Athens Commune

The Athens Commune is a Classical Marxist (with Trotskyist factions) political party and ex-paramilitary group in the Athenian Federation, which won three seats in the People's Congress and no Senators.

The Athens Commune was formed in 1947 as the Workers' Party of Athens after splitting from the Athens Workers' Congress at its 1947 congress over the issue of militancy and political violence - the anti-militant faction became the Athens Socialist Party, which ultimately became far more successful than the Commune.

The Athens Commune was a violent political organisation throughout the First Troubles, murdering several mayors of Athens (among other political officials) and attempting to stage a coup d'etat attempt in 1959. Additionally, it engaged in regular street battles with the Blackbird far-right militias.

As a part of the Joanhina Accords, the Commune declared a ceasefire on a permanent basis on March 30, 1966, decommissioning in the early 1970s after the Athenian Federation was created on January 1, 1970. In the modern era, AC is a fairly small political party that does not see much success outside of Pripyat, although it does get some support in areas of Athens, Cherkasy, and Novo-Arkhangelsk, as well as other major cities (excluding Norlander).
