The Havering People's Revolutionary Party (HPRP), formerly the Havering Revolutionary-Socialist Party and also known as the Havering Independence Party, was an unregistered left-wing Havering nationalist and socialist political party that sought to form an "Independent Republic of Havering". The party never had any elected representatives and was always led by Thomas Bricks as Chairperson of the Central Committee. It was succeeded in 2023 by the Hypersocialist Movement.
History[edit | edit source]
The Havering Revolutionary-Socialist Party was founded by Thomas Bricks in August 2022 and renamed the Havering People's Revolutionary Party in December. The party constitution was published in June 2023 with the Foundation Congress planned to be held soon. In August 2023, it was reformed into the Hypersocialist Movement
Organisation[edit | edit source]
The party constitution defined the structure and rules of the party. The main party body was the Central Committee, the Chairperson of which served as party leader, which was the highest authority between party Congresses. The party followed the principle of democratic centralism meaning decisions made by the Central Committee must be obeyed by the membership.
Policies[edit | edit source]
The party constitution officially described the party as revolutionary socialist, anti-imperialist and in favour of independence of Havering.
Nationalism, independence and the United Kingdom[edit | edit source]
The party supported the idea that the London Borough of Havering is a nation and advocated the creation of the "Independent Repiblic of Havering". The party traced the history of Havering way back to the pre-unification Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Essex and the regio/subkingdom/tribe of "Haeferingas" which would later appear in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Haueringas" which would become the Royal Liberty of Havering. This was the namesake for the London Borough of Havering created in 1965 from the Essex county districts of Romford and Hornchurch. The party described itself as patriotic and supported a national rebirth.
Havering was considered by the party a "now-inseparable" part of Greater London and it supported increased autonomy for Greater London, and Havering within it, within the United Kingdom until eventual independence. With regards to the United Kingdom as a whole, the party took a radically anti-unionist approach, supporting Irish reunification, Scottish independence, Welsh independence, etc, and the creation of a decentralised and voluntary confederation of sovereign states in Great Britain.
Constitution[edit | edit source]
The "Independent Republic of Havering" was envisioned as a unitary presidential republic dominated by the party as the dominant ruling party and the National Revolutionary Front as a front of other mass organisations. The party believed Havering would be best under control of the party but that there must still remain an opposition voice to ensure democracy.
Revolutionary socialism[edit | edit source]
The party officially supported revolutionary socialism and believed that true independence could only be attained through it. The party deemed itself revolutionary due to its support for radical structural transformation and did not support a violent revolution. The party view of socialism was based on (an un-educated view of) Marxism and practiced a form of Leninist democratic centralism (freedom of discussion, unity in action) but did not adhere to Leninism overall. The party ideology also took some aspects of the North Korean Juche idea such as the importance of self-reliance in political, economic and military affairs.
Foreign affairs[edit | edit source]
The party was anti-imperialist and opposeds the global dominance of the United States as well as potential dominance by other powers and saw economic dominance over countries as a key part of modern imperialism. The party also opposed "old-style colonialism" where a country directly controls a land without political independence or self-governance (such as the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean) and supported independence movements across the globe. The party opposed most foreign interventions and invasions and called for a replacement for the United Nations.
National Revolutionary Front[edit | edit source]
The National Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Havering was a popular front led by the Havering People's Revolutionary Party. It consisted of the following organisations:
- National Revolutionary Youth League of Havering - Youth wing
- Havering Women's Union - Women's branch
- Havering LGBTQ+ Union - LGBTQ+ branch
