The Bartonian Socialist Party (German: Bartonische Sozialistische Partei, BSP) is a socialist political party in the Republic of Bartonia. It is, measured by number of members and influence, the largest political party in Bartonia.
History
The party was founded on September 18th, 2021, by the former leader of the Ecologist Party, Cal Sewa, who also made Bartonia a fully democratic state after ending the partly authoritarian rule of the Ecologists. He stopped being a Ecologist – though he never ceased to have environmentalist views – after he introduced himself into socialism and marxist analysis of the capitalist system. He then founded the Democratic Left of Bartonia, a democratic-socialist, not yet marxist party. On 10 April 2022 he finally changed the name and ideological stance of his party to a much more socialist and marxist one. On the same day also the structure of the party was changed and a programme and statute has been introduced.
