Ino Welukh
Ino Welukh was a Tehanti political and economic philosopher and revolutionary, often considered to be the mother of the modern communist movement. She was a student of philosophy at the University of Batdhezufom when the First Tehanti Revolution began, and she avidly supported the republicans.
She wrote numerous pamphlets and participated in a republican student organization, but by the end of the revolution, she had become disillusioned by republicanism. In a treatise she wrote in 1228, she was the first to express the idea of class warfare that became central to communism, stating that the ideals of the revolution were a lure dangled in front of the workers by the owning class. The workers became the footsoldiers of the owning class in their war against the aristocracy, but the workers received nothing for their trouble. Welukh concluded that the workers had yet to recognize their position as a class and to actively engage in class warfare.
She would go on to write an extensive series of manuscripts and essays detailing the political and economic structures of the capitalist system and lambasting it as destructive to human potential. She died at 37 to tuberculosis, before her ideas ever caught on. However, after her death the editor of a Tehanti communist newspaper collected her writings into a book, called Capital and the Human Spirit. The book spread across Duurn and became foundational in the growth of the communist movement.
