"We have nothing to lose but our shakles now!"
-Attributed to Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Lenin
Post Great War History Volume II Chapter XV
The situation of politics in Remnant showed a major change after the Great War.
None of the promises made by the various leading politicians of the time were enough to appease the horrible unslaught caused by men and Grimm.
Attempts to gain voters were various but the most curious were the attempt made towards the workers of the rudimentary industry.
The call to arms had been enforced to most of the able men and those who returned to their previous workplaces were shocked to see that they have been replaced during the wartime.
The resulting dissense caused the creation of two groups:
The White Fang, a political movement to support the passing of more equal laws towards Fauni;
The Socialist Party, a conglomerate of several Workers' union formed during this period.
The major difference between the two was that the Socialist Party was originally inclined toward violence to achieve their objectives.
The White Fang preserved for several years a more democratic and peaceful approach and so seeing more support from the people.
The destructive nature of the Socialist Party was then used by the Regency Council to enact several authoritarian laws that not only extended the Regency duration but also limited the political impact of the two groups.
And so the White Fang saw less success than previously, slowing the process of reform dramatically.
The Socialist Party still maintained their little popularity having little if no attachment to the political system.
Another issue for the Socialist Party was the need of a headquarters to use for the Workers' movement.
Attempts to gain a property in Atlas saw a reprisal from the more militaristic and strictest Kingdom.
Finally an opportunity arised in Vale. Following the War, Vale had lost much of its population and many building were empty for the most.
The then General-Secretary of the Party, Nikolai Bukharin, was granted a large, abandoned factory to turn into the actual HQ of the Socialist Party.
Years later and the Party had assumed a much more moderate approach to its goal.
Strikes started to happen less and more charity events were held to the SP Headquarters.
Some suggests that the Party was going to dominate the region way before the end of the Century.
The Socialist Party's current, old leader, Sergei Federnov, has announced that in a matter of years he would have given the control of the party to young Darius Petrov, former leader of the Youth branch of the Party, Young Reds.
Few weeks after the fall of Beacon, outside the building of Vale's Council.
After the events of almost a month ago, the staff of the building was panicking.
The Council had yet to give a statement following this invasion and the people were starting to riot in the various, untouched part of the Capital.
The Police forces were almost non-existant and unable to prevent crimes to happen.
The worst part was the behaviour of the Guards. Some of them had started to be absent and none of the officers were able to identify the problem.
As the day was starting as a normal one, some members noticed that a series of black cars had halted in front of the entrance.
There was only an emblem present in those. A familiar one.
Some frowned, having recognized the Socialist Party's Emblem but not their intentions.
After few minutes of silence, a group of well-armed men started to leave the cars and formed a secure perimeter just outside the only car on the centre of the little convoy.
An elegant man left the vehicle. He was young, his face showing a perfect cure of the self and a quite determined composure left many witnesses quite intrigued at this individual.
He had brown hairs shaped in a noble, yet humble style.
His eyes were dark holes that seemed to terribly blank, yet a small glint of determination, a flame was present that gave warm to those he cared and burned those he hated.
A smile adorned his unblemished face as he started to walk inside the building, followed by his entourage.
It's been another horrible day for the Councilors of Vale.
The Invasion of Beacon and the fall of most of the Capital had definitely damaged their popularity and the rising crime was not helping.
Many would have asked why the Council had yet to deliberate a response to this outrageous situation but very few knew the truth about this chambers.
The only thing that resulted in any Council's reunion had been indecision.
Ozpin's death had impacted much more to the present factions. Some of those had just joined with others non-related with Ozpin but some were still unable to make a move.
Yells and screams of the various oppositions had been halting any process of compromise.
Things were not changing for the better and the Councilors knew.
None wanted to actually create coalitions as to avoid any power plays that would damage the others.
The stalemate was unnerving and dangerously causing an institution almost a century old.
Sadly for the poor councilors, today was indeed going to be much worse than they expected.
A group of armed men entered the chambers and started to block all exits.
Many voiced their protest, other just watched this development with morbid curiousity.
At last, a man entered the room and waited for the protests to end before speaking.
As silence fell on the room, the man nodded to himself.
"Good morning, members of the Council of the Kingdom of Vale."
He bowed slightly.
"I'm Darius Petrov, General-Secretary of the Socialist Party of Remnant." Darius greeted curtiously.
Many muttered in recognition, having long forgotten about the SP.
"Today is a great day for our nation." He proclaimed but was soon interceded by an angry councilwoman.
"'Great'? Please explain to me, Mr. Petrov, how today is a great day to you because, seeing the current situation, I would say otherwise."
The man showed no irritation at this interruption and merely replied.
"The predicament of a month ago had indeed been tragic in all aspects but I'm not talking about this."
He shook his head, while widening his smile. "No, today is great because after more than fifty years the ideals of the Party's founder, Vladimir Lenin, had been initiated, here in Vale."
The following silence drew until one of the Councilors questioned dumbly. "Are you launching a Coup, Mr. Petrov?"
He was immediately answered with a negative headshake. "No, no."
"The Coup had already been made under your nose." Darius revealed. "Right now, several key locations had been occupied by the Red Militia or by striking workers."
The shock was evident in the faces of the Councilors and one of them asked stuttering.
"B-but why?" He started. "Why d-did you cause this? There was no reason for-"
"Actually, we are removing the indirect cause of all this situation."
He pointed at the Council. "You all."
"Because." He continued. "It was your fault Atlas had sent a fleet that had then rebelled and killed civilians, it was you that continued to cut off the budget of Defence and it was YOU that had been giving free hand to Ozpin all this time."
"Now listen here, Ozpin was-" "Ozpin was a stupid manipulator." The rebuttal of the Council failed before this strong reply.
"Ozpin had been the 'King' for the entire time and had decided to sacrifice lives as if those were his pawns." Darius continued, this time giving to each member of the council several secret reports.
"Ozpin was ready to have us killed for some Greater Good only he knew about and did his best to have us ready for the slaughter."
"As of now, for your incapacity of dealing before and now the situation had shown fit for your new warranted arrests."
"Wha-" Some exclaimed at the final words but were unable when the Red Guards started to have them handcuffed and remove them from the room.
Once the room was cleansed by the corrupt bureaucrats, Darius sighed.
"And now it's time to give a 'statement'."
Taiyang sighed as he continued to cure the garden of his house. It's been just few hours since Yang had left the house to Haven and he had started to return to his usual routine.
He knew that his daughter was a capable warrior but he was sure that being a tiny bit worried about her was kind of a dad thing.
He shrugged as he entered his home and sit on the couch, ready to start his aimless search for something interesting on the TV.
As he started to change numerous channels, he halted when he saw that some were playing the same video.
He was surprised the familiar face of a former student of his.
Darius Petrov had been studying at Signal two years before Yang but he could remember the guy.
Very reserved and created his own circle of friends. He was a bit above average, sometimes surprising both him or/and Qrow with interesting pratical improvisations.
It had been saddening how he had decided to not continue the path of an Huntsman, preferring politics to battles.
"Today, Citizens of Vale, is the day our nation is restored. Early this day, following several laws, me and several individuals entered the chambers of the Council and arrested all of them. You might ask 'Why?', the answer is quite simple actually.
The Council had been responsible for several acts that had incredibly weakened Vale and made it almost defenseless to the Invasion that had happened several weeks ago.
The lack of response was also a proof of their inability to rule anymore. Following the Fall of Beacon, several letters of grieving parents had been sent and received at this place but they were not answered.
People asked for actions but were answered with lack of it. I shall remember one of the various casualities of this attack on our nation. Pyrrha Nikos, a 17 years old young woman that starting her path as a Huntress. Her hopes and dreams were denied when she was killed by the perpetrator and mind behind the Aggression.
Cinder Fall had infiltrated Beacon for weeks and some documents found on the building suggested that the late Headmaster, Ozpin, had been aware of this predicament and that he had preferred to watch and see what could have happened.
Hell. That was what is now left of a part of the city and the Academy.
Our Nation has the potential to show to the world that WE can recuperate, that WE can become greater, that WE become the newest Beacon for the world.
I, Darius Petrov, General-Secretary of the Socialist Party of Remnant, proclaims the dissolution of the Kingdom of Vale and the institution of the Democratic Republic of Vale.
Free, universal elections shall be prepared to happen in two weeks from today and till then there will be a provisional government made by that will lead the country to the reconstruction of the fallen zones.
I remember to those who had not understood that everyone that has reached adulthood, Human and Faunus, had to vote for this election.
Remember this day, because today the world is going to finally watch us and be stunned at our own might!"
The video feed ended with several yells of praise and approvation.
Tai couldn't believe it. His former student was leading the country.
It seems that things were actually going to change after all...
AN
Rise great writers of , the Revolution had come to Remnant!
