The '''Satrian Section of the Workers' International''' (SSWI) ({{wp|Bhojpuri language|Samundrese}}: सेक्शन इंटरनेशनल का सैट्रियन कर्मी, ''Seknā Īntaraneshanal kā Saṭrīyan Karmī''), commonly known as the '''Satrian Section''', is a transnational {{wp|political party}} with branches across [[Satria]]. The party claims to be the legitimate Section for [[Satria]] rather than its [[Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Ajahadya)|Ajahadyan counterpart]]. The SSWI's claim is recognized by the [[Congress of the Workers' International]] and the [[Association for International Socialism]].  
The '''Satrian Section of the Workers' International''' ({{wp|Hindi Language|Matrabashi}}: ''Saṭrīyan Karmī ke Īntaraneshanal Śā́khā'', ''SKIS''), commonly known as the '''Satrian Section''', is a socialist political organisation centered in [[Arthasthan]] with several international branches. The Section claims to be the legitimate Section for [[Satria]] rather than its [[Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Anti-Revisionist)|Ajahadyan counterpart]]. The SKIS's claim is recognized by the [[Congress of the Workers' International]] and the [[Association for International Socialism]]. It has close ideological and organisational links to the older [[People's Volunteer Organisation]], an umbrella group of socialist organisations.
 
The SKIS originates from the [[People's Volunteer Organisation]] representing the leftist factions of the [[Azad Fauj]], founded during the 1920s. During the [[Arthasthan Liberation War]], PVO-led forces fought against Etruria and against various Satrian rebels to secure Arthasthan's indepedence. The Satrian Section was founded after the [[Satrian Commandery]] was reorganised into the [[Arthasthan|Arthani People's Union]] by [[Sheru Ramprasad]] in 1949. The Section established itself as a parallel and independent political organisation separated from the government. Today the Section has significance influence within Arthasthan and makes up the {{wp|deep state}} within the country known as the [[Internal State]]. Although the Satrian Section lost its hegemonic role in Arthasthani politics, the SKIS continues to plays a significant role in Arthasthani politics, economy, and society.
 
The Section is committed to socialism and continues to participate in the [[Congress of the Workers' International]]. According to the Section's constitution, the SKIS follows [[Netaji Thought]], which combines [[Culture of Arthasthan|Arthani culture]], [[Council republic|councilism]], {{wp|left-wing nationalism}}, and {{wp|Market economy|market based ideals}} into an ideology that the Section claims can guide the country to socialism. It importantly claims that Arthasthan has not yet achieved socialism and is in the process of building the basis for a future socialist system.
==Name==
In all official documentation and media produced by the party, it refers to itself as the Satrian Section or the People's Movement. Although it is not common, to differentiate it from the smaller Ajahadyan Satrian Section, international media commonly refer to the party as the Arthani-led Satrian Section or just the Arthani Satrian Section after its power base in Arthasthan. The Satrian Section itself refers to the the Satrian Section in Ajahadya, as simply "Revisionists" as a play on their name
==History==
==Ideology==
==Organisation==
The organisational structure of the Section is based upon [[Council republic|councilist]] principles like other [[Congress of the Workers' International|Sections of the Workers' International]]. The Section is organized in a hierarchical and pyramidal system of councils, known as the Pyramid (Pirmiḍ), where a council elects the members of a council the next tier up, who then elects the next tier. Under the councilist system, the Section ultimately derives its political power from these councils. It is designed to ensure that all tiers of the Satrian Section, from its local councils to the national council, is ultimately accountable to its grassroots party membership. In general, Section Councils consist around 25 members and operate by {{wp|Consensus democracy|consensus}} and governed by {{wp|collective leadership}}.
 
===Section Councils===
The lowest level of the Satrian Section are maintains a series of lower councils, known as the Revolutionary People’s Councils. A council is assigned to every local Assembly to serve as an ideological check and to represent the interests of the Satrian Section. However the Councils does allow some local ideological flexibility to preserve pragmatism and efficacy for the region. It consists of the local members of the Satrian Section and the members from the organisations of the People's Volunteer Organisation. These councils serves to coordinate and connect the Satrian Section to their grassroots members and to mobilize society with their socialist mass movements. In addition it also has a role in social welfare campaigns, such as literacy campaigns and vaccination drives.
 
These councils elect representatives to various higher councils, consisting of around fifty delegates representing RPCs in the geographical region. These regional councils consists of members from various subcouncils that operate in government institutions and businesses at the council's tier. These councils elect representatives to even higher councils, which are attached to regional governmental Congresses. Regional Councils play a similar role to the Revolutionary People’s Councils, except on a wider geographic area.
 
===Central Section Council===
The Central Section Council or the Central Council is the Satrian Section's most powerful institution and is its highest deliberative and decision-making body. According to the SKIS's constitution, the council forms the highest tier of the Section Councils and consists of around 25 representatives elected by Arthasthan's Tier Four Councils and 7 representatives from the Satrian Section's international branches. The Central Council is the top forum for national debate and decision-making about policy direction and issues that effects the entire Satrian Section. The Central Council examines reports sent by its councils and international branches to inform itself about issues effecting the party and to inform policy decisions and debate. Its last major role is to elect the members of the Secretariat and to approve further appointments made by them.
 
===Secretariat===
The [[Secretariat of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Ramprasadist)|Satrian Section Secretariat]] is the Section's executive body that serves as its highest authority. The Secretariat has an important role in setting the general agenda of the Section's national institutions and ensuring the implementation of the decisions of the Central Section Council. The Secretariat consists of nine elected officials and various appointed officials, led by the [[First Secretary of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Ramprasadist)|First Secretary]]. The body functions as a {{wp|Cabinet (government)|cabinet}}, with its members tasked with heading the Section's key offices. The Secretariat's main duties include the daily administration of the Satrian Section, the implementation of Section policy as decided by the Central Council, and appointment of officials in other party institutions. Although the Secretariat in theory is solely an administrative body, in reality it wields significant influence over the Satrian Section's institutions, and functions as the Section's leadership. Nevertheless the Secretariat is ultimately responsible to the Central Section Council and its decisions can be overridden by it.
====First Secretary====
The [[First Secretary of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Ramprasadist)|First Secretary]] of the SKIS is the chairperson of the Secretariat and the head of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International. The Section's constitution establishes the position as the party's {{wp|chief administrative officer|head administrator}}, {{wp|commander in chief}}, and {{wp|diplomat|chief diplomat}} to Arthasthan and the world. The First Secretary's duties include overseeing the activities and duties of the Secretariat, attending sessions of Section institutions, commanding the party's armed wing the [[People's Guard of Arthasthan]] and other {{wp|paramilitary|paramilitaries}}, and consulting with Arthansthan's civilian leaders. The First Secretary's power is broad, but in reality, power is shared with the Secretariat and the Central Section Council.
 
====Domestic Affairs Commission====
The Domestic Affairs Commission manages the Satrian Section's affairs within Arthasthan. Its three primary duties are directing {{wp|foreign direct investment}} and economic funds from the Satrian Section's international branches, managing the Section's organisations, and managing its relations with the civilian government and the [[Arthasthan Armed Forces|Arthani military]]. The Commission also oversees the Section's relations with elected representatives in the national, state, and local governments. Due to its central role in the Section's domestic activities in the country, the Commission is considered to be heart of the Secretariat. As a result, the Secretary of the DAC is traditionally the third highest-ranking member of Secretariat. 
 
====National Labor Commission====
The National Labor Commission manages the Satrian Section's labor relations within Arthasthan. It oversees the Satrian Section's labor organisations the Arthani Worker's Association, the Section's national federation of {{wp|Worker cooperative|worker cooperatives}} and the Federation of Labour Organisations, a coalition of Section aligned {{wp|trade union|trade unions}}. The Commission holds significant sway over the country's economy by directing the AWA to undertake economic initiatives and mediating labor disputes with the FLO. The Commission heads the Congress of Arthani Workers, which consists of representatives from the AWA, FLO, and the Commission to determine economic and labor policy..
 
====International Relations Commission====
The International Relations Commission is responsible for the Satrian Section's foreign affairs and relations. Its major roles are representing the Section in the [[Congress of the Workers' International]], representing the Section in other international affairs, and coordinating the Satrian Section's international branches. The Commission also has an addition role with gathering intelligence on, managing relations with, and attempting to influence individuals and organizations outside Arthasthan.


The SSWI originates from a 1934 split in the original Satrian Section of the Workers' International between the Ajahadyan and Arthani factions. The party was one of main forces behind the anti-colonial movement in Satria. At the onset of the [[Solarian War]], forces allied with the party known as the National Liberation Army, fought against [[Etruria]] forces. The NLA declared the formation of the [[Satrian Commandery]] in 1944, but it wouldn't until after the [[Coian Evacuation]] that it achieved ''de jure'' independence. In 1950, Section established the Republics with a Subsection of the Satrian Section for each. The Section would rule the Commandery until its reorganisation into the  United Socialist Republics of Arthasthan in 1967. The party integrated itself into the structure of the new government, and gradually subsumed many of its functions. By the 1980s, the Satrian Section and its Subsections lost their {{wp|Partisan (politics)|partisan}} role and was superseded by various formal political parties, but remained a significant part of Arthani politics. Today Section Subsection functions as part of the federal government and as the {{wp|Party conference|primary political forum}} for the socialist movement in Arthasthan. The [[United Front of the People]] political alliance uses the National Party Congress and the People's Congress to debate and decide policy.
====Central Security Commission====
The Central Security Commission is responsible for maintaining security for the Satrian Section and providing protection to high ranking officials. The commission is responsible to the Secretariat and the Central Council. The First Secretary officially heads the Commission but they usually delegate power to the Secretary of the Central Security Commission. The commission controls the Section's paramilitary wing, the [[People's Guard of Arthasthan]], and its intelligence wing, the [[Office of Intelligence and Research of Arthasthan|Office of Intelligence and Research]].


The Section is officially organized on the basis of {{wp|soviet democracy|council democracy}} where each party body elects the next-highest body and the {{wp|delegate model of representation}} where representatives must vote as their constituents wish. The party is controlled by its general party membership, who oversees to higher bodies and elects them, starting with the local party congresses. These local congresses elect regional party congresses, who in turn elects the central body of the Subsection in each Republic. In turn they elect the [[National Party Congress of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|National Party Congress]]. It meets annually to determine the national direction of the socialist movement and elect high party officials. When the National Congress is not in session, daily duties and responsibilities are vested within the Secretariat, which consists of the party's leadership and other high party officials. The Secretariat functions as a {{wp|collective leadership|collective body}} that governs by consensus, with the [[First Secretary of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|First Secretary]] ruling as {{wp|Primus inter pares|first among equals}}. Although the position is primarily responsible for civilian party duties, the First Secretary is effectively the party leader and the ''de facto'' the {{wp|head of state}} of Arthasthan. The third major party institution is the [[People's Congress of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Arthasthan)|People's Congress]] which is an assembly of representatives of various organizations affiliated with the SSWI such as labour unions, youth organizations, cultural organizations, charities, and other groups. Its main purpose is to coordinate the policies of the national government with its member organisations and provide a political forum for the entire socialist movement. Despite the generally democratic nature of the organization's structure, scholars allege that it only serves to {{wp|co-option|co-opt}} political movements that could oppose the party. In addition it also used for party-led {{wp|mass mobilization}} that allows the Section create and maintain public support.
====Central Investigation Commission====
The Central Investigation Commission is the party organ responsible for combating corruption and other wrongdoing as well as disciplining members. The Commission's most important role is to ensure that the Satrian Section remains a strict {{wp|meritocracy}} and is not effected by the Arthani {{wp|Patronage#Politics|patronage}} and kinship system. However it has been largely unsuccessful at fully curtailing corruption and patronage, especially at the lower levels of the Section. It is the only organ within the party which can sentence or condemn party members. The Commission, and its chairman and deputy chairmen, are elected by the Central Council.


The party is committed to socialism and continues to participate in the [[Congress of the Workers' International]]. According to the party constitution, the SSWI follows the principle of [[People's socialism]], which combines [[Culture of Arthasthan|Athani culture]], {{wp|Council communism|council socialism}}, {{wp|left-wing nationalism}}, and {{wp|Market economy|market based ideals}} into an ideology that the party claims can guide the country to socialism. It importantly claims that Arthasthan has not yet achieved socialism and is in the process of building the basis for a future socialist system.
====Other organs====
* Central Administration Commission: responsible for solving the organizational problems and implementing the decisions of the Central Section Council. The Secretariat oversees the work of the Departments of the Central Council. It is also responsible for coordinating the Section's actions as well as drafting and circulating party directives and internal reports between the tiers of the Satrian Section.

===Baekjeong===
Vijayla Subsection (1946-1953) (banned)<br>
 
The current Vijaylan Subsection of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International was reformed in Baekjeong in 1985 following a warming of relations between Baekjeong and Senrian-aligned Satrian states, chief among them Arthasthan. After the conclusion of the Third Satrian War, Baekjeong reclaimed its lands lost to Ajahadya in the Dakian War. This more than doubled the number of ethnic Satrians living in the country and posed a major security concern for Ogbei, given the intensity of the Satrian Insurgencies in decades past. Rather than continue the prior crackdowns and repression of Satrian culture, Baekjeong instead implemented a policy of reconciliation and mediation with its Satrian citizens. One of the earliest concessions granted was to allow the Satrian Section of the Workers' International to reform its Vijaylan branch as a political club and union.
 
The Eunyeon Compact of 1991 reaffirmed the right of the SKIS and its Subsection to exist as a unique ethnic union that represented workers of Vijayalan and Bumite heritage, the only union granted such a right. The first Subsection-affiliated assemblyman, Lee Sanjib, was elected in 1987. Following the 2004 elections, the Vijaylan Subsection was officially recognized as the ninth largest union in Baekjeong, allowing its registered members to elect seven assemblymen to union-reserved seats. As of the most recent 2019 elections, the SKIS has maintained its position as the ninth largest union, commanding seven union assemblymen, four directly elected assemblymen, and two provincial assemblymen for a total of thirteen seats out of four hundred in the Cheonrim Assembly. Membership has been on the rise, particularly in Western Bumayla, and it is predicted that in the next provincial election cycle, SKIS-VS-affiliated legislators will form a majority in two of the three local assemblies. Today the Vijaylan Subsection is the largest organisation affiliated with the Satrian Section outside of Arthasthan.

The Satrian Section of the Workers' International (Matrabashi: Saṭrīyan Karmī ke Īntaraneshanal Śā́khā, SKIS), commonly known as the Satrian Section, is a socialist political organisation centered in Arthasthan with several international branches. The Section claims to be the legitimate Section for Satria rather than its Ajahadyan counterpart. The SKIS's claim is recognized by the Congress of the Workers' International and the Association for International Socialism. It has close ideological and organisational links to the older People's Volunteer Organisation, an umbrella group of socialist organisations.

The SKIS originates from the People's Volunteer Organisation representing the leftist factions of the Azad Fauj, founded during the 1920s. During the Arthasthan Liberation War, PVO-led forces fought against Etruria and against various Satrian rebels to secure Arthasthan's indepedence. The Satrian Section was founded after the Satrian Commandery was reorganised into the Arthani People's Union by Sheru Ramprasad in 1949. The Section established itself as a parallel and independent political organisation separated from the government. Today the Section has significance influence within Arthasthan and makes up the deep state within the country known as the Internal State. Although the Satrian Section lost its hegemonic role in Arthasthani politics, the SKIS continues to plays a significant role in Arthasthani politics, economy, and society.

The Section is committed to socialism and continues to participate in the Congress of the Workers' International. According to the Section's constitution, the SKIS follows Netaji Thought, which combines Arthani culture, councilism, left-wing nationalism, and market based ideals into an ideology that the Section claims can guide the country to socialism. It importantly claims that Arthasthan has not yet achieved socialism and is in the process of building the basis for a future socialist system.

Vijayla Subsection (1946-1953) (banned)

The current Vijaylan Subsection of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International was reformed in Baekjeong in 1985 following a warming of relations between Baekjeong and Senrian-aligned Satrian states, chief among them Arthasthan. After the conclusion of the Third Satrian War, Baekjeong reclaimed its lands lost to Ajahadya in the Dakian War. This more than doubled the number of ethnic Satrians living in the country and posed a major security concern for Ogbei, given the intensity of the Satrian Insurgencies in decades past. Rather than continue the prior crackdowns and repression of Satrian culture, Baekjeong instead implemented a policy of reconciliation and mediation with its Satrian citizens. One of the earliest concessions granted was to allow the Satrian Section of the Workers' International to reform its Vijaylan branch as a political club and union.

The Eunyeon Compact of 1991 reaffirmed the right of the SKIS and its Subsection to exist as a unique ethnic union that represented workers of Vijayalan and Bumite heritage, the only union granted such a right. The first Subsection-affiliated assemblyman, Lee Sanjib, was elected in 1987. Following the 2004 elections, the Vijaylan Subsection was officially recognized as the ninth largest union in Baekjeong, allowing its registered members to elect seven assemblymen to union-reserved seats. As of the most recent 2019 elections, the SKIS has maintained its position as the ninth largest union, commanding seven union assemblymen, four directly elected assemblymen, and two provincial assemblymen for a total of thirteen seats out of four hundred in the Cheonrim Assembly. Membership has been on the rise, particularly in Western Bumayla, and it is predicted that in the next provincial election cycle, SKIS-VS-affiliated legislators will form a majority in two of the three local assemblies. Today the Vijaylan Subsection is the largest organisation affiliated with the Satrian Section outside of Arthasthan.
