Nikobar Luden (born Nikobar Amdin Baset Luden on 26 July 1852 in Achtan, Fidakar, Packilvania) was a Feline academic and political thinker who was credited as the founder of Packilvanian Communism (Packilvanian: luKomunishme aBakhilfaniya)
He was raised in a middle class household. His mother stayed at home and raised him and his 6 siblings. His father worked for the state as a clerk. He completed his primary and secondary education at King Nohadeen V Gymnasium on Achtan, Fidakar. In 1875, was accepted to study at the University of Bingol. He started a club at the University called the Community of Equality (Packilvanian: luKomun aluMasawishme) which championed values of economic and social equality. He often led protests at the University for better payment for workers.
He was arrested for 6 months, and suffered substantial mental and physical trauma from police abuse and the abuse perpetrated by his fellow inmates. Nevertheless, he encountered political prisoners and anti-Demir dissidents who further radicalised his political values and shaped his opinions. After leaving prison, he received the support of benefactors who saw him as a potential candidate for a seat in the Parliament of Packilvania.
Under the support and mentorship of Dolaam Mansoor, the owner of a politically critical newspaper, he toured the country championing his ideals and winning votes to serve in Parliament. He was especially sympathetic to and deeply passionate about the struggles of the urban workers. In this time, he published muShugul muBayis: luTalil luHaraj aleHalam ameShugul (Packilvanian meaning "The Wretched Worker: a Critical Analysis of the Conditions of Workers", known more simply as "The Wretched Worker". He called urban workers who often worked on construction sites and in factories meShugul mePerool (The Imperiled Workers) due to their poor treatment. He coined the term Peroolitariyat to describe the class of urban workers in the follow-up to the Wretched Worker entitled muShultan nadine meWayeet aDhun: meSharif aluTafaf aluTharaw wemeShugul (Packilvanian for "The Sultan and His Men: the Leaders of the Extraction of Value from Workers").
The word luPeroolitariyat entered common parlance and became a rallying cry for the urban workers who were inspired to go on strikes against their employers. The ruling Sultana at the time, Zerah Demir IV was in the process of forming the Morstopackian Union through her marriage to King Thadeus I of Great Morstaybishlia and did not tolerate dissent. She sent her assassins to kill him, but before they could reach him, he fled with a wealthy Ethalrian benefactor by the name of Inga Altenburg to Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria.
Inga Altenburg had sent Staynish versions of his works to Prof Galfridus Ferrus at the University of Lambertupol who decided to grant him a scholarship. He continued his studies at the University of Lambertupol and published a work entitled "From the Community of Equality: The Ideological Framings of a Communist Thought" (Packilvanian: weluKomun aluMasawishme: leMuasas leSlamiyishme aluFakir luKomunishme). An Ethalrian language version of this was published called Aus der Gemeinschaft der Gleichheit: Die ideologischen Rahmenbedingungen eines kommunistischen Denkens. The book was mainly an explanation of his ideological background and formative years, but it consolidated and clarified many of his beliefs. In work he "defenestrated Classical Economics" (according to Samminel Constantine, an Editor of an Economics Journal).
He died in 1902 after battling with tuberculosis. His works made their way back to Packilvania and inspired thinkers such as Gideon Muktan who later founded the Packilvanian Communist Party. His work continued to impact the policies and ideological underpinnings of the Packilvanian Communist government and he was often cited as muBa aluKomunishme (Father of Communism) and other titles.
