History

Founded in 1970 as a political party with connections to armed resistance groups against the dictatorship of Ahmed Danistarabi, it remained an underground movement until 2020 when it was legalised by the Sharifistani government.

Policies

It advocates left-wing economic, foreign and racial policies combined with conservative policies on law and order, drugs, alcohol, gambling, LGBT issues and gender relations. It is known for it's staunch anti-usury stance, for which it earns praise from both the left and conservative Islamists.

Controversy

Their leader Ahmed Ali Samale has gained controversy for his comments about homosexuals, transgenders, Jewish bankers, atheists and pig farmers.
