Gymnasian Party of Social Democracy (Czech: Gymnasian Party of Social Democracy, abbreviated GSSD) is a far-left political party in the Gymnasium State. In was founded in July 2020 by Jan Šťastný as an alternative to the Social Liberals, but soon started to profile itself as the main socialist party in the micronation. It has been a member of the Socialist Micronational alliance since May 2022, and acquired in the Senate in the same month.
History
Gymnasian Party of Social Democracy was founded on 25 July 2020 as Jan Šťastný believed that the Social Liberals, the sole left-wing political party until then, did not strive enough towards implementation of traditional socialist policies. The newly created party commited itself to spreading social democratic ideas in the Gymnasium State, despite the absence of the working class, a traditional target group of socialist movements, in the micronation. The party was not widely popular and Jan Šťastný remained as the only member of the party, meaning due to his age the party did not yet have representation in the Senate. In May 2022, the party became a founding member of the Socialist Micronational, a Krlesia-based alliance of left-wing parties aiming to spread the socialist movement and people's democracy among the Czech sector. The party also acquired its only seat in the Senate the same month, and participated in its first election in July, but without any success. In July 2023, the party achieved a surprising victory as Šťastný received one vote in the presidential election and, due to low turnout, was elected Premier.
