-[X] Inform Long that we cannot go further than a truce without consulting the SPA and CSA leadership, and ask him to explain his proposal in more depth so that we can properly convey it to our allies.

[X] "How about this? We'll stand together against the KKK, if nothing else. In the meantime, your folks and our folks can work together on the local level, and we'll see where things go from there. No full fusion...but a start."

[x] Push for partial implementation. It will be less offensive, and less likely to cause a problem. But it might upset people anyway, and it won't work as well. On the other hand, once people are used to it, you can introduce more reforms.
-[x] Just command staff for Butler. (???)
[x] "My fellow workers, we have won great victories, despite the faltering and flagging efforts of the capitalists and reactionaries. They're efforts are futile and meaningless, and I ask you to treat them as such. Use the bullet and bayonet where you must, but offer the open hand first. We must be better than our enemies." You support the moderates in this struggle.
[x] Push for the full implementation of Butler's reforms: staff officers for regional commanders and for him, appointed by their respective commanders. It will alienate many in the CSA and the Red Guards, but the sooner the command staff gets put in charge the better. (???)

[X] Plan: The Worker Triumphant, Bolder
-[X] [INTENSITY] Moderate. In addition to improving and revitalizing what already exists, we should focus on re-opening the shuttered factories and making the towns around them boom through new construction and development. Moderately popular across all segments.
-[X] [HIGH] Prioritize heavy industry and infrastructure. Take steel and coal and turn it into power plants and machine tools and rails and bridges. No longer will the titans of the economy selfishly hoard their products. Now the workers will use infrastructure and industry for their own benefit. Moderately popular with the left of the SPA and CSA, slightly popular with the public.
-[X] [HIGH] Prioritize working conditions. Without any need for profit, hours can be shortened and safety improved. Democratic factory management will turn even the most difficult labor from drudgery to joy. It is the foremost goal of socialism to so many, let it be achieved. Very popular with all internal factions, very popular with the public.
-[X] [LOW] Prioritize pork. There are more factions in the CSA who can have their attitude adjusted by favorable investments in the industries or areas that elect them, and it will benefit the workers as well. Very popular with all factions, moderately popular with the public, increased likelihood of corruption scandal.
[x] [EDUCATION] Create a program using every existing form of media, from posters to radios. It will be expensive, but it will help make sure everyone knows how things are going to change. (-1 Resource, ???)
[X] Plan Bread and Roses V2
-[X] [INTENSITY] Moderate. In addition to improving and revitalizing what already exists, we should focus on re-opening the shuttered factories and making the towns around them boom through new construction and development. Moderately popular across all segments.
-[X] [HIGH] Prioritize agricultural development. The specter of famine will be forever banished. The Dust Bowl will be destroyed, irrigation will be developed, new fertilizers and tractors will make every farm more efficient. Wherever possible, staple crops will be supplemented with more luxurious ones to truly bring abundance. Popular with the rural-focused segments of the SPA and CSA, popular with the rural public, slightly unpopular with the urban-focused segments of the SPA and CSA.
-[X] [HIGH] Prioritize quality of life. People are more than their labor. They must have schools and hospitals and leisure, good housing, and good communities. They must have electricity and water. Work to build those and bring them about for all. Very popular with all factions, very popular with the public.

[X] [EDUCATION] Invest in an immense propaganda campaign using every media available and incorporating agitators and organizers from across the country to ensure there is no confusion or fear. (-2 Resources, new Mandate, ???)

[X] Plan The Arsenal of Socialism
-[x] [INTENSITY] Low. Instead of attempting to develop new factories, we should focus on improving existing efficiency and fixing the most blatant mistakes of capitalism. Popular with the right of the CSA and SPA, popular with the Teamster's Union and bureaucrats.
-[x] [HIGH] Prioritize raw resource extraction and production. Gather coal from the mountains, ore from the ground, lumber from the forests, and process it into forms that can be used. There is abundance in America's natural resources, an abundance that must be used by the people. Moderately popular across all segments of the SPA and CSA.
-[x] [HIGH][SECRET] Prioritize military equipment. The revolution must be defended with all the might a nation's industry can muster. Armored cars, mortars, machine guns, and more will pour forth to be wielded by the workers of America. Popular with the Red Guards and left, very popular with the RAF, moderately unpopular with the public. Likely to provoke a response.
-[X] [LOW] Prioritize pork. There are more factions in the CSA who can have their attitude adjusted by favorable investments in the industries or areas that elect them, and it will benefit the workers as well. Very popular with all factions, moderately popular with the public, increased likelihood of corruption scandal.

[X] Plan: Fusion, Ha Improved?
-[X] [SYNDICATES] It would be best to discuss this with the representatives of the unions in accordance with democratic principles, although it will be a closed session. (May require concessions or modifications to the proposed deal, ???)
-[X] [MILITIA] As above, but reprimand several units who engaged in combat with Minutemen in the Black Belt, with Long doing the same for his own men. (???)
-[X] [Votes] Take Kansas off the grey list into the 'non-interference states'. Ask that the three Texas House of Reps SPA members that already exist be allowed to run for a fair re-election. Ditto the one Oklahoma comrade, if it seems amenable, but be willing to back off there.
-[X] [Votes] Propose working together to fight Fed election interfere in California (IE, help us with that one California anti-ballot stuffing action)
--[X] Emphasize the necessity of future talks on the large-scale disenfranchisement occurring in the Black Belt, but also the impossibility of addressing it as long as the National Front and others are in power and maintaining Jim Crow laws. Use this statement as part of the argument for the Militia agreement to the Syndicates.
-[X] If the Syndicates ask about the three Texas Reps, point out knowingly that ties in Texas may help with links to Mexico in the event of any unpleasantness.
