The '''Socialist Party''' (''Soksyalrisēx Plaiduv''), also known as the '''Socialist Party of Kiravia''' to differentiate it from its predecessors and informally as ''Kirsok'', was a socialist political party that held power in Kiravia from 21XXX to 21185, first as the leading party in the existing multiparty system, and subsequently as the ruling party of the [[Kiravian Union]], a {{wp|single-party state|single-party}} {{wp|socialist republic}}. During its rule, it presided over a large-scale economic and administrative transformation process, establishing a classic {{wp|developmental state}} and attempting social engineering projects, while pursuing a strongly {{wp|isolationism|isolationist}} foreign policy. | The '''Socialist Party''' (''Soksyalrisēx Plaiduv''), also known as the '''Socialist Party of Kiravia''' to differentiate it from its predecessors and informally as ''''Kirsok'''', was a socialist political party that held power in Kiravia from 21XXX to 21185, first as the leading party in the existing multiparty system, and subsequently as the ruling party of the [[Kiravian Union]], a {{wp|single-party state|single-party}} {{wp|socialist republic}}.

The Communist Party was split on the matter of attending the Convention. While a majority of the Central Committee believed that a broad front was needed to overthrow capitalism in the near term and that non-Marxist fellow travellers were necessary allies who would eventually come to accept Marxism, a large minority rejected close coöperation with parties they viewed as reformist, nationalist, idealist, and lacking a rigorous scientific analysis of capitalism. Half of the CPK delegates to the convention left in protest before its closing, but the CPK remnant that did not join the Socialist Party would eventually lose most of its membership to it. | The Communist Party was split on the matter of attending the Convention.

The Party's approach to the political elevation of members to positions of higher responsibility was guided by a '''philosophy of continuity of revolutionary succession''' (''motorolaxalívasémrikorisēn''), the principle that each generation of party leadership should be chosen by the previous generation of leadership in order to maintain ideological cohesion and keep the Party true to the spirit of the revolution, guarding against ideological drift and {{wp|entryism}}. In situations where a lower party organ elected members to a higher party organ (e.g. the National Committee electing the Central Committee), the lower organ conventionally deferred to the list of nominees endorsed by the higher organ. In making appointments to party offices or state bodies, as well as deciding on endorsements for elevation within the party structure, the votes of committee members were weighted according to their {{wp|degree of separation}} from the Party's founding generation of leaders. | The Party's approach to the political elevation of members to positions of higher responsibility was guided by a '''philosophy of continuity of revolutionary succession''' (''motorolaxalívasémrikorisēn''), the principle that each generation of party leadership should be chosen by the previous generation of leadership in order to maintain ideological cohesion and keep the Party true to the spirit of the revolution, guarding against ideological drift and {{wp|entryism}}.

=== | ===Social Works Bureau=== | ||
Directly responsible to the Central Committee, the Social Works Bureau (''Askolaventabūro'', abb. ''Askolabūro'') was the body charged with establishing the Party's leadership over {{wp|civil society}}, promoting Kirosocialist ideology, and advancing the Party's social and cultural goals. The two main activities of the Social Works Bureau were domestic propaganda and the management of party cells inside non-state, non-economic organisations, such as voluntary groups, "independent" universities, professional associations, and neighbourhood councils. Party auxiliaries came under the purview of the SWB, as did subordinate satellite parties like the CPKU and RCRP after [YEAR]. The Bureau was responsible for formulating and enforcing new cultural orthodoxies in literature, the arts, architecture, academic publishing, broadcasting, and other cultural fields, in service to the Party's goals of building a "socialist culture", "progressive Coscivian society", and "spiritual socialist civilisation", depending on the party line at the time. Through its network of party cells and embedded agents, the Bureau conducted extensive domestic surveillance, censored politically incorrect material, and suppressed dissidents. The Bureau was also responsible for the Party's language policy and developing the Standard Coscivian literary register, as well as for efforts to monitor, suppress, infiltrate, and coöpt religious organisations. | |||
