Socialist (also known as Socialist5650013 or Chairman Socialist) is an LTE politician and partial member of the Democratic Party. He is a former representative and Assemblyman-elect as of December and has ran for many legislative offices in the Northeast region although he is often a perennial candidate.
Socialist is a socialist politician from varying parties who is infamous for his disputable political ideas. He was noteworthy for being top of the LTE leaderboard before his levels were redacted as punishment for perjury, although he later climbed the leaderboard to reclaim his number one position yet again. Along with signing the Constitution, announced his bid for president with vice president MG435. Despite being constantly trailing in the polls and wrapped in several scandals, most notable being his controversial defense of Antifa, he persisted in the Democratic primaries. After the Democratic Debates of April 9th, however, Socialist dropped out of the Democratic Party to be an Independent in the Presidential Elections, April 2018. He dropped out of the Presidential Race to run for senator in the Northeast.

Two times has Socialist been a candidate for president, April and June under the Democratic and Communist parties respectively. During his April campaign he dropped out before voting and in June lost his primary to Lockman so therefore has never been on the general ballot for president.
With the introduction of regional governments he was elected to a legislative position in the newly created Northeast Assembly, that being his most recent elected position.
