Sounds like someone hates the FERVOR of the WORKING CLASS and their desire to WORK LONG HOURS for the GLORY OF THE NATION.

Meh, better than what Robspierre did.
Something tells me if we go full Robspierre, we'd see a recreation of the later years of the French Revolution to occur, with our own Napoleon Bonaparte at the end of it.

Not radical enough.
[] Radical Republicans
-[] Confirm the civil war measures of the Army of Land and Army of Labor as an organizing principle for Germany in war time. We must prepare for the next wars, and all resources will need to be brought to bear effectively.
-[] Giving funding and military equipment to foreign volunteers who wish to return home to fight against those monarchies, especially in the Russian and Austrian Empires. They will have a taste of their own medicine.
-[] Expand existing institutions to support Red-Gold veterans of the Civil War, with jobs and money, their sacrifices in war time must be honored and rewarded.
-[] Continue the process of land expropriation and redistribution to the peasantry, especially in the reactionary parts of Germany which rose up during the Civil War.
-[] Rebuild and expand war making industries across Germany, we must become ready to take the fight to the reactionaries as soon as possible.
"But Aedan, the country just came out of a ruinous civil war and the country doesn't have the apatite to go to war with half of Europe. We should focus on rebuilding internally and balancing the books."
"Can't hear you over the sounds of foreign monarchies oppressing their peoples and trying to stamp out the Revolution. The war isn't over, their efforts have merely paused. Now we must take the initiative."

Absolutely correct and based. However, could I also suggest providing resources/having diplomatic contact with friendly countries through our returning volunteers? We must not abandon our sister republic in Spain!

- expand the definition of enfranchising compulsory service to include nonmilitary forms of service (public labor corps and other things the state may require)
- focus the state owned sector of the economy on public conveniences like cafeterias, hostels and theaters rather than factories or farms
- introduce standardized and comprehensive civil service examinations updated to the current constitutional order and technological age
- Offer a recognition of National Government debt in exchange for a military alliance with Britain
- Shore up the Italian alliance with an agreement regarding favorable trade andpreventing German political groups from disseminating propaganda to Italy

Employ workers sufficient to the project, at prevailing wages and for no more than 40 hours per week.

We've all been hyped up by Jacobin memes. We've become too unhinged to function in a republic. Evolved, but untamed.
So, rather than voting for some Marcobin Vanguard platform of maintaining wartime mobilized, I think we should probably recover from the civil war first. There are several cities that are still on fire in Germany. Our rail network got obliterated between factions. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands are injured and dead. Some of our major industrial cities got hit during the war. Our gold reserve was smuggled out of the country by the National Government to Austria to pay for imports and to escape with it when they lost the war.
In short, we're in a tight spot. The Ruhr managed to survive intact, so thankfully we still have it as a massive industrial base. Zimmerwalkd's plan is solid. It focuses on putting the energy on rebuilding, which we need to do.

-[] Reconstruction must be the first and primary item, of course. Ruined buildings must be torn down or rebuilt, basic commerce and services must be restored. Germany's cities deserve to recapture a sense of normalcy.
-[] Key transportation infrastructure must be repaired. Nationwide freight and passenger rail, canals and highways - all monitored by a government coordinating agency to ensure effective service.
-[] As a broader point of economic philosophy, while self-management and worker ownership is obviously the future of political economy, the abolition of the capitalist class has also, ah, abolished many of the mechanisms that guided the market economy. That's all well and good, but someone must see the bigger picture. Establish national economic planning agencies, including coordinating agencies in the various industries.
-[] With the war behind us, Germany is open for business! We must work to reestablish foreign trade and some sort of functioning system for regulating it, establishing state agencies or trading companies if they prove necessary.
-[] The fighting destroyed countless lives, and the Republic must do what little it can to pick up the pieces. Invest heavily in state or NGO-operated orphanages, asylums, veteran's homes, and other such social services.
