The Social Revolution
Now that we are in control of the government, it is imperative that we take steps to guide the development of socialism in Bakara. This will not be a straightforward process, as many voices within the ZDS advocate making ideological adaptations and significant departures from Marksist-Stallionist orthodoxy.
Requires the following:

Current ruling party is Communist
Trigger country event “Comrade Foam's Speech”
A Dagger in the Dark
We must act swiftly to deal with reactionary elements within the Bakaran government. If left alone, these elements may plot to undermine the rule of the working class and foment counter-revolution.

The Little Black Book
As long as the Bakaran military maintains an independent ideology and power base, they will represent an unacceptable threat to the development of socialism. This threat can only be eliminated by purging disloyal elements from the officer corps and enforcing ideological orthodoxy from the top down. Publishing a book of quotations from President Bray Foam and distributing it widely would be a good start.

Surveillance of the civilian populace is a tactic of oppressive regimes that deny their people freedom. Surveillance of the military, however, is a necessary precaution against reactionaries and capitalists from using our national strength against us. We already encountered this problem with that damned Admiral, and we should take precautions to make sure we never need to deal with something similar again.

While Bakara's traditions of Republicanism are something socialists can look back on with pride, it is tainted by the effects of years of capitalist control and the evil influence of foreign powers who saw our system as a threat. With a few choice edits, we can offer an image of our republican past as one destined for socialism from the beginning, and that we continue that legacy.

It is time to embark on our great economic reform of the nation! Socialism shall, of course, be the main focus, but branching out from there, we have many paths regarding how to proceed.

The Foam-Haze Split
Bray Foam has bravely led us down a more compassionate path then the one demanded by harsh orthodoxy, bringing peace and prosperity to Bakara. But we can not close our ears to what is happening under Haze's dictatorship, nor the suffering of so many ponies. We have no choice but to accept the truth: Haze must be dealt with, for the good of the World Revolution.

The Passing of the Torch
It is a tragedy that Caramel Haze was not able to put Marksist-Stallionist theories into practice himself. However, as long as we breathe, we will carry on his legacy and work tirelessly to bring about the liberation of all workers in the Riverlands. For Comrade Haze!
Rejoice! Through our efforts and dedication we have transformed Bakara into a perfect realisation of Caramel Marks' revolutionary theories. Now, all that remains is for us to join hooves with Comrade Haze himself and work together to create a better future for every working pony.
Thus far, only a fraction of Riverlanders have been liberated from the chains of economic exploitation and political oppression; the forces of reaction still hold domain over the rest of the Riverlands. This cannot be allowed to stand any longer! Down with the old order, up with the workers!

Refurbish the OSS
The Oddelek za Strateške Storitve—the department responsible for directing our special operations forces—has a long tradition of adapting and innovating to enhance our unconventional warfare capabilities. If we want to be ready to face the challenges ahead, it's time we looked at restructuring the agency to ensure our special forces operate with the greatest possible efficiency.

The OSS has a sterling history of combat performance, and it is now imperative that we dedicate additional resources and administrative attention to the department. As more and more of our ponies become trained in their advanced skills and tactics, the effectiveness of our army will increase massively.

Rolling Thunder
With proper training and equipment, our special forces can make use of their skill and cohesion to achieve rapid dominance on the battlefield. By quickly bringing their force to bear against the enemy, they can paralyze the enemy's perception of the battlefield and destroy their will to fight, winning the battle as soon as it begins.

Review the Officer Corps
The ranks of our army are riddled with under-qualified officers who owe their ranks to personal connections rather than genuine ability.

By combining mutually supporting strongpoints with a defence in depth, our forces will be able to sap the strength and break the momentum of any attacking army. Picking our battles carefully will allow us to achieve victory with maximum efficiency and minimal casualties.

Scrap the System
It's time we faced the reality that the Bakaran militia system is broken beyond repair. Companies across the nation are rife with insubordination and distracted by petty regional rivalries. The fact is these militias would be ineffective in any prolonged military campaign; they are simply too unreliable. Our only path forward is the creation of a single professional National Army.
