From The Ashes of the Old: A Post-American Collapse Quest

Reader mode
Go West Young Comrade

[x ] Re-staff the Ministries: As much as one might wish it to, revolutionary zeal does not replace experience. The loss of an incredible number of bureaucrats, specialists, etc, is a great blow to the UAPR, and you need to address this post-haste. Time to begin hiring, giving rewards to loyal specialists, and begin training new cadres to fulfill these duties.
[ x] Send Troubleshooters to Cascadia: The YCL is full of bright people, but the new Cascadian government needs some experienced hands. Let's send over some hardened Communists to take over operations there and give the youth some help.
[x ] Retake Lost Towns: We must liberate the towns that have fallen to the fascists with a fresh infusion of troops. If we can re-establish a perimeter perhaps we can crush this rebellion.
 
[ ] Plan: The future is red
-[ ] Begin The Abolition of Prisons: As much as you would like to sweep away the prisons in one burst of revolutionary energy, such a step must be approached gradually for the sake of preserving the revolution. We can at least start such an affair now.
-[ ]Purge Right-Deviationists from the Party: Some of our comrades have weak stomachs, and claim we are pursuing a course of bloody Stalinism in the guise of reform. The NRC needs to take care of this post-haste.
-[ ]Replace the PIB: The Committees In Defense of Socialism are a good start, but they need structure, direction, and coordination. If the revolution is to be defended, it must have its sword and shield.

It is clear our glorious and entirely stable plans are being undermined by far right Deviationists. This must be delt with immediately, There will be no victory on the warfront, no food on the home front and certainly no red dawn so long as they draw breath. Besides, we did promise to abolish prisons.

We've got to get the bureaucracy under control, and we'll need something to keep the YCL satisfied. The prisons are likely empty anyway after the past couple turns, so we might as well rid ourselves of them while they're just taking up space. We also can't let the fascists plunge into our territory unchallenged, so let's give our new recruits some experience via the blood of reaction.

New accusations of counterrevolutionary conspiracies to destroy socialism emerge, with more and more military officers being implicated in plots and anti-UAPR wrecking.

Great Marx's ghost! Lucky thing we foiled that counter-revolutionary conspiracy just in time, eh comrades?

[X] Plan: The Large Jump Ahead
-[X] Begin self-sufficiency programs: We cannot count on our prior levels of Soviet aid, and both the economy and the American People's Army will suffer for it. It is time to begin decoupling from Soviet aid. We will appreciate anything our comrades can spare us, but it is clear we must be as self-reliant as possible.

A FURNACE IN EVERY BACKYARD, DEATH TO THE FOUR PESTS, LONG LIVE THE GENERAL LINE
 
Is doing more purges really the best option? Especially when we're in the middle of getting invaded by fascists and our bureaucracy is currently nonexistent?

[X] Defending and Realizing the Revolution
- [X] Draft the New Family Code: As we have smashed the Old Guard, let us smash the patriarchal family to smithereens! A new world is dawning, and that means a new understanding of the family.
- [X] Investigate accusations of anti-Mexican American bias: You trust Kendra. You really do. At the same time, it doesn't mean her subordinates have been behaving properly. It would be good to do an investigation of the status of Mexican-Americans in the CPU in general, just to set your mind at rest.
- [X] Retake Lost Towns: We must liberate the towns that have fallen to the fascists with a fresh infusion of troops. If we can re-establish a perimeter perhaps we can crush this rebellion.

We have a lot of fires to put out but we cannot let our adminstration be dominated by nothing but purges and putting out fires, we need to start putting our agenda into practice. A New Family Code is a great way to do that.

[X] Negotiate with Moderate Rebels: Maybe we can peel off some of the more moderate insurgents with limited concessions and weaken the strength of the insurgency?

Alright now that all the not-so-wise things we need to do to appease the allies we've gained by choosing to enact a rising outta the way, time to make something outta this mess

One worry I have about the re-staffing is that if we don't investigate the anti-Mexican bias, will it be institutionalized?
 
@Lazer Raptor , would at least some appreciable number of YCL members view investigating and looking into racism as at least a step forward? Obviously there's far too much divergence of thought for them all to think alike, but I'm trying to figure out if it'd be counted as a reform or etc?

This would not really satisfy their hunger for major change in the same way big social reforms would.

I think we're unfortunately too unstable to do this until after we've repelled the Cascadian fash & Deseret.

Putting aside we wouldn't be forced to do all this & could actually choose which civil war foes to pursue if we didn't try to pull off a CultRev in the middle of a civil war rather than after winning the damn thing ofc.
 
There is pretty much no point to accelerating the revolution if the state falls entirely apart from the inside, I should note, if the goal is to try and preserve a baseline of stability. Which it doesn't have to be, but, still.
