The Asalewan Section of the Workers' International (Asalewan: Dɔwɔlawo ƒe Dukɔwo Dome Habɔbɔ ƒe Asaselewatɔwo ƒe Akpa) is the founding party in the Bahian Council Republic of Asase Lewa. Considered by most scholars to be the most influential political movement in Asase Lewa's history, the Asalewan Section of the Workers' International led the Asalewan Revolution and founded the modern Asalewan state in the 1950s and 1960s. Nearly 4.6 million people, approximately 10% of Asase Lewa's adult population, are full members of the organization, which the Asalewan public and media refer to simply as "the Section" or "our Section."
The Asalewan Section of the Workers' International traces it roots to the left-wing of the Pan-Bahian movement in the early twentieth century. After the 1907 Conference for the Promotion of the Pan-Bahian Idea, the Conference's left-wing founded the Pan-Bahian Section of the Workers' International, which later partitionied itself into Sections delineated by colonial territory in 1912. The Asalewan Section grew rapidly in the 1910s and 1920s, its membership and support base expanding from the intelligentsia to the working-class and eventually the peasantry. The Section subsquently waged the Asalewan Revolution for over thirty years, emerging victorious in 1953. The Section subsequently governed as the senior partner in a powersharing agreement and united front from 1953 to 1958, and then as the sole legal party from 1958 to 1969. The Protective-Corrective Revolution eroded the Section's influence, leading to the end of direct Section rule and the establishment of a multi-party system. The Section now no longer contests elections, but retains considerable influence over the country's politics and society. The Section enjoys the right to veto candidates in the country's elections, has de facto control over Asalewan foreign policy, and counts over 90% of Asase Lewa's population as members of its mass organizations, a virtual requirement to participate in Asalewan civic and social life.
Organizationally, the Section synthesizes a democratic centralist structure on most levels, under which open discussion is allowed on the basis of complete unity among members, with a corporatist system of representation in the Section's Presidium and Central Committee, as certain proportions of Presidium and Central Committee seats are reserved for leaders of allied segments of Asalewan society, namely the military, intelligentsia, affiliated mass organizations, and elected officials. The Presidium retains power over Asalewan foreign policy and Section affairs in-between sessions of the Section Congress, the supreme decisionmaking body on Section affairs. Section members directly elect primary party organization; higher levels in turn elect delegates up to the Section Congress through Councilist systems of representation; all of these elections occur the Three Ups, Three Downs system. The Section enjoys especially close links with the country's politically-powerful military, the People's Revolutionary Army; both institutions have considerable influence over one another and the People's Revolutionary Army was instrumental in the success over Section leaders' de facto self-coups in 1979 and 2014, which led to mass expulsions of Section members and the temporary-imposition of Section rule by decree and martial law, a legally-formalized state of exception, the Cyclical Revolution, ideologically justified through the doctrine of Perpetual-Cyclical Revolution.
Ideologically, the Section is committed to Councilism and Communism, and adheres to Nemtsovism-Tretyakism-Adelajism-Edudzism, its claimed adaptation of Nemtsovism and Councilism to Asalewan and Bahian conditions that synthesizes Nemtsovism and Councilism with Pan-Bahianism, Tretyakism, and, especially, the writings of the Section's historic leading figures Adelaja Ifedapo and Edudzi Agyeman. Since the Asalewan Revolution, the Section organized the country according to a command economy and, after the Protective-Corrective Revolution and in consultation with various rebel organizations, participatory economics. The Section retains close ties with other Councilist parties through the Congress of the Workers' International, ties supplemented since the collapse of socialism throughout the rest of Bahia in the 1970s and 1980s by attempts to forge links with other left-wing parties in Bahia and left-wing parties that the Section believes represent the interests of Bahio-Asterians in the Asterias.
