Left-wing Workers

History

The party was a front for the Communist Party,[1] which had used umbrella organisations to participate in politics since being banned in 1918.[2] In the 1932 elections it won five seats,[3] a decrease on the six seats the Communists had won in the 1929 elections running under the guise of the Estonian Workers' Party.[1]

Along with all others, the party was banned in 1935 following Konstantin Päts's self-coup.[4]

gollark: People would probably avoid human contact a lot more than they actually have been bothering to with COVID-19, but this hypothetical virus is twice as infectious so that would be a problem.
gollark: No, basically everyone.
