The Bloc Socialiste was a democratic socialist party dedicated to the preservation of the welfare state, the nationalisation of all major industries, the establishment of Democratic Workers' Councils as the new medium for corporate management, the end of white supremacy, equality of opportunity and outcome under the law and in society, and the abolition of capitalism. Cassandra Duvalier, daughter of ex-party head Renard Duvalier, was the General Secretary of the party, with Richard LeClerc as her Deputy General Secretary. Although the Bloc only occasionally served as the largest party in the National Assembly, it consistently retained the largest member base of all the parties since its inception in 2177.
