The '''Kabuese Section of the Workers' International''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: Bagéan Wong Kabu saka magang internasional) is the founding and governing party of the [[South Kabu|Socialist Republic of Kabu]]. The BKMI was founded in 1939 shortly prior to the outbreak of the [[Kabu Civil War]] by members of the [[National Liberation Front of Kabu]]. The party is banned in [[North Kabu]], but also operates in the [[Estmere|Estmerish]] overseas territory of [[Kingsport]].

The party is banned in [[North Kabu]], but also operates in the [[Estmere|Estmerish]] overseas territory of [[Kingsport]].


The BKMI is commonly referred to in South Kabu as ''Partai kita'' ("Our party").
The BKMI was founded on 13 November 1919 in [[Morwall]] by former members of the [[Kabuese Socialist Party]] in-exile who were disillusioned by the slow-progress of independence. The party's members were influenced by the [[Estmerish Section of the Workers' International]] as well as the [[June Revolution]] in [[Valduvia]]. The party formed a {{wpl|Popular front|popular front}} with the [[League Against Imperialism]] in 1930 against colonial rule and later formed a brief {{wpl|Power sharing|power sharing}} government with the League in [[1940 Kabuese general election|1940]]. During the outbreak of the [[Kabu Civil War]] the following year the party and it's supporters formed a {{wpl|Socialism|socilist}} government from the traditional capital of [[Kutha Pamungkas]]. The party consolidated it's rule in the new state of South Kabu in 1947 following the war. The rule of the BKMI grew increasingly {{wpl|Authoritarianism|authoritarian}} until free elections were introduced in [[1990 South Kabuese general election|1990]] although the policy of one-party rule remained in place until 2022 when multi-party democracy was introduced.
 
The BKMI adheres to [[Sutikno Harjo]]'s 5 point plan: Unity, Freedom, Equality, Labour and Neutrality which are enshrined within the party's constitution and the constitution of South Kabu. Historically the party de jure adhered towards the idea of transforming the entire [[Kabu|Kabuese archipelago]] into a united [[Council republic|council republic]] although according to foreign experts the party, prior to 2021, followed an ideology closer towards {{wpl|Authoritarian socialism|authoritarian socialism}} whilst rejecting any attempts at political liberalisation and an end to the South Kabuese state of emergency. Factionalism within the party is extreme with each faction de facto operating as it's own separate political entity and factions competed against each other in elections. The party did not run candidates for the [[2022 South Kabuese legislative election]] but indicated it's support to many moderate councilist reformers. The party continues to operate in South Kabu and still retains influence in South Kabuese politics and life in South Kabu.
 
The party is led by the [[Kabuese Section of the Workers' International#Organisation|National Policy Group]] which includes members from all aspects of South Kabuese society and decides on the party's policies together. The party is a member of the [[Congress of the Workers' International]]. Prior to 2022 BKMI was commonly referred to in South Kabu as ''Partai kita'' ("Our party").

===Kabuenom===
'''Kabuenom''' (''Young Kabu'') was the original dominant faction within the BKMI and was instrumental in shaping the party's development and the development of [[South Kabu]] following the [[Kabu Civil War]]. The faction was led by [[Sutikno Harjo]] and was the only faction that was publicly acknowledged from 1949 to 1983. The faction was a supporter of {{wpl|Council communism|Councilism}} before it grew more authoritarian after gaining complete control of the [[National liberation front of Kabu]]. In it's later years the faction became increasingly conservative and authoritarian. The faction dissolved itself in 1984 during a period of instability within the BKMI which threatened to destroy the party.
====Continuity Kabuenom====
'''Continuity Kabuenom''' was founded in 1985 by supporters of [[Prabowo Suryo]] who wished to recreate Kabuenom. Whilst Prabowo himself was not a member of the faction he was supported by it. Following his defeat in the 1990 General election, Prabowo focused time on developing the faction's ideology. The faction became an authoritarian socialist anti-councilist movement and blocked any attempts at a change to a councilist system whilst also at the same time advocating for an aggressive foreign policy towards [[North Kabu]] including military action to retake the islands. It opposed any attempts at reconciliation with the North and was able to use it's veto powers in the National Policy Group to end all attempts at restoring links with the North. The faction was led by [[Susilo Dwi]] throughout it's entirety. Following the [[2021 South Kabuese coup d'état]] and the death of Susilo, the faction was banned and it's members were either arrested, killed in the coup or purged from the party.
===Dhéwan sejati===
'''Dhéwan sejati''' (''True councilism'') is the current dominant faction within the BKMI and the National Policy Group. The faction was founded by [[Tirto Sutikno]] in 2013 and advocates for reforms to the South Kabuese constitution, the creation of a council republic, reconciliation with North Kabu Estmere and Gaullica and economic policies to grow the middle class. Prior to 2020 it remained a relatively minor faction within the People's Senate despite Tirto being elected as President in 2015. In 2020 it became the second largest faction after Continuity Kabuenom. During the 2021 coup d'état, Tirto issued an emergency presidential decree which dismissed the National Policy Group and refounded it with a Dhéwan sejati supermajority, cementing the faction's role within the BKMI.
===Reunirukun===
'''Reunirukun''' (''Peaceful reunification'') is the second largest faction within the BKMI and is an ally of Dhéwan sejati. Reunirukun was founded in 2004 by [[Sigit Soekarno]]. The faction gained notoriety after it placed second in the 2010 general election behind Pasekuthon. Reunirukun's policies include an immediate end to the state of emergency, negotiations with North Kabu, integration with and strengthening the [[Brown Sea Community]] and liberalising South Kabuese media and society. The faction is currently led by [[Cahyo Wibowo]] who is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. According to outside observers it functions only as a satellite faction of Dhéwan sejati and many of it's members are members of both factions.
===Pasekuthon===
'''Pasekuthon''' (''Unity'') was the dominant faction of the BKMI between 2005 and 2020. It was initially founded in opposition to the policies of both the Gedhéfraksi and Continuity Kabuenom. The faction's leader [[Sunarti Riyanto]] unexpectedly won the 2005 South Kabuese election and the faction won a plurality of seats within the People's Senate. It gained a majority within the National Policy Group in the following year. The faction is against factionalism within the party and wants a united BKMI. It's main platform is encouraging civil society's involvement within the party, {{wpl|Technocracy|technocracy}} and moderate economic reforms. The faction had no official policy on North Kabu but many of it's members later became members of Dhéwan sejati or Reunirukun. The faction is currently the smallest to be represented within the National Policy Group after many of it's members joined Dhéwan sejati.
===Gedhéfraksi===
'''Gedhéfraksi''' (''Gedhé faction'') was a major faction in the BKMI between 1983 and 2006. It was initially founded by opponents of Prabowo Suryo and authoritarianism within the party. The name of the faction refers to the birthplace of [[Yudo Wiro]] and many other of the faction's leaders. After the faction won power in 1990 it implemented a series of {{wpl|Economic planning|4 year plans}} designed to boost the South Kabuese economy and make it an economically important nation within the Brown Sea. The faction shared many policies with Kabuenom including enshrining the dominance of the BKMI over all other political movements. Under the leadership of the Gedhéfraksi between 1990 and 2005 South Kabu's human rights situation worsened and the party began to loose credibility after a series of corruption scandals were publicised online. It continued to organise after 2006 and aligned itself with Continuity Kabuenom. Following the 2021 coup d'état it was dissolved and it's members were forced to resign from all positions within the party and were removed from the party in 2022.

The Kabuese Section of the Workers' International (Kabuese: Bagéan Wong Kabu saka magang internasional) is the founding and governing party of the Socialist Republic of Kabu. The BKMI was founded in 1939 shortly prior to the outbreak of the Kabu Civil War by members of the National Liberation Front of Kabu. The party is banned in North Kabu, but also operates in the Estmerish overseas territory of Kingsport.

The BKMI was founded on 13 November 1919 in Morwall by former members of the Kabuese Socialist Party in-exile who were disillusioned by the slow-progress of independence. The party's members were influenced by the Estmerish Section of the Workers' International as well as the June Revolution in Valduvia. The party formed a popular front with the League Against Imperialism in 1930 against colonial rule and later formed a brief power sharing government with the League in 1940. During the outbreak of the Kabu Civil War the following year the party and it's supporters formed a socilist government from the traditional capital of Kutha Pamungkas. The party consolidated it's rule in the new state of South Kabu in 1947 following the war. The rule of the BKMI grew increasingly authoritarian until free elections were introduced in 1990 although the policy of one-party rule remained in place until 2022 when multi-party democracy was introduced.

The BKMI adheres to Sutikno Harjo's 5 point plan: Unity, Freedom, Equality, Labour and Neutrality which are enshrined within the party's constitution and the constitution of South Kabu. Historically the party de jure adhered towards the idea of transforming the entire Kabuese archipelago into a united council republic although according to foreign experts the party, prior to 2021, followed an ideology closer towards authoritarian socialism whilst rejecting any attempts at political liberalisation and an end to the South Kabuese state of emergency. Factionalism within the party is extreme with each faction de facto operating as it's own separate political entity and factions competed against each other in elections. The party did not run candidates for the 2022 South Kabuese legislative election but indicated it's support to many moderate councilist reformers. The party continues to operate in South Kabu and still retains influence in South Kabuese politics and life in South Kabu.

The party is led by the National Policy Group which includes members from all aspects of South Kabuese society and decides on the party's policies together. The party is a member of the Congress of the Workers' International. Prior to 2022 BKMI was commonly referred to in South Kabu as Partai kita ("Our party").

The faction was led by Sutikno Harjo and was the only faction that was publicly acknowledged from 1949 to 1983. The faction was a supporter of Councilism before it grew more authoritarian after gaining complete control of the National liberation front of Kabu. In it's later years the faction became increasingly conservative and authoritarian. The faction dissolved itself in 1984 during a period of instability within the BKMI which threatened to destroy the party.

Continuity Kabuenom

Continuity Kabuenom was founded in 1985 by supporters of Prabowo Suryo who wished to recreate Kabuenom. Whilst Prabowo himself was not a member of the faction he was supported by it. Following his defeat in the 1990 General election, Prabowo focused time on developing the faction's ideology. The faction became an authoritarian socialist anti-councilist movement and blocked any attempts at a change to a councilist system whilst also at the same time advocating for an aggressive foreign policy towards North Kabu including military action to retake the islands. It opposed any attempts at reconciliation with the North and was able to use it's veto powers in the National Policy Group to end all attempts at restoring links with the North. The faction was led by Susilo Dwi throughout it's entirety. Following the 2021 South Kabuese coup d'état and the death of Susilo, the faction was banned and it's members were either arrested, killed in the coup or purged from the party.

Dhéwan sejati

Dhéwan sejati (True councilism) is the current dominant faction within the BKMI and the National Policy Group. The faction was founded by Tirto Sutikno in 2013 and advocates for reforms to the South Kabuese constitution, the creation of a council republic, reconciliation with North Kabu Estmere and Gaullica and economic policies to grow the middle class. Prior to 2020 it remained a relatively minor faction within the People's Senate despite Tirto being elected as President in 2015. In 2020 it became the second largest faction after Continuity Kabuenom. During the 2021 coup d'état, Tirto issued an emergency presidential decree which dismissed the National Policy Group and refounded it with a Dhéwan sejati supermajority, cementing the faction's role within the BKMI.

Reunirukun

Reunirukun (Peaceful reunification) is the second largest faction within the BKMI and is an ally of Dhéwan sejati. Reunirukun was founded in 2004 by Sigit Soekarno. The faction gained notoriety after it placed second in the 2010 general election behind Pasekuthon. Reunirukun's policies include an immediate end to the state of emergency, negotiations with North Kabu, integration with and strengthening the Brown Sea Community and liberalising South Kabuese media and society. The faction is currently led by Cahyo Wibowo who is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. According to outside observers it functions only as a satellite faction of Dhéwan sejati and many of it's members are members of both factions.

Pasekuthon

Pasekuthon (Unity) was the dominant faction of the BKMI between 2005 and 2020. It was initially founded in opposition to the policies of both the Gedhéfraksi and Continuity Kabuenom. The faction's leader Sunarti Riyanto unexpectedly won the 2005 South Kabuese election and the faction won a plurality of seats within the People's Senate. It gained a majority within the National Policy Group in the following year. The faction is against factionalism within the party and wants a united BKMI. It's main platform is encouraging civil society's involvement within the party, technocracy and moderate economic reforms. The faction had no official policy on North Kabu but many of it's members later became members of Dhéwan sejati or Reunirukun. The faction is currently the smallest to be represented within the National Policy Group after many of it's members joined Dhéwan sejati.

Gedhéfraksi

Gedhéfraksi (Gedhé faction) was a major faction in the BKMI between 1983 and 2006. It was initially founded by opponents of Prabowo Suryo and authoritarianism within the party. The name of the faction refers to the birthplace of Yudo Wiro and many other of the faction's leaders. After the faction won power in 1990 it implemented a series of 4 year plans designed to boost the South Kabuese economy and make it an economically important nation within the Brown Sea. The faction shared many policies with Kabuenom including enshrining the dominance of the BKMI over all other political movements. Under the leadership of the Gedhéfraksi between 1990 and 2005 South Kabu's human rights situation worsened and the party began to loose credibility after a series of corruption scandals were publicised online. It continued to organise after 2006 and aligned itself with Continuity Kabuenom. Following the 2021 coup d'état it was dissolved and it's members were forced to resign from all positions within the party and were removed from the party in 2022.
