Revolutionary Marxist Movement of Philadelphia

Revolutionary Marxist Movement of Philadelphia
The Revolutionary Marxist Movement of Philadelphia (RMMP) is the name of the group in control of the People's Revolutionary Republic of Philadelphia (a nation which exists in the area formerly known as Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania) and its surrounding areas (Refered to by the party as 'RMMP Outlaying Territories', it includes most of the Ex-States of New Jersey and Deleware, aswell as a significant part of South-Eastern Pennsylvania). It is under the control of a single man only known as "Comrade Shane", one of the movements origional founders.

History of the RMMP
The RMMP was founded on the 24th of December in 2004 when the Revolutionary Marxist Collective (RMC) and American People's Revolutionary Party (APRP) merged to form the largest Marxist oriented group in the tristate area. Although the RMC and APRP did not fully trust eachother, the deteriorating political situation in Philadelphia called for a single, united leftist front to be formed, and both groups recognised this. The origional leadership was based on the Leninist party model, but innital infighting between leaders of the RMMP central committee severly limited the movements operational capabilities. To queel the unrest within the leadership the only dual RMC-APRP member, Comrade Shane, was choosen as the first Chairman of the RMMP.

Apart from sprattic details, little was known about Comrade Shanes past, even by longtime associstes. The fact that he had many contacts in the police force led some to believe that he was a police informant, but his constant use of police contacts and information for both the RMC and APRP kept him in the good graces of most of the top leaders of both parties.

Comrade Shanes appointent to the Chairmanship finally allowed the RMMP membership to relax; Shane was a loyal member of both the RMC and APRP so neither side felt threatened by his leadership. In hindsight, trusting Shane was a major mistake for the RMMP Central Committee members. Ignoring his police background was their biggest mistake of all; most of the RMMPCC members were excommunicated by the party as they were being arrested and charged with major crimes. By the time the remaining RMMPCC members realised what was going on, it was far too late. On the 6 month anniversary of the founding of the RMMP Comrade Shane announced the partys split from Leninism and the liquidation of the RMMPCC. In the reorganisation of the party structure Comrade Shane was named "Commander in Chief of the Revolution" although offically the titles of "Commander" and "Chairman" were still acceptable. There was no more CC to regulate his actions; Shane was now in full control of the RMMP.

Throughout the rest of 2005 the RMMP underwent a nearly complete transformation from a political party to a civilian militia. Instead of picketing a buisness, the new RMMP simpally paid the owner a midnight visit in order to sway his opinions on whatever matter concerned the RMMP. Instead of banners and signs, RMMP members carried automatic weapons to protests. With the US economy collapsing and the city bankrupt, the local government could do nothing to stop the near daily RMMP military marches on Market st. The underfunded police department refused to arrest RMMP members as most of them were RMMP members themselves due to Comrade Shane having a background in the police force and thanks to RMMP militias assisting their fight against crime for free.

By the time the traditional national powers collapsed and the Cybernations began to appear in early 2006, the RMMP was already basically in control of Philadelphia. RMMP leadership declared the People's Revolutionary Republic of Philadelphia in Feburary of 2006 and are currently the largest group to claim control over Philadelphia county and its immediate surroundings.

After the PRR of Philadelphia was declared, the former RMMPCC members were realised from prison and invited to take up small leadership positions in the republic and its outlaying territories. All but 2 fled the RMMP controled territories, citing the fact that Comrade Shane had stolen the RMMP from its founders. Comrade Shane, whos face was at the time unknown to the majority of the people under his control, issued a statement claiming the arrests of the RMMPCC were done for the good of Marxism as a whole. The public accepted this, recognising the advances the RMMP had already made, and the issue of the illegitimacy of the RMMP leadership was dropped.

As of April 10th 2006, the RMMP has 1,773 members.
