The Party and Its Role

The Party and Its Role was a speech conducted by the 2nd general secretary of the CPKA Ra-io Danh in which he made his vision of a new direction of the party towards a more mainstream communist one public.

Speech
"Dear comrades and compatriots alike, today we face a new age, a new century of revolutionary activity and the creation of reform movements in Ke-Atsung. It is in these times that we must find a group that ultimately represents our ideals, it's becoming ever clearer that we need to choose a side. At Amay, the creator of Atsun communism and founder of our party, was brutally assassinated by the believers of old, the monarchists, those who wish to re-instate the corrupt monarchy of the 19th century."

"Let them not fool you, for their struggle is of mere hatred towards progress and the eyes of modernity, but let us not bother with them, for their downfall is inevitable. Today, comrades, we are here to discuss the role of this very party, the communist party, as the sole representative of the workers and farmers of the state. We have an internal issue brewing, could be facing the party's biggest crisis since the death of Amay, but all is preventable. Change is needed, for what is a communist party without change, let us not hinder the way to progress and modernity. We are communists and will stay communists until the end of time, but there are elements within the party which are not, those who do not follow communist principles and are a threat to the continuation of the party."

"These elements hinder the party's role as the representation of workers, farmers, and others alike, and they must get rid of such. I ultimately serve as the general secretary of this party, and it is my responsibility to bring much-needed change. We will continue with the reforms of Amay, but under a new direction - a communist direction to lead Ke-Atsung into a communist victory and a revolution unlike we have ever seen. Glory to the communist party."

Reception
The speech was received poorly by the communist party and resulted in a de-facto split inside of the party, where center-right to left-wing opposition was facing Ra-io Danh's left-wing to far-right majority. The resulting split would only end once the Great War would start, and the party would unify under Ra-io's leadership once more.
