Martin Jean

Martin Calixte Ghyslain Jean (10 February 1895 — 22 June 1974), better known by his name Martin Jean, was a Magisterian communist revolutionary, politician and political theorist who served as the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of Magisteria from 1946 to 1974. Under his administration, Magisteria became a communist state governed by the Communist Party and went through a devastating civil war. Ideologically a communist, he developed a variant of Marxian economics known as Jeanism.

He was responsible for leading Magisteria to a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization through the execution of a command economy and pursuing socialist reforms that led to the development of the entire country.
