The first '''International Socialist Solidarity Organization''', sometimes also called the '''First International''', was established in Vällilä, [[Vesienväl]] in 1980 in an effort to unite the world's [[wikipedia:Communist|Communist]], [[wikipedia:Socialism|Socialist]], and [[wikipedia:Social democracy|Social Democratic]] political parties into a single alliance. The organization was dissolved and replaced by an organization of [[International Socialist Solidarity Organization (2022)|the same name]] in the Treaty of Lanozza, signed on 25 April 2022.
==History==
The International Socialist Solidarity Organization was initially a project of the United Workers' Party in [[Vesienväl]], who developed the proposal unilaterally (without the buy-in of any other socialist state or party) during an era of relative political upheaval in Vesienväl. In the late 1970s, the Vesienvällic economy entered an extended period of decline. The country's insistence on reaching [[wikipedia:autarky|autarky]] meant that the availability of food and other basic goods could vary drastically seasonally. At the same time, labor unions were beginning to express concern over the government's increasingly strong, direct control of the economy (rather than a worker-managed, worker-owned model that was the goal of the Vesienvällic Revolution) and had engaged in a series of national work stoppages in 1979. The idea of a Vesienväl-led organization of international communism was the Party's initial response to quell the unrest, hoping to demonstrate with it a "rededication to the values of the Revolution." When the Vällilä Compact was signed on 10 October 1980, it had been written entirely by the Vesienvällic delegation and presented to other states to other sign or decline without any amendments.
Initial signatories to the Vällilä Compact, in addition to the United Workers' Party, were the [[Ekvatora|Ekvatori]] Petrovist Socialist League, the [[Phoenixia|Phoenixian]] Labor Movement, the Marblec Socialist Union (of [[Sorentavia]]), and Kietul Njartikt - Civic Renewal (of [[Aduraszna]]). With the relative exception of Vesienväl and Ekvatora, these initial signatories were very disparate around the world, limited in their options of expressing solidarity by the cost of moving across such distances. Membership in the organization expanded slowly: NUSCCE of [[Kurandia]] joined in 1984, the Syrtæn'at Elerist Party of [[Syrtænzna]] in 1986, the Socialist Party for Federalism of [[Ayaupia]] in 1987, and the Royalist Workers Party of the [[Federation of the Southern Coast]] in 1989. With the exceptions of the Salusz Network replacing NUSCCE and the Arcturian Socialist Party replacing Phoenixian Labor Movement in 2007, no new members would join the organization until 2020, when both [[Durakia]] and [[Ni-Rao (Raonite PDR)|South Ni-Rao]] (recognized by the organization as "Ni-Rao") joined.
The organization is generally regarded as having accomplished very little of substance.
