Due to their location in Logan and Ky's most radical town, lenonton, they began picking up an increasing amount of anarchists and extreme leftists.

For a while they were peaceful, staging moderate protests and trying to become a true political party. However, just when they were to be accepted, certain members of theirs began acting violently towards government officials and police, and they were henceforth labeled as extremists.
