The '''Workers' Party''', known as ''Parti Travailleuer'' in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and ''Partei der Arbeiter'' in [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] is a {{wpl|communist}} {{wpl|political party}} in [[Yonderre]]. The party was founded in 1918 by members from the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democrats]], breaking away to pursue a more hardline form of socialism. Formed chiefly by workers in [[Toubourg]], the party grew steadily in popularity, being first represented in [[Yonderian Parliament]] in 1928. The party grew in strength throughout the [[Second Great War]] years until peaking in the 1960s. Unpopular leadership and radical changes to party line led to a steady decline in popularity through the 1970s and 80s until a faction broke off and formed the [[Red-Greens (Yonderre)|Red-Greens]] in 1985, taking with them more than a third of the WP's members. | The '''Workers' Party''', known as ''Parti Travailleuer'' in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and ''Partei der Arbeiter'' in [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] is a {{wpl|communist}} {{wpl|political party}} in [[Yonderre]].

The Workers' Party bases their politics around ''{{wpl|Stalinism|Stahlism}}'', from the Gothic ''Stahl'' meaning "steel". It runs for the [[Yonderian Parliament]] on promises of equality, wide-scale nationalisation of businesses and services and the building of communist society with the state as the only tool. It describes socialism as "an answer to the problems caused by capitalism such as non-sufficient democracy, crises, destruction of nature, inequality, racism and war" Initially preaching violent revolution and the abolishment of the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]] and the [[Catholic Church]] all together, the party has gradually sought a softer line as this position became mostly untenable in [[Yonderian politics]]. Although its electoral support has declined in recent decades, the WP retains an influence in [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] politics, especially at the local level. | The Workers' Party bases their politics around ''{{wpl|Stalinism|Stahlism}}'', from the Gothic ''Stahl'' meaning "steel".
