In 1945, the military forced Emperor Tetbe’s abdication, leading to the Republic of Esmir. The republic suffered food shortages and political turmoil during its short-lived existence until 1947 when leftists in the military launched another coup and established the Socialist Republic of Esmir. In response to the socialist takeover, and anonymous writer published ''State & Civilization'' under the pseudonym Edho Dahorian. The book, which opposed all ideologies and instead presented a concrete psychogeographical, sociopolitical, phenomenological, and ontological analysis that was at its core existentialist while borrowing from the “ideologies” of the world, “having discarded their delusions for content”. In 1948, the Legacy Order was established in Alo Yopa by university students in the church. While it was at first a group composed of thinkers on the fringe of Esmiran politics, the organization capitalized off of a wave of discontentment with the socialist regime from 1953 onward. Still, it continued to grow in popularity and began participating in protests, charity programs, and self-sufficiency initiatives for farming communities across the country. Between 1953 and 1957, the Legacy Order prepared its armed forces for an insurrection. Government intelligence uncovered the plot in 1957 and managed to capture then-leader Mautin Stuye, who was swiftly executed. Tbebe Serul, Stuye’s right-hand man, took his position as chairman of the Legacy Order and immediately began the insurrection against the socialist authority. The Orthodox Church, having been banned by the socialist regime, pledged moral support for the Legacy Order.
