Chapter 1: Rebirth

"We have nothing to lose but our shakles now!"

-Attributed to Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Lenin

After the removal of the Council, the building had been refitted to the rules of the new administration.

The internal surveillance had been expanded together with the external garrisons, filled by trustworthy member of the Party.

The new room for the leader of the Democratic Republic of Vale was quite humble in comparison to the chamber used by Councillors yet it maintained the formal style required by all Government-related rooms.

Darius Petrov was reading intensively a report that he had just received from one of the groups sent in the various houses of the former Councillors.

Internal Corruption was something he could deal with but he certainly didn't expect the details present in those documents.

"Damn Schnees.."

Those two words resumed his current trail of thought.

When the SDC started to monopolize the Dust Production sector, Vale had imposed a protectionist policy to avoid any unjust advantage the Atlas' company would have caused to the local Dust-related organisations.

When Jacques Schnee had been fit to lead the organisation, he had launched an economic operation to make Vale's Council his little dominion to rule as he wished.

From common briberies to assassination attempts, the Council had yelded and accepted and Vale's Industry was in few years forced to vanish or submit to the foreign company.

But now, Darius thought, it was time to reignite the flames of Vale's industrial power.

So, few hours later, several local minor business leaders were called to his office to discuss his plan for economy revival.

"The Republic need a working economy policy that can start at once and that can keep up in the long run with the modern competitioners."

This fact was truthful and many nodded, agreeing with that statement.

"So, thanks with Minister Trair, I come up with a compromising solution for you all."

As he finished speaking he gave some notes with graphics and description.

Many started to read the papers and started to mutter among themselvest.

"It could work.." "That's innovative.." "The gain/losses formula is exact."

Everyone started to voice their opinions to each other and at the end they decided to accept the plan.

"Comrade Petrov, representing the opinion of everyone, I think the plan is doable and incredibly generous." He bowed slightly.

Nodding at this, Darius decided to summarise his idea.

"We shall create the Vale's Industrial and Agrarian Union soon and you all had been selected for your loyalty and your abilities to be part of the commitee assigned to lead it. Still you all will have to report to Minister Triar, as he is the Minister of Economy and Finances."

This was meet once again with approving stares from all the occupants of the room and, as soon the reunion was finished, Darius sighed in relief.

One down, four more problems to solve. Those were the majors and there were still the minor ones to solve. It was going to be a long day after all..

Six hours later...

The following reunions had been similar to the first one. The second group he had to discuss with was the Military companies. Those were essential for Vale to work for three important reasons:

1) Vale's Military Arsenal was second only to Atlas and that was to change only for the best, 2) the formation of a new army needed an expanded Military Assembly Line, even better than the pre-Great War eras and, 3) the Companies created more jobs and so stabilised the rate of unemployment.

The third and fourth group were mostly related one to the other. Together with an army, Vale needed to create a powerful navy and airforce. It was needed in case of invasion from Atlas.

While it had been few days since the proclamation of the republic, several activities had been registered in the borders and some were bluntly hostile. This was mostly from Vacuo's but both Mistral and Atlas were not shy to try to challenge the garrisons in a border war.

But all those foreign threats paled in comparison to the internal problems. Part of Vale was still filled of Grimm and that if he didn't count the Grimm Dragon in Beacon as part of this all.

Luckily some interesting support had decided to come. Following the fall of Beacon, two of the professors had decided to join the new military school initiative that Darius had issued just two days earlier.

Bartholomew Oobleck, PhD in Military History, and Peter Port, retired Huntsman, were two of the most brilliant men of this era and their support was a blessing both in a pratical and in a theoretical way.

They guaranteed a good instruction to the recruits and boolstered the moral of the newly-formed Red Army.

The Red Army was an idea of one of the heirs of the founder, Leon Trotsky, that served as an armed guarantee against the enemies of the revolutions.

It was considered initially a pipe dream of the man from the other members, since the idea of 'Always War' as he had thought was quite irrational to put into the reality and some of the modern historians had judged it as a major flaw for the close friend of Lenin.

War, Lenin had said, was to defend the ideals of Revolutions. This line of thought was then maintained by his successor and founder of Vale's SP headquarters, Nikolai Bukharin.

Moderation and balance prevailed to the lines of Radicalism and eternal struggle.

Darius would remember perfectly how his mentor and predecessor, Sergei Federov, would praise the work of Bukharin and would push his apprentice to think of an idea in a realistic way than in a revolutionary way.

Rational Revolution, not Revolutionary Rationality.

His little moment of remembrance was interrupted when a member of his staff entered the room quietly.

"Comrade Petrov, some foreign delegates have come to talk with you."

"I didn't expected the Kingdoms to come to visit quite soon."

The staff member shook his head negatively.

"Comrade, those are not representatives of the Kingdoms' governments. They said they were part of the Socialist Party of the other regions."

Frowning Darius nodded slowly and let the man leave his room silently.

That was something he certainly he had not expected...

Ten minutes later, Darius was looking at the various delegates from had come to visit the newly established Socialist regime.

They were quite different one from the others and seemed quite somber looking.

As he coughed, everyone turned to stare at him. Many stood silent to see a reaction from him, while others had decided to breach part of the cold formality and went to greet the successful socialist.

"Congratulations from the Vacuo's SP detachment, Comrade Petrov."

"Same from the Mistral's one, Comrade."

As the congratulations went on and on, Darius noticed that the only group that had not approached him were from the Atlas' detachment.

They were looking quite tired at the leader and were not showing any sign of approaching him any time soon.

As soon as the greetings finished, Darius decided to held a temporary debate to learn more about those new guests.

"Greetings Comrades and welcome to the Democratic Republic of Vale." He started his speech, trying to come up with the right words.

"As you may have noticed, I was honestly surprised of your existence as the reports from the past leaders of the SP described as no other member of the Party lived outside of Vale. Now I see that those old documents were unfound and that you existed and are now here."

Many agreed to him and an old, tired man walking to him and shook his hand.

"I understand your confusion, Comrade Petrov. The Socialist Party actually has more than a single site in Vale. After Bukharin's decision to move in this region, a secret meeting had occured few days before the actual moving. It was decided that Socialist cells were to quietly establish themselves in the other regions and support the internal struggle in those places."

He pointed trembling because of old age to the Atlas group.

"The members of Atlas SP were possibly the ones with the most difficult mission. Trying to be opposed to the Military Council in Atlas is a suicide even to think about and yet they were able to survive to see this day. You, Comrade Petrov, represent a new wave of hope for the still living Socialists. Thank you."

The words were soon followed by loud clapping from all the delegates, Atlas too had joined the group.

Darius looked at this new development with interest.

While this was something that surprised him, it surprised him positively.

The change might be expanded with the other Kingdoms and maybe succeed in realizing Lenin's Dream.

Remnant as a Utopia for its people.

AN

Phew! Second chapter his done and I'm dying after so much study.

I have been naively thinking that with the easier lessons at Uni I would have found more time to write. Then exams happened. And in that moment, Bukharin knew he had messed it up.

Anyway from my whines, this fanfic represent a bit an idealistic approach to the RWBY's world that many wouldn't think about. And why wouldn't they? Well, Communism isn't certainly an appreciated ideology and very few still nowadays feel to be Communists.

I, as an aspiring politician, feel a bit more inclined toward the conservative side of Politics because stuff and the modern world. I am one to realize the impossibility of Marx's and Lenin's idea of Utopia because of how mankind cannot become Ideal. It cannot become simple.

We are complex things we human beings...

At last, I wanted to explain something much more fanfic-related. The new nation will not intervene in Volume 4 and Volume 5... directly. With this new development there might be an intervention from the Socialists but not from Darius' orders. I understand that it's too much farfetched to have something so young as the DRV to intervene this much early in the story, I will probably have them solving Vale's Grimm problem a week or two before the end of Volume 5.
