Springtime of Nations II: A European Republic Quest

Things are going pretty well in the German Republic now... which might actually mean, the other shoe is about to drop. Better be prepared, just in case.

[] Moderate Democrats
-[] We won't start a fight (but we will end it)
--[] Improve both quality & quantity of our National Police, with proper accountability; including a counter-intelligence force, to keep the Okhrana and their likes at bay.
--[] Support our military with enough funding; focus on the defensive (better forts and such) so that we may deter our potential enemies, or make them bleed if they attack us.
--[] Don't take our allies for granted, keep developing those mutually beneficial relationships; support our efforts abroad with a mighty merchant marine.
--[] Cut unnecessary red tape, simplify our bureaucracy as much as we can (within reason); turn it into an even more efficient machine, something to be proud of.
--[] Make sure our economy keeps booming; review and reform our laws where necessary, close any loopholes based on recent experience.
Approve of this moddem plan, bureaucratic without being retrograde.
 
Well, plan-making seems to be more or less complete and I'm awake now, so I've moved the moratorium forward a bit. You may begin voting.
 
Huh, wonder what woke etran up early @Aedan777
[X] Radical Republicans

--[X] Use Poles trained at our Alpine Academy to infiltrate Russia and form an underground network for intelligence gathering and preparation for national liberation.
--[X] Support the creation of Junior War Clubs in high schools across Germany, where students will practice and compete against each other in mock war games. These clubs will be democratically organized, preparing students for service in the Landwehr.

[X] Social Radicals
-[X] Plan: Éirinn go Brách

--[X] Begin sending resistance fighters, agitators, and other such graduates of the training camp into Austria and Russia, to begin building up the material basis for the liberatory war soon to be waged! Begin propagandizing our own people against Austria and Russia, calling for them to remember Poland, to remember the injustice of the Civil War, and the damage they caused!
--[X] Turn the National Police into a branch of the Landwehr and rename it to National Gendarmerie. To ensure national security is overseen by the best and brightest the Republic has to offer, raise funding for the Landwehr accordingly.

[X] Vanguard Communists
-[X] War Now, not Now
--[X] Establish a National Institute for Research and Development, tasked with the development and creation of new technologies to assist the Republic and it's citizens, and is to be granted a substantial budget in order to get a leg up over our adversaries. This institute should endeavor to cooperate with all Universities in securing for it's purposes the brightest minds of the Republic with heavy material incentives.
--[X] The instatement of a peacetime industrial commission, tentatively the Industrial Production Board, tasked with engaging in stress testing with specific sectors of the economy to see how well they could handle unfavorable conditions (ie, wartime, global economic downturn, embargo etc.). These reports are to be filed for public viewing once completed, to allow for central and local planning committees to better augment these considerations into their planning.
--[X] Expand the school curriculum to include "scout" classes, aimed at fostering communal brotherhood between underaged citizens and instilling basic survival skills for those living in the growing urban areas of the Republic.
--[X] Rapidly expand public infrastructure within the Republic, roads, railways and public utilities must all be constructed to allow for greater freedom of movement of both personnel and cargo, minimizing costs of travel. Furthermore, allowing for rapid wartime conversion must be kept in mind for planning consideration.
--[X] Taking the tocsin from the German Republic's implementation, and the American Trade Unions' and Radical Republicans' advocacy, of the eight-hour day and forty-hour week, introduce a resolution that the International direct all member organizations to campaign for this reform in their own countries.

--[X] Allow state owned enterprises to sell bonds (a type of non-controlling loan) to workers at home to efficiently raise capital from the people. These bonds are to only be sold domestically, and will supply more capital to ensure growth, and start a transition towards the communalization of the enterprises.
--[X] Create several dedicated trade focused state owned enterprises in individual areas of responsibility, dedicating out commodity trading and allowing a degree of specialization.

Could I clarify "them" in this case to "marginalized peoples"?

For the Republic! Let's just not get too crazy, all right?

[X] Vanguard Communists
-[X] Engage in Domestic Class Struggle
--[X] In the most populated areas of the country, the government is to aid the people in organizing and begin attacking reactionary bourgeoise-traditionalist ideas, cultures, customs, and habits in their immediate area and come up with revolutionary alternatives, for spreading to the rest of the nation.
--[X] Build the Dortmund-Ems Canal to better aid in the production of goods in the industries of Essen.
--[X] Plan to accommodate and invite a large influx of immigrants into Germany. Plan for an additional 10 million new citizens at the end of the decade.
--[X] Establish the Department of Political Economics to study the political economies of states all over the world so we can better understand materially how they work so we can invade them better and how Germany and its allies can organize better for future class wars. Prioritize the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire and the new Balkan states.
--[X] German nationalism has fulfilled its historical role, switch from a nationalist to an internationalist identity. Immediately begin de-emphasizing nationalism in our republic until we can safely decouple the concepts of nationalism and republicanism entirely.

-[X] Do not wait until the iron is hot to strike.
--[X] We should sell army surplus weapons to rebel groups in the Imperial Federation, especially Austria.
--[X] Focus diplomatic efforts on building bridges between socialist, nationalist, and republican rebels in the Austrian Empire to form a kind of popular front, or at least a detante between factions.
--[X] Our government should attempt to recruit an assassin or assassins in Austria, in preparation for an assassination attempt on the Emperor.
--[X] We should send people to Vienna to learn the habits and schedules of the Emperor so that we can devise a plan to kill him.
--[X] We should send people to infiltrate and if possible gain control of the railworker's unions in Vienna. A railway strike, timed correctly, could paralyse the country.

De-fudged the words for the plan. I just really want us to try making a country fall apart without an official war declaration.

The S U C C reigns supreme. I prefer this plan to the plan of fellow patriot DkArthas because of it's focus on education. Technocracy is the way.

Gotta follow that party line. It also helps prepare for the war in smaller ways than simply rearming. Modernizing and reforming the army will be very important.
