The Progressive Socialist Party is a political party in Entropan that has been described as an alliance of democratic socialists and the Entropanian co-operative movement. The Progressive Socialist Party have been described as sitting on the left of the political spectrum, with certain factions such as the Red Socialists being described as far-left. Since its formation in 1972, the Progressive Socialists have been in the governing party or opposition in the Entropanian Parliament, or the National Council, seven times, usually in coalition with the Social Liberal Party, the Green Party, or the Social Democratic Party. The Progressive Socialist Party have had one Chairperson and one Prime Minister, the Prime Minister being Dobos Renáta and the Chairperson being Håkon Martinsen, who ascended after the 2021 general election. It is currently the governing party of Entropan.

The Progressive Socialist Party has a unique party structure, with the party having a governing body consistent of all the fee-paying members of the party, which votes on party policy and other such party-wide decisions, with all members being able to submit policy either online or at the quarterly held Progressive Socialist Conferences.

The Progressive Socialist Party was founded in 1972, as an outgrowth of the budding co-operative movement in Entropan, and to unify the Progressive Party, the Socialist Party, and the Co-operative Party, although the Co-operative Party lived on, only being linked to the Progressive Socialists electorally. Its first time in Government was in 1980, where, despite the party only holding 26 of the 600 seats in Parliament, they were made a crucial part of the second Holsen Ministry, with several members getting Cabinet positions. After Holsen's resignation in 1992 and the ascension of the 'New Left' in the Social Democratic Party, the Progressive Socialist Party detached from the Social Democrats and lived on as the Second Opposition until 2000, where they formed a coalition with the Social Democrats. After the ascension of Dobos Renáta, the Progressive Socialists became the Governing party of Entropan alongside the Green Party, the Social Liberal Party, and the Social Democratic Party, in 2012. The rise of 'participatory socialist' thought in the Progressive Socialist Party, along with a large co-operative movement and the rise of linked organisations such as the Participatory Movement, saw the rise of Håkon Martinsen, who passed through significant constitutional reform that led to the Participatory Transition in Entropan.

History

Origins and the Co-operative Movement

New Media, an Entropanian media worker co-operative, in 1968.

The Progressive Socialist Party has its origins in the Entropanian co-operative movement. The rise of co-operatism, the idea of the slow replacement of traditional corporations with worker and consumer co-operatives, was rising towards the end of the 1960s in Entropan, with many co-operatives forming, including Vernier Seafood, which grew to become the largest seafood corporation in Entropan by 1969, and Entropanian branches opened of Co-operatives Tirol, which quickly became dominant in market commerce. By 1970, over 2,132 worker and consumer co-operatives were registered within Entropan. Many groups emerged to represent the interests of the co-operative movement and the ideological attitude of co-operatism, including the Progressive Party, which represented a soft and reformist co-operatist attitude, endorsed by the largest co-operatives, the Socialist Party, which represented a hard and ideological co-operatism that was endorsed by smaller co-operatives, and the Co-operative Party, which represented a combination of the "hard" and "soft" forms of co-operatism.

In the 1968 general election, these parties gained 4 members of Parliament in total, after running 31. This prompted discussions among the leaders of each party, as well as major consumer and worker co-operatives, about how the movement could improve its luck electorally. One suggestion, made at a meeting between the leaders of each body, was to "create a unified front", merging the parties and acting as one group electorally and structurally, with ideological wings for those with differing views. Rounds of negotiations followed, and eventually, on the 7th of March 1972, after votes within each body by members to confirm, the groups formed as a single electoral body, registering with the Party Commission as the Progressive Socialist Party, with the Co-operative Party remaining a separate group, but electorally being unified with the Progressive Socialists.

1976 general election

The 1976 general election was the first time that the Progressive Socialist Party ran candidates. It ran 83 candidates in total for Parliament, and ran the party's leader, Anders Pedersen, for Prime Minister. In the election, the Progressive Socialist Party spent over ƒ300,000 (₵580,000 as of 2023) on election campaigning, including campaigns wherein workers willing to do so at certain co-operatives would pictured be paid to go canvassing or hand out leaflets in support of the party.

Overall, the Progressive Socialist Party, electorally combined with the Co-operative Party, won 8.63% of the vote, and got 31 MPs in Parliament. Over the next 4 years, they would form the Second Opposition in Parliament, alongside the Rockr National Party, although after the Leader of the Social Democratic Party, Tamás László, resigned as a the result of the findings of a Parliamentary inquiry into the Newgate scandal, the Progressive Socialists trended in line with the new leader of the Social Democratic Party, Nemes Holsen.

Coalition with the Social Democratic Party (1980-1992)

Nemes Holsen with Anders Pedersen, 1981.

In the 1980 general election, the Progressive Socialist Party ran 71 candidates for Parliament, and, despite spending more money (ƒ1,200,000, or ₵2,320,000), only gained 26 Members of Parliament, and 7.31% of the vote. Despite their small margins, several talks with Social Democratic leader Nemes Holsen resulted in the Progressive Socialists being admitted into the coalition of the First Holsen Ministry. The Progressive Socialists became a central part of the Second Holsen Ministry, with Ovllá Rástoš becoming the Minister of Labour in 1981, and Juhász Vanessza becoming the Minister of the Economy in 1983. The largest accomplishment of the Progressive Socialists while in the First Holsen Ministry was the passing of the New Housing Act in 1982, which began the construction of over 1,000,000 municipal houses for rental to low paid workers and the homeless. Legislation regarding targeting unemployment with public works programs, the expansion of education and healthcare funding, and expansion of the welfare state, were also passed.

In the 1984 general election, the Progressive Socialist Party ran 129 candiates, and managed to get 51 Members of Parliament and 12.08% of the vote, beating out the Green Party to become the third largest party in Parliament. While in the Second Holsen Ministry, Progressive Socialists continued to have a large influence on legislation of the Government, including, most significantly, the Co-operative Economy Act 1986, which implemented some of the major election promises of the Progressive Socialists, being the preferable treatment of worker and consumer co-operatives in loans, and the slashing of corporation tax for these entities.

In 1986, Bogdán Róbert, of the Progressives faction of the Progressive Socialist Party, was elected to Leader, following the resignation of then-leader Anders Pedersen.

In the 1988 general election, they ran 141 candidates, but managed reduced margins of only 43 Members of Parliament and 10.21% of the vote, however, still remaining the third largest party in Parliament. While in power, they passed multiple acts, including the Omnibus Freedom and Liberties Act 1990, which singularly legalised homosexuality, gay marriage, and crossdressing.

An aerial view of Bieraš Park, as it looks today.

The popularity of the Progressive Socialists spiked after the 1988 Bieraš Park bombing, wherein the far-right group Entropanian Institute for Justice targeted several members of the Holsen Cabinet, including Holsen himself, the Vice Minister, and the two Progressive Socialists in the Cabinet, those being the Minister of the Economy Juhász Vanessza and the Minister of Labour Ovllá Rástoš for an assassination, utilising bounding mines hooked together at the top of stairways that led out from Bieraš Park, set to be activated as the Cabinet were exiting from the park after commemorating the 81st anniversary of the 1907 Entropanian general strike at the Tower of Labour. The Progressive Socialist Minister of the Economy, Juhász Vanessza, was injured by the explosion, and the Progressive Socialist Minister of Labour, Ovllá Rástoš, was killed by the explosion.

This event managed to boost the popularity of the Progressive Socialists, who publicly memorialised Rástoš, held her funeral, and completed a package of bills Rástoš was said to be working on, working to their advantage as a large campaign ensued. In the following months after the attack, the Progressive Socialists got 4 acts through Parliament, and their polling numbers jumped by over 5 percentage points from 11.9% the month before the attack to 16.3% after the attack.

Splinter from the Social Democratic Party (1992-2001)

Lyberth, c. 2006

In 1992, Nemes Holsen resigned, and the new leader elected, Evald Lyberth, was elected on a platform of the 'New Left'. This 'New Left' platform, inspired by the rise of Dufourism and the Third Way in other Ecrosian countries, shifted the focus of the Social Democratic Party away from interventionist economic measures and the maintenance, creation, and expansion of governmental programs, towards a focus on minimisation of bureaucracy, easing governmental processes, and incentives as a replacement for regulation. Juhász Vanessza, the 1990-elected Leader of the Progressive Socialist Party, was not a fan of this change, and a motion was quickly put through the Democratic Assembly calling for public condemnation of the 'New Left', which passed, with 73.1% of the Party voting for it. And so a statement was put out, signed by Juhász Vanessza and several other high-ranking delegates of the Progressive Socialists, calling the ascension of the New Left a "travesty", saying that the Social Democratic Party had "abandon[ed] its values of freedom and the general good of the people for the disheartening adoption of an ideology that professes a completely unproven fantasy, therefore meaning that it has endangered everything that it has built."

With this, the Progressive Socialists de-linked from the Social Democratic Party, and, in the following 1992 general election, ran Juhász Vanessza as their candidate for Prime Minister and 131 candidates, getting a slightly increased margin of 56 Members of Parliament. They entered the next Parliamentary Session as part of the Second Opposition, against the Social Democratic Party majority government, and entered into coalition with the Green Party. In this position, they attacked the Social Democratic Party from the left, increasing their margin to an all-time high, with 59 Members of Parliament in the 1996 general election, despite the Møller Ruling the year before stating that donations to political parties from members of co-operatives had to be opt-in, meaning that consent could not be presumed for the donations, drying up small funds for the party.

In 1999, the Progressive Socialist Shadow Minister for the Economy, Idres Jóhannsson, along with several other party members, proposed a controversial flurry of bills, including radical ones regarding regulation and expansion of union rights that the ruling Social Democratic Party, the Progressive Socialists believed, would never support. When these bills exited committee and went into the Main Chamber of the House of Representatives for consideration, the Social Democratic Party resoundingly voted against them, offering the Progressive Socialists a way to ramp up attacks on the Social Democrats. A comprehensive media campaign was launched, where the Progressive Socialists spent over ƒ4,341,000 saved up to attack the Social Democratic Party, with Juhász Vanessza continually questioning Lyberth in General Questions, and appearing on media attacking the New Left and Lyberth.

The Lyberth-Vanessza Compromise (2001-2004)

In the 2000 general election, the Progressive Socialists ran 153 candidates, and got an all-time high number of Members of Parliament, getting 99 out of the 600 seats. The Social Democrats faced reduced margins, with only 201 Members of Parliament, and the Conservatives' coalition, including the Social Liberal Party, received 299 seats. The usual result of this would be a Conservative-led minority government, and this prompted a series of talks between Social Democratic leader Evald Lyberth and Progressive Socialist leader Juhász Vanessza, about the conditions for a coalition government. Within the meetings, a compromise was reached between the two leaders that would allow the formation of a coalition government between the Social Democrats and Progressive Socialists.

A general consensus had emerged in the meetings, that a loose coalition would be formed on a few issues that both the Social Democratic Party and the Progressive Socialist Party believed were vital, until the 2004 general election. These issues were officially announced in the jointly written manifesto "Broad Fronts: New Ideas for the 21st Century", the main issue being switching from a First-Past-the-Post system of voting with the candidate who gains the absolute largest number of votes in a single round - which some in both parties believed was responsible for the Conservatives gaining such a large coalition, despite coming 3rd in the popular vote - to a bottom-two-runoff-instant-runoff-voting system (BTR IRV), where votes are distributed to the ranked preferences of voters in subsequent runoff elections between candidates.

On this manifesto, the Social Democratic Party and the Progressive Socialist Party entered coalition together for the first time since 1991, and while in Government, they passed many of the reforms in the Broad Fronts manifesto, including referendums on the constitutional reform proposed, and implementation of certain tax subsidies and incentive structures supported broadly by both parties. The constitutional reform was the largest accomplishment of the coalition, with it being voted decisively in favour of by the populace in a referendum, officially switching the voting system. This coalition ended in the 2004 general election.

Time in Opposition (2004-2012)

In the campaigning period before the 2004 general election, the Progressive Socialists and the Social Democrats were not unified on their messaging, inflation increased by up to 10% due to the knock-on effects of hyperinflation in Creeperopolis, instability shocked the Progressive Socialists due to the rule of newly-elected radical Leader Antal Szilveszter, and scandal marred several high ranking members of the Social Democratic Party due to them reportedly taking large bribes by major foreign corporations while in Government in 2003 to push through favourable legislation, which opened up several lines of attack from the Conservative Party. This ended in the Progressive Socialist-Social Democrat coalition facing the largest left-wing defeat since 1960, with the Conservative coalition gaining 391 seats, a vast majority of the House of Representatives. However, this is also seen as a turning point for the electoral performance of the Progressive Socialist Party, as in the results of the election proper, they received 131 seats, with the Social Democrats only receiving 71 seats, meaning that the Progressive Socialists officially formed the Opposition. Rounds of talks followed, resulting in the moderated acceptance of Progressive Socialist demands by the Social Democrats, and the inclusion of the Green Party, which had got a record 5 seats in Parliament, into the coalition.

The 2008 general election followed, and due to a high public perception of the economy and the effects of various Conservative policies as well as the public debate shifting to focus on reducing fiscal deficit, the Conservatives won again, with a reduced margin, most of the seats bleeding to the Progressive Socialists or the Greens. The Progressive Socialists, despite gaining an all-time high of 140 seats in Parliament, did not pass any bills through Parliament, due to what has been officially blamed by the party as external deadlock from the Social Democrats. They were, however, key in negotiations between the Opposition coalition and the Social Liberal Party, who had served since 2004 in the Government in coalition with the Conservatives, to attempt to convince the leader of the Progress faction of the Social Liberals and then-elected Party Leader, Oláh Zalán, to change party policy and join a potential Social Liberal-Social Democrat-Progressive Socialist-Green coalition government at the time of the 2012 general election.

Leadership of Dobos Renáta and the Left coalition (2012-2017)

In the 2010 Progressive Socialist leader elections, Antal Szilveszter lost, and the new leader of the Union of Progressives faction of the Progressive Socialists, Dobos Renáta, was elected as the new party Leader. As Leader, Dobos Renáta promised several concessions to the Social Liberals in exchange for their support, and managed to win their support for coalition-forming in the 2012 general election. The result of this, and backlash against the Conservative coalition for reducing funding towards social services, was that in the 2012 general election, the newly formed Left (La Maledekstro in Esperanto) coalition between the Social Liberals, Social Democrats, Greens and Progressive Socialists received 403 seats in the Parliament.

Dobos Renáta, now Prime Minister of Entropan, authored a policy plan alongside the leaders of the other Left coalition parties, entitled "The New Transition to a Better Entropan". The policy plan laid out the agreed-upon plans of the Left coalition, including environmentalist shifts towards investment in renewable energies including their research and development, re-nationalisation of privatised industries including those for rail networks and water companies, and large-scale investment in public transportation and infrastructure. The majority of this plan was accomplished with widespread support from all parties in this coalition, although by 2014, gridlock emerged due to the Building Up Bill, a flagship bill of the coalition which would deregulate housing restrictions and directly build over 100,000 homes, which faced heavy opposition from and was eventually shut down by the Greens and Social Liberals due to its eradication of housing restrictions that ensure a "green belt" of countryside land outside of major population centres.

Rise of the Participatory Movement

Micho Visejo, speaking at the annual Progressive Socialist Conference.

In 2014, a group was founded by activist and media figure Håkon Martinsen, based on the vision of the libertarian socialist economist Micho Visejo, to group together separate self-identified or otherwise participatory socialist groups. This group, the Participatory Movement, espoused a more radical form of the hard co-operatism propagated by the then-largest faction of the Progressive Socialists, that being the Co-operative Party, wherein outside of the singular goal of transforming the economy into one which's foundations were based on worker and consumer co-operatives, they proposed a charter of new political reform, a democratically planned economy based on varying interactions between differing levels of worker and consumer councils, mediated by an Iteration Facilitation Board of economists who would give prices for goods within the economy, to arrive on a common annual plan, which would replace the market, although still retaining flexibility and the existence of money, and redistribution of jobs to "level empowerment".

Across Entropan, this group began setting up participatory budgeting initiatives, for residents of a particular area to vote on the allocation of a particular part of the local budget towards what they choosed. After such an initiative in Southern Kálmáncsa resulted in success, with residents of the city opting for further programs including democratic assemblies deciding major parts of the Southern Kálmáncsa city budget, that success was widely publicised by Participatory Movement-friendly news publications, and allowed for wider media coverage of the participatory proposals, and wider media attention focused on Håkon Martinsen, the leader of the group.

Over the next year, the movement began spreading, with major co-operatives linking to the movement and implementing some of its ideals in their own internal structure, and members of the group running in elections in 2016, in which 30 of them were elected. Most of the success of the Participatory Movement in this period is linked to their successful penetration of online spaces, including becoming central parts of progressive culture on sites such as Bitter.com. This allowed the movement to spread, and eventually publish Plan Go, a website with a plan for a Constitution of Entropan, a plan for even more radical promotion of worker co-operatives in the economy, with a formal Ministry of Economic Democracy being set up to promote co-operative bodies, and a plan for Entropan to shift from a bicameral Parliamentary democracy to become a layered federative unicameral Parliamentary semi-direct democracy, with petitions and civilian initiatives becoming a core part of the legislative process.

In 2017, a leadership election was announced, and Dobos Renáta ran against Håkon Martinsen. Martinsen beat Renáta, receiving 54.1% of the vote, and was then officially elected leader of the Progressive Socialist Party, and therefore as Prime Minister.

First and Second Martinsen Ministries (2017-2022)

In power, Martinsen set about doing a variety of things in accordance with votes by both the Democratic Assembly of the Participatory Movement and the Democratic Assembly of the Progressive Socialist Party, as well as his own executive control, including reforming the internal party structure of the Progressive Socialists, and officially adopting Plan Go as the charter of the Progressive Socialist Party. Despite bills such as the Energy Transition Act, the Transportation Act 2018, and the Internal Market Reform Act succeeding, relatively little was accomplished by Martinsen from his party charter in the first Ministry, due to heavy political opposition coming from other members of the Left coalition, with flagship bills such as the Participatory Transition Bill and the Ministerial Reform Bill causing backseat revolts from Social Liberal, Social Democratic, and Green MPs who believed Martinsen to be "too radical" and "a far cry from the stable left governance we've come to expect", according to a statement signed by multiple MPs who staged the revolt.

In the 2020 general election, Martinsen was re-elected as Prime Minister, with the second largest margin in Entropan history, with 393 Progressive Socialist MPs being elected to the House of Representatives. A historic vote on 24 January 2020 meant that the Progressive Socialists would break from the Left coalition, and govern Entropan alone.

From here, a flurry of bills were proposed, and then passed, including, most notably, the Participatory Transition Act 2021, which outlined referendums that would be held on a new Constitution that, among other things, guaranteed individual and political freedoms and secured a government focus on "expanding democratic values wherever possible, including on economic, social, political, and whatever other grounds that may be necessary for the protection of the general good", and a new Act that would completely reshuffle governance, with a transition period wherein new institutions, such as local neighbourhood councils, provincial councils, and the National Council, a unicameral replacement for the bicameral Parliament with a new mixed-member proportional representation system to decide the allocation of its 615 seats.

Both referendums passed, with the Constitution securing 70.3% of the public vote, and the political redesign securing 66.8%.

Third Martinsen Ministry (2022-present)

The new interior of the National Council building.

After a lengthy transition period wherein new buildings and institutions were being set up, the National Council, the new legislative chamber, opened on 23 March 2022. Immediately, elections were held, with a "double vote", wherein citizens had to both vote for a party, and a provincial representative. On 7 April 2022, the National Council entered its first Counselor Session, in which 360 Progressive Socialist Members of the National Council (MNCs) were elected to the National Council, out of the 175 seats.

On 10 April 2022, the Directorial Council was officially put into session, with Martinsen serving as its Chairperson, according to majority vote in the National Council.

In the year following, the membership of the Progressive Socialist Party jumped from 1,001,329 to 1,982,314, the largest increase of party membership since 2000.

Ideology

The Progressive Socialist Party is a left to far-left party. It was formed to provide political representation to democratic socialists and the co-operative movement. Underlining the entire party is the ideology of co-operatism, a socialist political ideology that advocates for the replacement of traditional firms with hierarchical structures with worker and consumer co-operatives with internal democratic structures.

Influenced by interventionist and libertarian socialist economics, the party favours government intervention in the economy, expansion of governmental programs including public works and education, and is in favour of the utilisation of taxation to redistribute incomes. A core policy tenet of the Progressive Socialist Party is also making favourable laws for worker and consumer co-operatives, using a combination of direct government influence (examples including the establishment of the Ministry of Economic Democracy in 2022) and incentive structures (examples including reducing taxation on worker co-operatives while increasing taxation on traditional forms, and implementing favourable loan arrangements for co-operative startups), however, as the percentage of co-operatives in Entropan have risen in the past decade to them constituting nearly 83% of all firms, the shift in policy from the party has gone towards the creation of government programs instead of the promotion of co-operatives.

A major rising ideology in the party is that of participatory socialism, influenced by libertarian socialist economist Micho Visejo, which favours a radical reshaping of the economy to a democratically-planned socialist one in which, instead of economic activity being determined by the market, economic activity would be determined by varying worker and consumer councils, which would send requests for collective and individual consumption and usage of capital goods based on individual and collective income, and collective production, and continue to do so until an annual plan is converged upon, mediated by Iteration Facilitation Boards to comment on the feasibility of requests and to give updated prices. Other parts of participatory socialism include the reshaping of jobs to equally distribute work that is 'onerous', and work that is 'uplifting', and distributing income based on 'time, effort, and personal sacrifice', as well as all companies having internal democracy to determine decision-making. This ideology, linked to the extra-governmental group Participatory Movement, has risen in recent years, with the leader of the Participatory Movement, Håkon Martinsen, currently being the Chairperson of Entropan, and so some of its initiatives, including the idea of participatory polity, have been majorly influential in current Progressive Socialist governance.

Internal Factions

In the party, there are internal divisions, represented by differing factions of the Party, with their own extra-councilor linked groups.
