Generalissimo J.L. Announces the "White Revolution"

Today, Generalissimo J.L. announced his latest idea: a "White Revolution," similar to the one launched by the Shah of Iran in the 1960s. J.L.'s White Revolution would have three main goals:

*Winning (or strengthening) the support of the populace;

*Building resistance to communism in the countryside;

*Instructing people in the countryside in the art of war in case of future invasion

He planned to accomplish this goal by distributing portraits of himself as well as miniature RB flags throughout the country; sending teachers to the countryside to educate the illiterate, and have them read Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith as well as RB government propaganda; sending National Guardsmen to deliver food, water, and medicine to the poor to show the Generalissimo's generosity and rally them to his side; innoculating children in the countryside against disease in the event of future germ warfare; sending small contingents of policemen to rural areas to provide protection, distribute arms, and train the people to defend themselves; building new houses for the poor and providing 4 Shoobans to each family; sending children to 'special schools,' to indoctrinate them in anticommunist ideology; and finally, educating the rural people in guerrilla warfare.
The Generalissimo admitted this project would be long, cumbersome, and expensive, but said it would be "well worth it. We'll win hearts and minds and ensure that Marxism never triumphs in RB. We will win the loyalty of every citizen, so this nation can function more efficiently and ascend to even greater heights of prosperity."
Polls showed that more than 98.7% of the population 'fully supports,' the White Revolution.
The Generalissimo plans to have every leftist in RB executed, and will use the leftists' and their families' money to fund the White Revolution; if that doesn't cover all expenses, he'll personally chip in some funds (he is a trillionaire, after all). The project will cost the public (except the leftists, of course) absolutely nothing.

*Raises thumb*
Good idea, but some people could find the title of this program slightly offensive.

(OOC: The Shah of Iran launched a similar program in the 1960s, also entitled the "White Revolution.")

I'm paying for it myself. The government is not. The public is not. Therefore, it is not socialism. And in case you didn't know, this is all a publicity stunt to win over the populace.

Ah, but the Department of Treasury isn't funding it, I'm funding it out of my own pockets, my scale-covered friend.

J.L., I think you can rest easy - any communists in Roach-Busters are long gone. You and I need to meet once more to discuss... well, everything. I miss having you as a friend after twenty years. At least let's try to repair personal relations, seeing as my people don't want diplomatic relations repaired.

Well our nation turn capiltalist now so we will be more friendly. Besides when we are reminded of communism we are reminded of Stalin. Who deliberately leads his own soldiers to death. We hope you wont lead your men on suicide wars.

Thank you, my friend. This plan was inspired by one of my favorite heroes, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, a great man to whom you bear a striking resemblance.

Somewhere away from the paparazzi, it can be here or there. They're driving me insane. Glad to know you don't hate me. Oh, and Vasiliou apologises for his little banter with you - you know he's a rebel and a loose cannon sometimes.

I apologize to him as well. What say we have dinner at my palace sometime soon? Care to hunt some Shoo- er, never mind. Anyway, come over for dinner, if you'd like.

Sounds good to me. I at least want to repair diplomatic relations to a cordial state, if it's possible to convince the Pacitalian people. You'll get a brand new embassy out of the deal, anyway, since somebody took your old one.
