The Satrian Section of the Workers' International (SSWI) (Samundrese: सेक्शन इंटरनेशनल का सैट्रियन कर्मी, Seknā Īntaraneshanal kā Saṭrīyan Karmī), commonly known as the Satrian Section, is a is an umbrella group of socialist organisations centered in Arthasthan, although it has branches across Satria. The Section claims to be the legitimate Section for Satria rather than its Ajahadyan counterpart. The SSWI's claim is recognized by the Congress of the Workers' International and the Association for International Socialism.

The SSWI originates from a 1934 split in the original Satrian Section of the Workers' International between the Ajahadyan and Arthani factions. Led by Sheru Ramprasad, the Section was one of the main forces behind the anti-colonial movement in Satria. At the onset of the Solarian War, forces allied with the Section known as the National Liberation Army, fought against Etruria forces. The Satrian Section declared the formation of the Satrian Commandery in 1944, but it wouldn't until after the Coian Evacuation that it achieved de jure independence. The Section would rule the Commandery until its reorganisation into the United Socialist Republics of Arthasthan in 1967. The Section integrated itself into the structure of the new government, and gradually subsumed many of its functions. Today the Section functions as part of the federal government and as the primary political forum for its member organisations.

The SSWI is described by the Arthani government as "the political base of people's power" as it operates through mass participation and popular mobilisation. It has a significant role in society by promoting national unity and ethnic and religious harmony. The Section revolves around a hierarchical system of councils from the local level to the federal level, collectively known as the Pyramid, which are organized on the basis of councilism where each council elects the next-highest council. In addition, the Section's member organisations play a major role in the Section by conducting the Section's programs and policies. Representatives from its state councils and organisations meet at the annual National Section Council to determine policy and elect officials. The Congress elects the Secretariat which governs the Section when it is not in session. The Secretariat is led by the First Secretary, who is the leader of the Section and organises the Section's administration.

The Section is committed to socialism and continues to participate in the Congress of the Workers' International. According to the Section's constitution, the SSWI follows the principle of People's socialism, 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.

History

Ideology

Organisation

The organisational structure of the Section is based upon councilist principles like other 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. The Councilist system 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 operate by consensus and Collective leadership.

Section Councils

The lowest level of the Satrian Section are its Neighbourhood or Village Section Councils (NVSCs), which are directly controlled by the party's grassroots membership. Under the councilist system, the Section ultimately derives its political power from these councils. The Councils function as a open political forum where the Section's member participate in the political process through direct democracy. These section councils themselves consist of members from local subcouncils. The type of subcouncils vary across the country, but the most common ones are subcouncils of blue collar workplaces, subcouncils of white collar workplaces, and subcouncils of residential complexes. These councils collectively serve to ensure that the Satrian Section is tied to its grassroots and that the party can exert its influence at the local level.

Subdivision Section Councils (SSCs) operate in every administrative subdivision of Arthasthan; State, Division, and District. A Subdivision Section Council consists of members from various subcouncils that operate in government institutions, organisations, and businesses at the council's tier. Unlike NVSCs, these Section Councils serve to determine party policy at their tier and report news and other information to a higher tier. The members of each council are representatives elected by the members of the council of the tier below, which continue to the Section grassroots. A delegate would be recallable at any time by their sending council. Rotation of delegates are be mandatory, and delegates would be required to return to their sending councils frequently.

The highest tier of the Satrian Section in Arthasthan consists of the National Section Council, which functions as the organisation's legislative body, and the Secretariat, which functions as the Section's highest organisational and administrative body. The Secretariat is oversees other party institutions such as Section Congress, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the Central Military Commission.

The National Section Council (NSC) is the highest decision making body of the party and functions as its de facto party conference. The Council consists of around 50 representatives from Arthasthan's State Section Councils and effectively function as its legislative body. The NSC is the top forum for debate and decision-making about policy direction and issues within the Section. The NSC examines reports sent by Subdivision Section Councils to inform itself about issues effecting the party and to provide information for policy decisions. Its last major role is to elect the members of the Secretariat and to approve appointments made by the First Secretary.

The implementation of policy and party administration is handled by the Secretariat, which consists of the Section's leadership and other high party officials. The Secretariat consists of 9 elected officials and various appointed officials, led by the First Secretary ruling as first among equals. As a result, the NSC functions as a executive collective body that governs by consensus. Although the First Secretary is primarily responsible for party duties, the position wields significant influence over the party's institutions, especially under the Secretariat's purview.

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 had 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 SSWI 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 Satrian Section 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 SSWI 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 predcited that in the next provincial election cycle, SSWI-VS-affiliated legislators will form a majority in two of the three local assemblies.

Today the Vijaylan Subsection is the largest Arthani SSWI affiliated organisation outside of Arthasthan.
