The Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party (Stedorian: Gemotamapalet Dolcik Sogädimik), (Dolch: Dolchische Sozialistische Gemotam-Partei), is a Gemotamist political party with branches within all Dolchic nations, though the party currently only maintains power within Stedoria. The party's ideology is based on syncretic beliefs, with the party espousing left-wing, dirigist economic policies whilst also promoting right-wing social values that seek a "rebirth" of Dolchic and Stedorian society.

The party was founded by Gemotamist philosophers and thinkers Falk Jlüter and Kristof Yebalänan in 1944 and remained a relatively small political force in Stedoria owing to the government's then authoritarian, one-party regime. As a result, the party found most of its support among politically conscious Stedorian intelligentsia in exile, though the party also infiltrated government positions held by intelligentsia before seizing power, as seen in the 1971 Stedorian coup d'état.

Following the 1971 Stedorian coup d'état, the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Stedoria under the junta's leader, Läkhart Viktor Drejlär, established the Gemotam Party as Stedoria's sole legal ruling party. Attempting to foster pan-Dolchic sentiment throughout Argis and on a lower scale the rest of Eurth, the Gemotam Party further established itself as an international party, with party branches being located throughout Dolchic and Buranic nations, though these branches have failed to gain power; these parties are generally considered to be fringe parties.

After Drejlär and the Gemotam Party was outsted from power in Stedoria in 1986, the party and its supporters started a civil war in the country, lasting until 1994, in which the Gemotam Party and its supporters were defeated. The party's remaining leadership that had not been imprisoned fled to COUNTRY, where the party played a role in its opposition to the monarchy. After the Second Stedorian Revolution, the then newly-formed National Party of the Stedorian Revolution embraced Gemotamism as the party's ideology, resulting in the NPLS establishing itself as a regional branch of the Gemotam Party.

History

The Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party was founded on September 11, 1943, in Heinfeldes, Bessen-Katzenelm, by Stedorian philosopher and leader of the Dolchic Gemotam Movement, Falk Jlüter, and Dolch politician and leader of the All-Dolchic Socialist League, Paskal Hecker, along with party members of the Party of Dolchic Unity, a transnational party based in both Stedoria and Dolchland, and previously Walneria, that had previously received support from the Stedorian government during the Stedorian-Walnerian War by acting as a proxy party for the Stedorian government in Walneria prior to the war's outbreak. Jlüter's Dolchic Gemotam Movement, founded in 1937 in Stedoria, had remained a small political fringe movement until its merger, though it received popularity among some of Stedoria's generally Dolchphile intelligentsia. Much of the Gemotam Movement's actions during this time consisted primarily of further development of Gemotamist ideology rather than any interest in electoral success. Once the movements ideology and programme had been officialy decided, it was deemed it necessary for the party to merge with an already successful electoral movement to boost both the party's credibility and noteworthiness.

Paskal Hecker's All-Dolchic Socialist League had a similar support base as Jlüter's Gemotam Movement, this being among Bessen-Katzenelm's intelligentsia. Prior to its unification into the DSGP, it had seen limited electoral success in the Besser House of the Commons, primarily following the party's hard turn towards nationalist rhetoric. Hecker, also a part time political philosopher for his party, had, before the DSGP's creations, corresponded and met with Jlüter multiple times to discuss and develop political theory. Hecker, sympathising with Gemotamist policies and rhetoric, offered to merge his party with Jlüter's movement in 1938 in order to create a transnational political party operating in both Dolchland and Stedoria, believing this to be an opportunity to further spread socialist ideals throughout the Dolchic world, though Jlüter deferred Hecker's request under the premise that the Gemotam Movement was still building up its political foundations in Stedoria.

Following the Stedorian-Walnerian War, the Stedorian government for the Party of Dolchic Unity had been quickly cut off, with the party being quickly sidelined by the Stedorian government, throwing the party into disarray and leading to a mass exodus of its members. However, some of its supporter base remained as the party fervently shifted the blame onto the governing Stedorian Radical Union. Jlüter, seeing this as an opportunity to take over the Party of Dolchic Unity's position as Stedoria's pan-Dolchic political movement, quickly offered the beleaguered and battered party to merge with Jlüter and Hecker's respective parties, to which most memebers of the Party of Dolchic Unity, leaderless at this point, quickly agreed to. There was no official dissolution of the Party of Dolchic Unity however; the party simply faded away following this, with those who refused Jlüter's offer either creating their own parties or joining larger, more formidable parties.

By the time Jlüter had told Hecker of his willingness to merge parties, the new, authoritarian Fatherland Front government in Stedoria had quickly started to crack down and repress political opposition throughout Stedoria, particularly among the intelligentsia. Jlüter and much of the Gemotam's leadership fled to Dolchland in January 1941, shortly after the start of political repressions, settling in Bessen-Katzenelm. There the party was officially proclaimed, and quickly dedicated itself to the dismantling of the monarchies of Stedorian and Dolchland.

Criticisms

Accusations of authoritarianism

The Gemotam Party has been criticised by various human rights organisations, both within and outside Stedoria, for its alleged practices of democratic backsliding. Whilst it is generally accepted by human rights organisations and election observers that Stedoria's first post-revolutionary elections in 2010 met international democratic standards, following elections have been met with increasing criticism. Accusations of voter intimidation have become increasingly common with reports of Stedorian military personnel guarding polling stations. The Stedorian government has responded to this criticism by describing it as a necessary measure to protect voters from terrorism. Various opposition figures have also been arrested; prior to the 2022 Stedorian general election, leading opposition figure and leader of the Stedorian Liberal Party, Talmät Malsäg, was arrested on February 6th, 2022, by the Stedorian Committee of Public Safety on alleged charges of money laundering.

Additionally, Gemotam Party members and leaders in party branches outside of Stedoria have also come under criticism for alleged authoritarianism, primarily in the form of calling for the dismantling of their respective countries' liberal-democratic systems.

Accusations of fascism

The Gemotam Party has also come under criticism by various left-wing and left-leaning political groups and think tanks, with the DSGP often being accused of espousing a modified form of fascism. Various members of regional Gemotam parties both in Stedoria and outside the country have been accused of espousing ultranationalist rhetoric and sentiments. Additionally, Gemotamist ideology espouses a high importance on militarism within nations and a desire for individuals to subordinate their interests for the interests of society and the state, both of which are often defined as characteristics of fascism. Anti-immigrant, populist, and demogogic rhetoric has also been used by Gemotamist figures in nations outside of Stedoria.
