Hi, its me, Vanlalruata. To be honest, I don't even know if you guys know me that much. I mainly was just always a lurker in the comments, calling people Mussolini or making fun of various parties and factions. But I never participated in any elections, or in any wars, or what ever. Occasionally, I would post propaganda posters, but that was about it. I'm still very proud of them though, I think they turned out neat.

My greatest contribution was arguably one very early in the history of this sub: the Popular Front.

In the period I like to call Red September, a party called the Red Grits Alliance formed. A place for all socialist communists, anarchists and initially even social democrats. For the presidential election our party had formed an electoral alliance with the Progressives. However, this alliance didn't have a name yet, it was a simple endorsement. Now, this is where I played my role. I made my first posts on this subreddit, first a variant of the Einheitsfrontlied specifically written for the Progressive-Red Grit Alliance, and some time after that, a sloppy pixel art post celebrating, inspired by Manuel Azana and Leon Blum, an arrangement I referred to as the "Popular Front". The post wasn't that successful, it was poorly made and even had a typo, however, it seemed to move something within our movement. Gradually, although never even officially formulated, "Popular Front" became the name of our joint electoral ticket.

After that, I mainly made propaganda against the September Pact in a period I like to refer to as "Red September". Among these, I made a post which was among the most successful ones of the sub at the time, one proclaiming "CRUSH THE SEPTEMBER PACT" after the scandalous truths about the September Pact surfaced.

After the landslide victory of the left wing forces, I stayed active until the second presidential election, but never returned to my initial activity again. Occasionally, I would return, only to disappear again for a few weeks.

I was a man of the early DoR, and it seems I will forever stay one. I really loved this fun little project, I made friends, discovered new political perspectives, and much more. It even had an important role in my political radicalization. While I joined this project as a simple democratic socialist, now I can proudly proclaim that I am a Marxist, a socialist and a communist.

I will now spend my time in the Khanate of Tutum, where many of the friends I made are lurking.

Goodbye DoR, I loved you all.

LONG LIVE THE POPULAR FRONT!

The last one, from 1917-1923, famously failed. Do you think you will witness the next one?

It will still come out soon + 2 weeks

tbh I doubt anyone still remembers the teaser I made a while ago but if you do, rejoice!

So Labour still exists, SFIO split, but I can't really find information on what happened to the Socialist Party of Italy.

Italy is just Syndicalists, liberal socialists and fascists, the PSI seems to have vanished without a trace.
