The Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale (Etrurian: Sezione imaguana del lavoratore internazionale, Imaguan Creole: Imakua kuwa a walabeti) is a political party in Imagua and the Assimas that advocates the implementation of far-left politics. Established in 1899, it was the primary left-wing party of the Colony of Imagua from 1900 until 1909 when the Labour Party won a seat in the legislature, while the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale lost representation for the first time.

History

Establishment and early years

The Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale was established in 1899 by trade union organiser Ethel Cropper, as he believed that the colonial government as existed on the island of Imagua at that time only benefited the "Estmerish bourgeoise," and felt that the only way that all Imaguans could achieve equal rights would be for Estmere to become a socialist state. Thus, on 1 May, 1899, Cropper convened the first party congress, with Cropper being unanimously elected as the First Secretary of the party.

The party's main agenda was to nominate candidates for the Legislative Council: thus, they spent much of the year organising local chapters of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale, with Ethel Cooper to stand election for the Dockside constituency for the 1900 general elections. Despite only managing to secure ten candidates, Ethel Cropper won the Dockside constituency, allowing the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale to enter the Legislative Council.

During the next four years, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale gained support from many trade unions, especially the Dockworkers' Union which only helped boost their position in Imaguan politics.

First political peak

In the 1904 general elections, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale nominated sixty-seven candidates, with First Secretary Ethel Cropper standing for re-election. During the 1904 general election campaign, they viciously attacked both the Conservatives, and the Democrats for being too capitalistic, while attacking the Labour Party for not being sufficiently socialist enough.

Despite a vicious campaign, Cropper secured re-election, and was joined by Harlan Alardice, who was elected as representative from the constituency of Lundholm. That year, at the Second Party Congress, Ethel Cropper was re-elected First Secretary, and the party platform was further refined.

Political positions

The Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale advocates for far-left politics. To this end, it seeks to expel all foreign military bases, recognise Maracanese sovereignty over Dunhelm Island, nationalise all major industries, and adopt worker's self management.

With regards to Native Imaguans, it seeks to recognise the Imaguan language as an official language, and to restore the "traditional rights" that were removed with the passage of the Native Integration Act of 1949, while upholding indigenous citizenship.
