The People's Revolutionary Communist Party of Aerla: PRCPA (Commonspeak: Folks Revolusonarë Komunist Partei ov Ayrle: FRKPA) is a Marxist-Leninist Communist organization based in Auburn. The party, also known as the Veracek Group, aims to disestablish the capitalist and classist society of Aerla through a “People’s Revolution” and establish a communist-style government. While the organization is not banned outright, it has been labeled as a “terroristic organization” by many of those in government.

After Veracek's death in custody in 1735 AN, the party largely ceased to exist, with many of its elements breaking off into splinter groups.

Foundation

For more information on the founder of the FRKPA, see Constantine Veracek.

The FRKPA was formed in late 1720 AN by Constatine Veracek and a group of 25 followers, after they had been expelled from the Agrarian Bloc. Veracek, in an interview on Voice of Aerla’s Wake up, Aerla! morning show, declared the Agrarian Bloc was not “sufficiently revolutionary” and was not doing enough to lay the groundwork for a People’s Revolution. The Agrarian Bloc, a widely Social Democratic faction of the National Assembly, had for many years taken issue with Veracek’s radical opinions and comments and actively sought to distance themselves from his them.

Veracek and his followers soon left Noursala, setting up a party headquarters in the northern city of Auburn. Veracek proclaimed that the party would, even if elected, not send any members to the National Assembly, declaring it an “Elitist-Bourgeois institution of corruption”. From the onset, the party’s presence in Auburn was very unpopular. The party headquarters, a small office flat building, was vandalized daily. Despite this, the party’s membership soon ballooned in size owing to the headquarters proximity to the Auburn Arts College.

Split

After Veracek's arrest in 1732 AN, leadership of the party transferred to the more moderate James Lewiston. Lewiston preferred a legitimate rise to power via democratic means rather than an armed struggle that was espoused by Veracek. This caused a rift in the party, with many of the younger and more radical members breaking off to form the People's Revolutionary Armed Forces (PRAF) led by Auburn District leader Emil Pachad. Lewiston would denounce this breakaway faction, expelling its members from the party.

After Veracek's Death

Veracek would commit suicide in Noursala Men's Prison in late 1735 AN after facing a great decline in mental state during his incarceration. The party had already been facing a sharp decrease in membership ever since Veracek had been forbidden from publishing statements from jail as well as Lewiston's weak leadership. Veracek's death, however, would spell the functional end of the party. While Lewiston would continue to lead the shell of the party composed of diehard Veracek loyalists, a majority of its members would go on to form smaller splinter parties. The more radical elements of the party would go on to leave for PRAF.
