Particular Marxists argue that [[Urcea]] is a historical aberration within the materialist reading of history and that the conditions within Urcea - particularly the existence of the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guild system]], widespread ownership of the means of production and orientation towards social benefit - make Urcea something of a fusion of the feudal, capitalist, and socialist modes of production. Particularists accordingly believe that Urcea has its own ''particular'' mode of production which transcends the materialist history applicable to nearly all other societies. Most Particularists also believe that this mode of production will not become a socialist society merely based on the forces of history, essentially freezing the country in time. Views on the Urcean mode are split within this community, with "fatalists" accepting that it is a relatively benign, if inclined towards a socially oppressive State, that is the least bad option available. The "accommodationists" also believe the Urcean mode is perhaps more benevolent than the capitalist mode, but that it must be pushed past in order to end social oppression and reach a true socialist society. The "radicals" believe that the Urcean mode is a heinous exception to historical forces that has distorted socialism in order to further oppression, both economic and social, and that it must be destroyed. | Particular Marxists argue that [[Urcea]] is a historical aberration within the materialist reading of history and that the conditions within Urcea - particularly the existence of the [[Guilds (Urcea)|guild system]], widespread ownership of the means of production and orientation towards social benefit - make Urcea something of a fusion of the feudal, capitalist, and socialist modes of production.

Particularists generally fall into two political persuasions in response to the "problem" posed by the Urcean mode of production within historical materialism; "Electoralists" and "Accelerationists". | Particularists generally fall into two political persuasions in response to the "problem" posed by the Urcean mode of production within historical materialism; "Electoralists" (more commonly referred to by the overarching tradition of Synodalism) and "Accelerationists". | ||

The Synodalist faction, sometimes called "Urcean Mode Electoralists" argues that the Urcean mode of production does not create the immediate urgency for violent revolution and that it is the responsibility of Marxist socialists to work within the [[Government of Urcea]] to improve conditions and remove various means of social oppression while also using the authority of the state to create parallel non-state institutions under which social power may eventually be transitioned and a {{wp|communist}} society be achieved. The majority of Electoralists believe that the Urcean mode can thus be peacefully transitioned - both by using State power and social organization - into a socialist society within the confines of Urcean norms, expectations, and the existing systems. Both the "fatalist" and "accommodationist" schools of thought of Particular Marxism are traditionally aligned with Synodalists. Synodalists have historically made up the large majority of all [[Urcea|Urcean]] Marxists. A form of electoralism (without all Synodalist planks) have made up the platform of the [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] and its predecessor organizations. In terms of strategy, the Synodalists are usually inclined towards soliciting support from Organic or Wittonian socialists in order to acheieve victories in the political mainstream. | The Synodalist faction, sometimes called "Urcean Mode Electoralists" argues that the Urcean mode of production does not create the immediate urgency for violent revolution and that it is the responsibility of Marxist socialists to work within the [[Government of Urcea]] to improve conditions and remove various means of social oppression while also using the authority of the state to create parallel non-state institutions under which social power may eventually be transitioned and a {{wp|communist}} society be achieved.
