The chants echoed through the streets of ash-Shabaa, the revolution had finally bore fruit. At the head of the protests stood Antoun al-Saad, a young army officer who's controversial speeches raised an entire generation of revolutionaries to rise against the Syrian Republic. al-Saad's words radicalised the youth into a violent fervour and retribution was coming. The military had risen to the side of al-Saad and the only thing stopping them from executing the Republican government was the ash-Shabaa police force. However, the police only numbered so few and the protesters numbered so great so it was only a matter of time until they pushed through the barricade. The Syrian Republic would not last the coming day, the Republican palace was stormed and the protesters tore through the corrupt politicians who had ruined their nation.

Along the streets politicians hung from street lights, from balconies, and from trees. Anyone who didn't wholeheartedly support the revolution was considered an enemy. Shop owners were murdered for protecting their stores, bankers murdered for not opening the vaults, even random civilians who didn't wish to be apart of the bloodshed were considered counter-revolutionary. There was no room in the Syrian Vanguard for anti-revolutionary fascists, the blood of the workers will not be spilt in vain, no, every death is merely a step towards socialism. Everything is justified if it ends with Syria under the immortal science of Marxism.

With the Syrian Vanguard established in ash-Shahbaa and the Republican pockets of resistance slowly being exterminated outside of the capital, Antoun al-Saad begun his reconstruction of Syria. However, the reconstruction had hidden goals. Bunkers were being built all across the country, munitions and explosives were beginning to be stockpiled, lists were being written. How long would it be until al-Saad revealed his plans? Only the inner-party knew. For the rest of Syria, al-Saad released a manifesto that helped explain the ideology behind the Syrian Vanguard.
