Previous organization info sheets here
The establishment of a new, more democratic and participatory government has resulted in increased engagement among the masses.
(Base recruitment increased from 2k to 20k, decay changed from dynamic ~9% to a static 40%. This starts next turn, this turn's org sizes were all from the previous recruitment method. Number of actions now starts at 1 at 4k, then doubles from there, so 1 less than before, which is more than countered by fewer action-limited things and generally larger orgs.)
Mexican Union radicalism: 46
Union strength: 56 + 5 (many armed workers) + 5 (MLP militia) + 5 (incoming militia) = 71
Mexico Government radicalism: 53
Government strength: 55 + 10 (actual army) + 5 (rurales) = 70
The general strike in Mexico raged across the country. Details were only sparsely known to the North American Commonwealth, but it seemed that in the early days of the strike they managed to hold firm and demand reforms (both political and economic) despite the government cracking down on them. The Mexican Liberal Party and non-union radicals would doubtlessly use this opportunity to begin a revolution, and only time would see how it would go.
Meanwhile, the North American Commonwealth was gearing up for their first election. Held at the end of the year, it was expected the SLP would achieve a large majority, but their proportional representation system would make it possible for many parties to achieve some representation.
This turn is the rest of the year, quarter 1 already having happened. Thus you have ¾ of your funds and ¾ of your actions. Next turn will go back to full years. Your currently listed actions/funds is how many you have available for this turn.
Any player may vote for plans for two organizations. Some actions are universal and can be included in any organization's plan, others are just for one. Funds are per turn, they don't stack. Any ?s are for you to write-in a number for that action. New actions as write-ins are encouraged to be suggested at any time. Anything labeled "funds per capita" means it costs that many funds per 100k supporters per turn in maintenance.
For election actions, you may spend as many actions and funds as you'd like.
All stored funds from last turn are already included in this turn's count. All actions spent from last turn are already included in actions available.
When voting, put the organization acronym before the name of the plan like this:
[X][ACUA] Plan do stuff
[] Reorganize the organization's charter. Write-in
As the country is far different than when most organizations were founded, many are going through a deep shift. You may change the primary supporters, ideology, and add new background. Subject to QM veto. This is only available this turn.
[] Save funds for next quarter. ? funds. (Free action)
[] Require dues
--[] Small
--[] Medium
--[] Large
-[] Based on income
-[] Allow delinquent members
More dues reduces membership but increases income. Allowing delinquent members offsets the membership decrease but you also get less income. Choose a size plus whether or not the dues are based on income.
[] Make a newspaper.
-[] Local: 5 funds, -2 per turn.
-[] National: 20 funds, -10 per turn.
-[] Many local across core region: 100 funds, -20 per turn.
-[] Many local across NAC: 500 funds, -100 per turn.
Making newspapers can increase recruitment and increase the effectiveness of other actions such as putting candidates up for election. Only use an action for initial creation.
[] Stockpile guns. ? funds.
To complete is members/100. Roll 1d20 per funds. Rolling completion, decays 5% per turn representing use and action never disappears.
[] Train militia. ? cadres.
Uses 1 funds and 10 "stockpile guns" progress per cadre. Get 5d20 trained militia per cadre.
[] Organize protests about ?
Write-in option.
[] Attack organization building of ?
-[] ? times.
-[] Claim credit.
Write-in, can be an OTL organization or one of the other player organizations. Costs 1 fund per building attacked. Note if it's discovered you did it, or if you claim credit, there will be consequences.
[] Make a public campaign defaming a rival person or group.
-[] Spend ? funds.
[] Send agitators to publicly speak supporting your cause.
-[] On the streets of cities. ? funds.
-[] In the factories of cities. ? funds.
-[] To mining towns. ? funds.
-[] To the farmworkers. ? funds.
-[] In colleges and universities. ? funds.
-[] At parties of the rich. ? funds, min 20.
-[] In the lobbies of politicians. ? funds.
[] Gather signatures for an initiative, referendum, or recall vote. ? funds.
-[] Write-in cause.
Only for even years:
[] Campaign in the election. ? actions, ? funds.
-[] For the SLP.
-[] For the LLRP.
-[] For the Christian Socialist Party.
-[] For the Populist Party.
-[] For the Republican Party.
-[] For the Democratic-Populist Party.
-[] As independents.
This will increase the party's overall vote share when determining the make-up of Congress. It will also increase your organization's influence in determining the party's policy planks, the party's influence in determining policy planks against any coalition partners, and the total number of major government policy planks passed.

All-Continental Union Association:
1,965,000 supporters, 98 UF delegates6 actions, 1 unionization action
Already spent 2 actions first quarter, this is already reflected above
1500 funds
Regarding dues: Right now, supporter count is only dues paying members (where in other orgs it is all members). If you change dues to be required, I will jump the supporter count to the actual number of people in the ACUA, but the 40% decay per turn will still apply and could result in a loss of members IC representing people not feeling the need to be in a union while having democratic self management, especially in Worker Associations. It will also change some game mechanics: unionizing areas, adding more +recruitment options, etc. Changing them to medium or by income while still allowing delinquency will not cause this to happen.
[] Begin educational efforts in Worker Associations to encourage workers to reduce working hours but also expand operations and invest in better technology. ? funds, costs funds per turn. 0/5000
While Worker Associations gave the workers complete control of their workplace, many of them continued running as they had before out of the belief it was necessary for their livelihoods. In many cases Worker Associations had a culture of continuing to work longer than the 40 hour workweek "unofficially", to produce more per person and so each person would get more pay. Educating them on safer and more efficient methods and the increased productivity of shorter working hours will improve their quality of life, increase production, and reduce unemployment.
[] Begin management educational efforts in the IPA to help improve the efficiency of workplace committees through training the workers in their administrative duties and technical vocational training. ? funds, costs funds per turn. 0/10,000
The workplace committee enforced labor discipline, administered the workplace, chose sub-committees for specific tasks, etc. in a democratic manner. As the committees were made up of the workers themselves, all members of it doing both, this meant there were a great deal of undereducated workers trying to do administrative tasks they never learned how to do. It would be a massive undertaking to educate, and then continue to educate new workers, but it would make the state enterprises vastly more efficient. This would be made easier in most places due to Americans being highly literate, but the extremely low rate of literacy on plantations would make the southern agricultural IPA training difficult.
[] Establish teacher seminars for those educating the workers to be able to do so better. 40 funds, -1 per capita, +1 per die for educational actions.
[] Set up a strike fund for associated unions to increase the effectiveness of their strikes. ? funds. Current: 167
[] Immediately expel the Possibilists.
[] Cut down on internal factionalism within the ACUA, preventing a split in the industrial union. (Generally supported by membership)
With factions at odds encompassing a majority of the ACUA, more and more were looking at a potential split in the organization. While most were committed to industrial unionism, keeping it from being a problem earlier, debates between the factions over the ACUA's place in the new socialist republic and international organizing has led to some union leaders proposing a split, though even a vote on this is likely some years away.
[] Help fund/expand manufacturing. ? funds.
-[] Write in what kind and where
-[] … to be IPA/WA.
[] Start disentangling the ACUA from the Party by moving its legislative committees to be managed by the SLP itself. 5 funds.
[] Write-in directives for the Army of the Toilers. Otherwise they will just go along with local revolutionaries.
[] Organize more volunteers to join the Army of the Toilers with material backing from the army. ? funds.
Unionization Actions:
Other UF organizations may help unionize areas that they have presence in.
[] Have organizers try to unionize newly collectivized agriculture. ? funds. 0/1000
[] Have organizers try to unionize the rest of the construction industry. ? funds, 0/1500
[] Have organizers try to unionize the rest of the dockworkers and shipyards. ? funds, 0/500
[] Send organizers to help factory workers form unions. ? funds, 0/3000
[] Have organizers try to unionize the service industry. ? funds, 0/4000
[] Have organizers try to organize the timber and logging industries. ? funds, 0/800
[] Have organizers try to form an unemployed union branch. ? funds, 0/?
[] Have organizers try to unionize the other industries in Hawaii and Puerto Rico including the construction industry. ? funds, 0/50
[] Help encourage central and southern Mexico agricultural and mining workers to join the strike as it goes on. ? funds. 0/800
[] Help encourage other Mexican factory, service, and construction workers to join the strike as it goes on. ? funds. 291/3500
[] Send organizers to British Columbia to make contacts with local unions, offering support. ? funds.
For now Canadian unions won't officially join the ACUA from these actions, it's just foreign aid.
[] Try to get into western Canada, emphasizing the ACUA's ability to become Canada's One Big Union. ? funds.
[] Begin educational efforts in Worker Associations to encourage workers to reduce working hours but also expand operations and invest in better technology. ? funds, costs funds per turn. 0/5000

Mutually exclusive with the SLP version in the UF list. While many anarchists oppose even this, it has more support than governing exclusively with the statist SLP. Comparatively speaking, this has a higher percentage of lawmaking influence going to independents, so it only works on the commune scale but maintains distance from the Marxist dominated party.

The Forty Acres Movement:
2,009,000 supporters, 100 UF delegates8 actions
Already spent 1 action first quarter, this is already reflected above
1801 funds
There is a strong impetus for prison reform in the communes, as well as national law enforcement reform, which can be done in the legislative turn so long as TFAM puts effort into elections. Currently many communes have entirely gotten rid of their old police forces, with nothing to replace them, while others run more or less as they did before the revolution but with less state-backing of abuses.
[] Create training for (particularly black) new factory workers in the south. ? funds, costs funds per turn. 0/500
Mostly relevant if it's decided to focus on industrializing the south, there's currently little factory worker experience or culture, mostly limited to former prison labor. This will help agricultural workers and farmers move to the cities.
[] Expand the Black Belt newspapers. 70 funds, -14 per turn
[] Do a massive campaign in Boll Weevil affected areas to convince farmers and the IPA to switch from cotton to hemp. ? funds.
-[] Help pay for farmers to make the switch. (Optional)
This would first target areas just starting to be affected by it, hopefully stopping its spread. If the IPA switches on its own directive it will mostly target farmers.
[] Set up ranches to breed mules for the people who got their forty acres. ? funds.
-[] … as small farms. (Less efficient)

The internal combustion engine tractor was recently invented, and the only American mass-production factory for it is in Iowa, but it has the potential to revolutionize farming, being more efficient and useful than previous types. Making the south the center of production of this valuable machinery would also boost its industrial importance.

If farmers are to switch to hemp, there must be a way to make use of the new cash crop.

Mostly relevant if it's decided to focus on industrializing the south, there's currently little factory worker experience or culture, mostly limited to former prison labor. This will help agricultural workers and farmers move to the cities.

There is a strong impetus within SUS to create daycare centers, cafeterias, etc. in cities to take the place of women's housework, but that should be done in the legislative turn or continued as part of UF welfare actions.
[] Organize a Women's Day to celebrate and emphasize women's contributions to the socialist cause, and advocate for other countries to follow NAC in implementing women's suffrage, as suggested by Theresa Malkiel. 10 funds, -10 per turn.
[] Organize efforts to help advise women make use of their new rights as well as informing them of it—owning property, free ability to divorce, their illegitimate children are considered legally equal to legitimate ones, ability to vote, etc. 200 funds, 2 per capita.
[] Encourage women to go to the newly desegregated colleges and provide help in applying. 100 funds, 1 per capita.

In early '98 E. T. Kingsley and Amelia Yeomans formed the Socialist Labor Party of Canada based on De Leonist principles, active in British Columbia and Toronto. Kingsley, a disabled political activist, was an extreme impossibilist, against any political reforms including women's suffrage. Yeomans, on the other hand, was a physicist and prominent suffragist activist of Canada who radicalized when she met with the Society for Universal Suffrage in a visit to America. She represented the relatively less radical side of the organization, who wished to make reforms in the immediate. Since then the SLPC has been repressed by the government, with many organizers jailed.

After the 1903 attempted Russian Revolution and the repression, many fled to America, particularly jews and those involved in the left-wing of the Lithuanian nationalist movement, and immigration was ongoing. They, alongside the Polish Federations (whose official primary goal was revolution in Poland, split on nationalist pro-Polish Socialist Party and internationalist pro-Luxemburg's Social Democracy), Latvian Federations, Jewish Federations, Ukrainian Federations, and Russian Federations wished to give support to the revolutionaries in the Russian Empire. They were split on two proposals: one was to work to train secret paramilitary organizations to form the core of a defense force in the next revolutionary attempt, while the other supported popular education and labor activism.

Committee for Indigenous Advocacy

Already spent 2 actions first quarter, this is already reflected above
[] Set up branch offices, many permanent meeting halls in every area with a significant indigenous population and nearby cities with large amounts of non-indigenous allies. 40 funds, +1 action.
[] Re-implement and teach locals indigenous methods of working with the land, including dry farming, mixed crop farming, food forests, and more. ? funds.
Note that outside areas where indigenous people are dominant (such as the South Plains Province, formerly Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory) and had collectivized the land during the revolution, this involves talking to individual sometimes hostile farmers. They'd like to push a national or provincial policy through to collectivize the land under tribal government stewardship, which would make returning to indigenous practices easier.
[] Reach out to indigenous groups in Canada, including them in CIA aid programs. 10 funds.
[] Reach out to Alaskan indigenous groups, offering arms and trainers to help them stage a revolt against the Blue Army. 30 funds, trains up to 800 militia.
As you lack a land connection to them, this will have to be sent by pretending to be civilian traffic then marched over land, resulting in a high chance of being caught.
[] Reach out to Mexican indigenous groups, encouraging them to organize and join the revolution. ? funds.
Unlike America, Mexico has a very large fraction of their population as indigenous. Their traditional lands have been privatized, ejidos partitioned and bought by hacendados and land companies, they were kept laboring under low wages, and the government was trying to assimilate them through education. While the current conflict started between the unions and the government, many indigenous people may be convinced to side with the unions to try to get land reform done.
[] Train and arm Yaqui (and allies) warriors. 10 funds, trains ~800 militia.
The Yaqui of northern Mexico and their allies in particular exist on both sides of the border and have recrntly been at war with the Mexican government. They'll likely join the revolution anyways, if it lasts more than a few days, but can be armed as an independent force to boost the revolution's early strength and give them more of a voice.

This will increase the SLP's overall vote share when determining the make-up of Congress. It will also increase your organization's influence in determining the SLP's policy planks, the SLP's influence in determining policy planks against any coalition partners, and the total number of major government policy planks passed.

Getting the mass membership of your political organization consulted in policy making, including suggestions and when relevant aid in implementation. This will determine the total number of major government policy planks passed (if the SLP is in the governing coalition).

[] Send organizers to set up mutual aid networks and soup kitchens in Montreal. 12 funds, -4 per turn.
[] Send organizers to set up mutual aid networks and soup kitchens in Halifax. 3 funds, -1 per turn.
Although beginning as an American movement, Canada has always had close ties to their neighbors, and so it was inevitable that the American radical labor movement would spread to Canada. Although small for now, with some effort the United Front could help locals contact others and set up local mutual aid in Montreal, their biggest city and right next to the New England border or Halifax, which has strong connections with anarchist sailors. Either of these will open up completing it by progress rather than by specific location.

Votes (free actions):
[] Write-in budget plan name.
[] Have soup kitchens become managed by the
-[] communes.
-[] national state.
-[] Write-in other welfare moves
[] Keep all welfare managed by the United Front.
It has been suggested that certain welfare currently under the aegis of the United Front would be better off as government services managed by local communes. This would allow the communes to expand them as needed while taking the cost burden off from the UF to the government. It would also mean the UF's recruitment from them would decrease, but government popularity would increase. There was some concern that many communes would not be majority SLP and would mismanage the welfare or take away its position as socialist education, making some suggest it should instead be a national concern.
(Halves cost and recruitment from mutual aid + soup kitchens, as it becomes just mutual aid. Increases government stability and potentially SLP popularity.)

-[] write-in
The split in the International and rise of several socialist countries has lead to a proposition to unify all sections by name, representing that the International was one global party. There were several suggestions: Social Democratic Party, the current most common name, Socialist Labor Party, America's current name representing their leadership of the movement; Socialist Party, a simple neutral name; Communist Party, a reference to the Communist Manifesto and to the ultimate goal of achieving communism by Marxists and many anarchists; and (country) Section of the Workers' International, for increased emphasis on it being a single global party.
[] Support moving future International congresses to socialist countries.
[] Keep International congresses mostly in Europe.
-[] (Optional) Suggest a location for the next one.
With several socialist countries (America, Hawaii, Cuba, and Puerto Rico), it has been suggested that International congresses could be held more safely in them. However, the increased distance could make it more difficult for European delegates (thus far the majority of the congresses) to arrive.
[] Agree with the resolution that workers and International affiliates should demand the state provide welfare and worker protections.
[] Disagree with the resolution on state-welfare.
This was a proposal by a German delegate regarding whether the Socialist International affiliates should be pressuring the (non-proletarian) state, or those who disagree with it, who think there should only be pressure for revolution.
[] Pass the resolution with a special condemnation towards GB for their treatment of India, calling for the establishment of self-government by Indians.
[] Pass the resolution with a special condemnation towards GB for their treatment of India, calling for the establishment of self-government by Indians (under British Paramountcy).
[] Do not pass the special condemnation resolution.

[] Approve of the resolution against general strikes.
[] Approve of the resolution in favor of general strikes.
[] Oppose both resolutions.
The Social Democratic Workers' Party (Netherlands) has made two proposals, representing their internal split between the anarchists, who had recently merged into the party, and the leading Marxists of the party. One is a resolution against general strikes, that they would defeat their own object, the other in favor of them, both in response to a Dutch sympathy strike that succeeded but resulted in anti-union legislation by the government which has hurt the trade union movement.
[] Support a resolution to repudiate the revisionists.
-[] Optional write-in specific things you want in it.

The French Socialist Party has submitted a resolution to repudiate the revisionists and their opposing international. On the other hand, some delegates hoped not passing the resolution would entice them to return to the Second International.

[X] [AdP] Plan Anarcho-Communist Aztlan
-[X] Reorganize the organization's charter.
--[X] With the end of the revolutionary struggle in America, and a more secure position to look southwards to our Mexican brethren, the AdP has begun fully embracing an explicitly anarcho-communist outlook on the political situation. With the long-term association with the RFAA, the AdP is now fully committed to the liberation of the peoples of the Hispanic world, not merely that of their Mexican comrades, but even further south, to the farthest reaches of Patagonia, and the reorientation of their systems towards a decisively anarchist structure, based on the guiding principle of free association without exploitation.
-[X] Help encourage central and southern Mexico agricultural and mining workers to join the strike as it goes on. 95 funds. 0/800
-[X] Help encourage other Mexican factory, service, and construction workers to join the strike as it goes on. 300 funds. 291/3500
-[X] Establish more constant contact with the Argentine RFAA, sharing information and tactics. 5 funds, -2 per turn.
-[X] Try to campaign for Puerto Rico's new constitution. 250 funds.
--[X] Insist on a far more explicitly anarchist formation of the island, with provisions granting the formation of freely associating communes without fear of repression from the state, with these communes allowed to negotiate their position within the new state as equal members of a union, should they wish to do so. However, for the sake of unity, these communes will not be allowed the right to secede from the new island nation, limited only to the right of free association within the confines of the state.

ACUA plan at the moment:
[x][ACUA] Rump 1904 Agenda
(6/6 actions) (1/1 unionization action)
(2,015/1,500 + 515 UF funds)
-[x] Require dues
--[x] Based on income
-[x] Make a newspaper.
--[x] Many local across NAC: 900 funds, –100 per turn.
---[x] Each styled "The [Commune] Worker"
-[x] Cut down on internal factionalism within the ACUA, preventing a split in the industrial union. 10 funds.
-[x] Help encourage central and southern Mexico agricultural and mining workers to join the strike as it goes on. 85 funds. 0/800
-[x] Help encourage other Mexican factory, service, and construction workers to join the strike as it goes on. 270 funds. 291/3,500
-[x][Union] Send organizers to British Columbia to make contacts with local unions, offering support. 25 funds.
-[x] Campaign in the election for the SLP. 1 action, 725 funds.
-[x][UF] Rump 1904 Budget
-[x][UF] Keep all welfare managed by the United Front.
-[x][UF] Change the yearly May Day protests into celebrations instead.
-[x][UF] Push the International Socialist Bureau to change the location of the next IWA meeting from Amsterdam to Havana to avoid a red scare crackdown.
-[x][UF] Support renaming all International affiliates to represent one global proletarian party.
--[x] (country) Section of the Workers' International Party
-[x][UF] Support letting the ISB arrange future International congresses in any country which, in its view, has sufficient political freedom to let it meet and conduct business unmolested by the police.
-[x][UF] Disagree with the resolution on state-welfare.
--[x] Even where imperial states have granted paternalistic reforms, as in Germany, those reforms may be revoked as long as they are not defended by the people's representatives having supreme power. Fighting to preserve or gain social reform necessarily implies fighting for constitutional revolution.
-[x][UF] Pass the resolution with a special condemnation towards GB for their treatment of India, calling for the establishment of self-government by Indians.
-[x][UF] Oppose both resolutions.
--[x] Even for an absolutist state like Russia, never mind this Congress or the trade unions, forbidding the mass strike is impossible. Forswearing a general strike would only make the trade unions and workers' parties more reluctant to take leadership in mass strikes than they ought to be. But Russia, America, and indeed Holland show that mere extension of strike action is vulnerable as long as it remains economic. Workers must secure the gains of strike action by winning democratic constitutional reforms and legal protections.
-[x][UF] Support a resolution to repudiate the revisionists.
--[x] The power of the workers' movement is found only in unity, whatever faction or strategy is momentarily ascendant. The revisionists will find that the bourgeoisie bought disunity but cheaply, and will recoup its thirty pieces of silver shortly. But the gains of the revolution are inalienable.
1904 is an election year. Even if we disentangled from the SLP (which I'm not convinced we want to do at all, it is in many ways subordinate to the UF affiliates rather than the other way around, and to the ACUA more than most with its two policy committees), the UF would still need to support it to stave off any kind of return to Democratic/Republican normalcy and ACUA needs influence on its policy priorities (inter alia, building out Western industry, promoting literacy in the South, supporting the Mexican Revolution, and expanding the IPA's remit and raising wages therein). That means devoting an action and funds. It should also mean finally getting a national network of local papers. These not only help with electioneering, but also with organizational cohesion, something ACUA is in need of and in support of which we can also take anti-factionalism. The latter doesn't require funds, but gets some anyway for a bonus on the roll; making sure this goes smoothly is important.
With the new state guarantees of employment at last resort, minimum incomes, and means of subsistence, we can finally stop allowing dues delinquency. This should not only boost our funds (albeit at the cost of members), I'd like to finally be able to see how many members the ACUA actually has. The two Mexican unionizations are in direct service of the revolution and should boost our numbers a bit; the total funds invested between ACUA and AdP are complete overkill, but maybe they'll overflow into something.
The current budget's below. As of this writing, there's around 1,500 funds up for grabs, demonstrating that the UF has more money than it knows what to do with. But it will be facing a new 40% per-turn degradation in membership that it will need to offset. That is, keeping the recruitment bonus is better than saving on expenses. The May Day strikes won their ostensible demand (recognition of International Workers' Day as a public holiday in the NAC by Act of Congress), and a day off achieves the same economic effect in terms of lost production as a big strike does (a strike held on a regular day each year wouldn't even have the benefit of disrupting employers' plans, since they can easily plan around an annual event). Big celebratory parade is good. As is avoiding the Dutch police (or indeed, the German, French, or British police--the Netherlands probably couldn't keep them out even if it wanted to) while their dander is up.
For the International Congress, I'm given to understand there's a funny acronym in the works, so am holding off on the renaming question for now. Otherwise, I've mostly gone with write-ins most of which should be fairly self-explanatory. But while avoiding Red Scares is just good sense, I don't want to limit future International Congresses to socialist countries. There are yet few enough of them as it is, and what's more, not all the countries that still have political freedom are unambiguously socialist (here I'm thinking China, but especially the Philippines). Having been in that position, I suspect Naoroji is hoping to get overruled, and is only publicly accommodating "British Paramountcy" for fear of the British constabulary when he returns to either India or Britain.

--[x] Even for an absolutist state like Russia, never mind this Congress or the trade unions, forbidding the mass strike is impossible. Forswearing a general strike would only make the trade unions and workers' parties more reluctant to take leadership in mass strikes than they ought to be. But Russia, America, and indeed Holland show that mere extension of strike action is vulnerable as long as it remains economic. Workers must secure the gains of strike action by winning democratic constitutional reforms and legal protections.
-[x][UF] Support a resolution to repudiate the revisionists.
--[x] The power of the workers' movement is found only in unity, whatever faction or strategy is momentarily ascendant. The revisionists will find that the bourgeoisie bought disunity but cheaply, and will recoup its thirty pieces of silver shortly. But the gains of the revolution are inalienable.
1904 is an election year. Even if we disentangled from the SLP (which I'm not convinced we want to do at all, it is in many ways subordinate to the UF affiliates rather than the other way around, and to the ACUA more than most with its two policy committees), the UF would still need to support it to stave off any kind of return to Democratic/Republican normalcy and ACUA needs influence on its policy priorities (inter alia, building out Western industry, promoting literacy in the South, supporting the Mexican Revolution, and expanding the IPA's remit and raising wages therein). That means devoting an action and funds. It should also mean finally getting a national network of local papers. These not only help with electioneering, but also with organizational cohesion, something ACUA is in need of and in support of which we can also take anti-factionalism. The latter doesn't require funds, but gets some anyway for a bonus on the roll; making sure this goes smoothly is important.
With the new state guarantees of employment at last resort, minimum incomes, and means of subsistence, we can finally stop allowing dues delinquency. This should not only boost our funds (albeit at the cost of members), I'd like to finally be able to see how many members the ACUA actually has. The two Mexican unionizations are in direct service of the revolution and should boost our numbers a bit; the total funds invested between ACUA and AdP are complete overkill, but maybe they'll overflow into something.
The current budget's below. As of this writing, there's around 1,500 funds up for grabs, demonstrating that the UF has more money than it knows what to do with. But it will be facing a new 40% per-turn degradation in membership that it will need to offset. That is, keeping the recruitment bonus is better than saving on expenses. The May Day strikes won their ostensible demand (recognition of International Workers' Day as a public holiday in the NAC by Act of Congress), and a day off achieves the same economic effect in terms of lost production as a big strike does (a strike held on a regular day each year wouldn't even have the benefit of disrupting employers' plans, since they can easily plan around an annual event). Big celebratory parade is good. As is avoiding the Dutch police (or indeed, the German, French, or British police--the Netherlands probably couldn't keep them out even if it wanted to) while their dander is up.
For the International Congress, I'm given to understand there's a funny acronym in the works, so am holding off on the renaming question for now. Otherwise, I've mostly gone with write-ins most of which should be fairly self-explanatory. But while avoiding Red Scares is just good sense, I don't want to limit future International Congresses to socialist countries. There are yet few enough of them as it is, and what's more, not all the countries that still have political freedom are unambiguously socialist (here I'm thinking China, but especially the Philippines). Having been in that position, I suspect Naoroji is hoping to get overruled, and is only publicly accommodating "British Paramountcy" for fear of the British constabulary when he returns to either India or Britain.

I'm making one, but it's in flux as I try to figure out what actions are best.
Speaking of which, if this is being done, I should probably have one of those actions being convincing textile Worker associations to be switching to using hemp as well.

Okay, incomplete RFAA Plan Draft, subject to serious change depending on how things go.
Newspapers is to get the ball rolling on the RFAA no longer just being a Northeast-focused org (the Northeast already has a local newspaper set, so we should only need 400 Funds to finish up the rest.) Textile Mill swapping I wasn't really expecting, but if the FAM is making a big effort to swap, only fair the RFAA does its part. The Argentine Anarchists are getting funding because the 1905 Revolution is coming up, and in its aftermath the Anarchists got cracked down on pretty hard, but before that they were strong and thanks to prior support should be even stronger, so there's a good chance that with further support we can get a proper Anarchist revolution going. The MLP is getting support for its ongoing revolution, while the RFAA uses its last actions to finish the Mutual Aid and Soup Kitchen setups nationwide.
Oh, and a lot of funds go into campaigning for both the SLP and Independents. I'm doing to run by @Physici if I can have one action on elections and campaign for two separate groups (SLP and Independents.) It feels like a good way to represent the Solidarity - True Anarchist divide within the RFAA.
One action I'm iffy on though is the Small towns and villages. Starting to feel it would be better to throw that action at either helping develop industry, or doing another big Welfare action (probably for free schools if so. Education is important.) Or even convincing people to sign up for the Provincial Militia.

SPA org has its change to add in the development of Socialism within the South and general reconstruction, and the exact wording is subject to change depending on how badly I've butchered it. A Newspaper is part of this to actually reach the people of the South, alongside setting up a proper bureaucracy. Doing the SPA's thing of setting up programs to help the farmers with cooperative mills and shops (which will hopefully move into voluntary collectivization next turn.)
Militia is being re-established out of the parts of the Revolutionary Army that are demobilizing in order to defend against the Gray Army (provided that's not going to interfere with things elsewhere in the UF/Army. I assumed it wasn't because a large part of the army is demobilizing, but if it is a problem I'll swap the action out for something else) and an action campaigning for the SLP.

Actually wait, is this action still supposed to be here? We're back to year-long turns now rather than Quarters, so can we still save funds for next turn, or is it back to the pre-Revolution of how you can't save funds for future turns?

So how does enlistment in the NARA and NARAN work? Do prospective recruits just rock up to a recruiting station and boom, in the army now, or is there a "party loyalty" test that recruits need to pass first?
Is the SLP gatekeeping who can attend an officer school or can respected sergeants and non-commissioned officers mustang their way up to commissioned officer rankings?
Also, are we going with North American Red Navy or North American Red Army Navy?
Also also petition to change the name to North American Commonwealth Revolutionary People's Liberation Red Army Navy (NACRPLRAN).
Brainstorming how to add more letters to a military branch acronym.
North American Commonwealth Expeditionary Revolutionary Guards People's Liberation Red Army Navy Army Corps (American Marines for short).

One type (agri, consumer, ind, or military—you can do multiple within a category) and one region per action.
Yeah. This is actually the default, as in trying to spend everyone on the SLP makes the true-anarchists split some off towards independents, so purposely splitting it just makes that a less hostile thing and more evenly split.
I'm tentatively keeping it for now with the caveat that if you don't spend all your funds and forget to include it you don't get to keep them for next turn and that I may change my mind if it's annoying. Though I can't imagine very many cases where it would be desirable to do anymore since most actions have variable funding.
It works more or less how it did before. A "party loyalty" test doesn't make sense considering NAC isn't a one party state and the army already has non-SLP voters in it, notably the LLRP state militia. And during the civil war the SLP, LLRP, and Left-Populists (who have now split into the SLP and normal Populists) all governed together.
This would have to be a national policy action.
[]MIN
-[] Reorganize the organization's charter
—[]Supporters: Military historians, people with military background or family in military. And relatively recently, hobbyists and others. The non-professional soldier/militiaman in the RA.
—[]Structure:The old structure still remains. But, the efforts to support Minutemen on the battlefield has created a parallel structure to the main organization, one which has seen many working closely with the UF during the war. Still relatively decentralized, they are notably more military, in contrast to the more casual war game clubs the Minutemen grew alongside.
-[ ] Set up branch offices, many permanent meeting halls in towns all across Pennsylvania and nearby states. 40 funds, +1 action.
-[ ] Make new connections with Worker Association gun shops/manufacturers, as the former connections were mostly made absent due to being nationalized or being turned over to the workers. 14 funds, costs funds per turn.
-[] Help fund new startup Worker Associations using new and old dismissed theories of management, using them as part of research. 5 funds.
-[] Specifically in the south, taking advantage of its rebuilding economy.
Well. This is the possible MIN plan at the moment. May work on it more later. Reacquiring gun supply, getting meeting places, and mobilizing the management study group.
