nation are gathering.

Revolution takes many forms, but its essence is uniform. It is the process by which the oppressed advance toward liberation, and the international communist movement bears the mission of converging these tributaries into one singular, powerful force.

1. Victorian Soviet Socialist Republic

As the birthplace of the revolution and the heart of the Union, the Victorian Soviet remains the stage for the most intense political competition.

Since the rapid expansion of Supreme Soviet seats after 1018, new spheres of activity have been provided for each faction.

The Social Revolutionary Workers' League has solidified support within labor unions and industrial belts, securing power directly linked to factory soviets.

The Centralist faction continues to rely on the loyalty of elders, bureaucrats, and military groups, advocating for the stable implementation of reform.

The Liberty League champions the strengthening of autonomy for city communes and residents' councils, capturing the hearts of the youth and idealists.

The Alliance for Hopeful Progress navigates through the language of statistics and urban planning, employing a strategy to maximize bargaining power between all factions.

While all this competition occurs within the legitimate spaces of elections and soviets, in reality, slogans and posters pile up in every small alleyway amid election campaigns and district-based strife.

The Communist Party of the Victorian Soviet is itself a microcosm of the international communist movement—a arena of differing routes and tactics, and a stage to test the morrow of the revolution.

2. Columbian Soviet Socialist Republic

The Communist Party of Columbia is currently locked in an all-out war with the Liberty League.

The Liberty League garners cheers from the surviving bourgeois class and parts of the urban middle class by promising tax cuts for the middle class and market liberalization.

Defining these as "bourgeois bait," the Communist Party conducts popular election campaigns centered on wage increases, expanded social security, and guaranteed housing rights.

This 6th Supreme Soviet election stands as a contest that will decide the direction of all Columbian society, transcending a mere struggle for seats.

Internally, the party comprises the same factions as the Union—Centralists, Social Revolutionary Workers' League, and the Liberty League—but seeks to form a temporary united front in the face of external pressure.

At campaign rallies, thousands of crowds gather daily to sing labor anthems, while the speaking stages of the Liberty League and the Communist Party compete just blocks apart.

The victory or defeat here will have a grave impact not just on Columbia, but on the socialist movement across all of Terra.

3. Gaul Communist Party

The situation in the Gaul Empire is bleak.

The militaristic and expansionist policies of Gaul Emperor Corsica I are devastating the lives of the people, and the revolution is filling that void.

The Gaul Socialist Party, People's Party, and Labor Party have formed and united under the "Alliance of the Communist Three Brothers."

They are directly challenging the Emperor's power by organizing general strikes and massive demonstrations.

Factories in Lingones, Paris, Lyon, and Marseille have halted, ports have fallen silent, and college campuses are blanketed with thousands of manifestos.

The Corsica regime responds with ruthless suppression, but the more they do, the wider the sparks will spread.

The Gaul Communist Party is calling for international solidarity, asserting that the revolution can no longer remain within national borders.

The revolution is growing simultaneously in the alleyways washed with blood and in the dark corridors of the golden palace of Lingones.

4. Ursus Communist Party

The Ursus Empire remains a traditional totalitarian state.

The Tsar's orders remain absolute, and the secret police traverse the cities and the countryside.

The Communist Party possesses no space for legal activity, surviving only in the form of underground cells.

Student groups, intellectual circles, and secret gatherings of peasants sprout like candlelight across cities and rural villages.

They churn out manifestos on small printing presses, risking their lives to distribute a single leaflet.

However, the contradictions spread across Ursus society are accumulating like a massive avalanche.

In cities, anarchists and syndicalists are organizing factories and ports, while in the countryside, the agitation of the Narodniks pierces the ears of the peasants.

The Communist Party is preparing to collect this massive discontent, becoming more solid under the shroud of repression.

5. Kazdel Communist Party

Kazdel is in a more specific condition than any other nation.

The Communist Party here operates while maintaining strategic cooperation with the Lord of Fiends, Theresia.

The peaceful coexistence between Sarkaz and non-Sarkaz championed by Theresia aligns precisely with the party's line.

The people are learning the language of a new coexistence, moving past generations severed by blood.

The party is expanding its power by establishing worker-peasant soviets in cities and villages, treading the line between legality and illegality under Theresia's authority.

However, contradictions within Sarkaz society, backlash from the traditionalist and military nobility, and factions wishing to preserve the old regime still loom like dark clouds.

Some party cadres continuously voice criticism to the Central Committee regarding the overly "pro-monarchist" tendencies of party members.

Though armed conflict has yet to escalate, everyone is preparing for tomorrow in the midst of tension.

The Kazdel Communist Party now stands at a critical threshold of history.

6. Bolivar Communist Party

The Bolivar Communist Party is expanding its influence by prioritizing Foco theory (base-area strategy).

Small-scale guerrillas traverse mountainous regions to contact the people, planting the seeds of revolution deep within the rural areas in the process.

The revolutionary strategy, which flows from the countryside to the cities rather than traditional urban-centric struggle, is gradually yielding results.

Although the number of party members is not large, a chain reaction is occurring where one activist organizes ten peasants, and those ten in turn move one hundred people.

An unstable political structure and the division of warlords provide an opportunity for the Communist Party.

We, the International Communist Party, are watching with interest to see this small spark grow into a massive blaze.

7. Kazimierz Communist Party

Kazimierz remains a society dominated by knights, noble Schlachta, and giant merchant groups.

Peasants are exploited, and urban laborers are cast outside the system.

However, voices of discontent are sprouting everywhere.

Borrowing from Foco theory, the Kazimierz Communist Party is organizing the party and the party's army starting from the provinces.

Peasant guerrillas and revolutionary intellectuals from the city are uniting and gradually expanding their numbers.

The red banner is not yet widely visible, but the violence of the commercial nobility drives more peasants to the side of the revolution.

The International Communist Party sees the possibility that the spark in Kazimierz will soon turn into a wildfire.

8. Siracusa Communist Party

The struggle in Siracusa is unique.

Amidst a social structure ruled by the Mafia, some cooperative elements are joining hands with the Communist Party.

This is a union of interests and, simultaneously, a contradiction of the revolution.

The lower-level networks of Mafia organizations provide the Communist Party with routes for concealment and distribution, and in return, the party secures social protection and popular support.

This unstable alliance could shatter at any time, but at this moment, red flags are hanging in slums and ports under the control of some of the city's Mafia.

Apart from the ideological contradictions of the Siracusa Communist Party, it is worth noting that they are gradually growing in power.

9. Iberia Communist Party

Iberia is wealthy.

Maritime trade, abundant resources, and superior technology support the nation, and that prosperity overwhelms other countries, including the Union.

Yet, paradoxically, within that affluence, countless idealists are sprouting, whispering the language of revolution.

The Iberian National Confederation of Trade Unions (CNT-FAI), the largest organization under the Liberty League, already possesses 100,000 trade unionists and anarchists.

They are experimenting with revolution amidst abundance by creating autonomous communes, residents' councils, and cultural collectives.

Furthermore, their enthusiastic sponsorship has become a significant source of funding for the Union and the International Communist Party.

We are convinced that this unique condition will one day become the starting point for a great transformation.

10. Victorian Imperial Communist Party

Finally, the Victorian Imperial Communist Party, which still remains on Imperial soil, is not letting go of the red banner despite extremely difficult circumstances.

Despite a large number of members immigrating to the Union after the success of the Columbia and Birmingham revolutions, approximately 40,000 party members remain or have newly joined in the Imperial heartland.

They are not recognized as a legal party, and continue their activities under the surveillance and censorship of the Imperial police.

Yet, small groups of intellectuals, laborers, and peasants stubbornly maintain their organization, passing on the memory of the revolution to the next generation.

The existence of the Imperial Communist Party is a thorn in the side of the Imperial family and the nobility, but to the people, it is a flame that does not extinguish.

Conclusion:

The status of the Communist Party in each country is different, but all roads eventually converge toward a single goal.

The election contest in the Victorian Soviet, the all-out election war in Columbia, the general strikes in Gaul, the underground cells in Ursus, the monarchy-coexistence experiment in Kazdel, the base-area strategies in Bolivar and Kazimierz, the Mafia collaboration in Siracusa, the anarchism in Iberia, and the stubborn resistance in the Victorian Empire.

All of this converges to fill the revolutionary map and history of Terra.

Revolution knows no borders.

The struggle of the people, the voice of the world, and the groans of the ruled are spoken in different languages, but in the end, they sing the same song.

And the chorus of that song is always the same.

The final victory belongs to the people.
