The Miersan Section of the Workers' International (Miersan: Mierska Sekcja Międzynarodówki Robotniczej), also known by the abbreviation MSMR, was a council socialist political party in Miersa that existed from 1901 to 1967. It officially espoused council socialism, socialism with Miersan characteristics and personal national autonomy; prior to 1936 it had also advocated for Miersan independence, and could be considered Miersan nationalist.
Founded in 1901 by Miersan émigrés attending the first congress of the Workers' International, the MSMR emerged as one of the primary forces for independence in occupied Miersa. Due to the rise of the working class in industrial cities like Dyńsk and Ryża, the MSMSR was most influential in the Gaullican-occupied east, but it also organised in the Soravian-occupied west. Prior to the Great War, the party focused on organising the growing Miersan trade union movement and radicalising the Miersan working class with the aim of achieving independence through a socialist revolution and general strike.
The party was heavily repressed by the functionalist regime under Rafael Duclerque, but re-emerged in the later stages of the war, organising workers' militias to fight the Gaullicans. These were met by the advancing Soravian army with mixed reactions. After the war, the party was instrumental - alongside the KMZZ - in organising the 1936 general strike, and it was a key party privy to the ratification of the Gofredson Plan, being instrumental in the foundation of the Miersan Socialist Republic. From the foundation of the republic until its dissolution in 1967, it was the leading party in the country, effectively operating a one-party state via its control over the vetting of candidates in the country's council democracy, despite a nominal commitment to council socialism.
The party promised to end the vetting of candidates when the threat of a Western invasion had been prevented, but this and other aspects of party control were called into question following economic mismanagement, and the party lost power in the country following the Rose Revolution, in which reformist elements within the MSMR and the country at large peacefully secured control over the party apparatus. The party was officially dissolved in 1967, at the 66th annual party conference, and the East Miersan constitution was amended to ban all political parties from the the political process.
