PROLOGUE
In the land of Westeros, where dragons soar and kings rule with an iron fist, a stranger arrived, unannounced and unexpected. He was a man of great power and conviction, a leader of men and a warrior of the people. His name was Mao Zedong, and he came from a distant land, across the sea, on a quest for new horizons and fresh opportunities.
Mao had sailed for months on end, braving treacherous waters and stormy skies, but his spirit remained unbroken, his resolve unwavering. For he knew that he was destined for greatness, that his mission was greater than himself, that he was the herald of a new age, a new dawn, a new hope.
ACT I
[The scene opens with Chairman Mao Zedong and King Joffrey Baratheon in a private chamber of the Red Keep, where Mao is introducing Joffrey to the principles of Maoism.]
Chairman Mao Zedong: Your Grace, I must commend you on your willingness to hear us out. It is rare to find a leader who is open to new ideas and perspectives.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [leaning forward] Indeed, I am always eager to learn and explore new ways of ruling my kingdom. And you, Chairman Mao, are known throughout the world as a great leader and thinker.
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] Flattery will get you nowhere, Your Grace. But I do appreciate your respect for my ideas and philosophy.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding] So tell me, what is this Maoism that you speak of? How does it differ from other forms of governance?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [clearing his throat] Maoism is a political theory that emphasizes the power and agency of the people, rather than relying solely on the state or ruling class. It promotes self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and the constant struggle against all forms of oppression and exploitation.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [frowning] And how does this translate into practical governance? What policies and structures do you propose?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] Ah, that is the beauty of Maoism, Your Grace. It is not a set of rigid dogmas or blueprints, but a living, evolving philosophy that adapts to the needs and conditions of each society.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding] I see. So how do you propose to apply these ideas to Westeros?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [stroking his beard] Well, for starters, we must abolish the feudal system and the power of the aristocracy. We must empower the common people, the peasants and workers, to take control of their own lives and destinies.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [scoffing] Abolish the nobility? Do you realize how much chaos and instability that would cause?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] Change is never easy, Your Grace. But sometimes it is necessary in order to create a better future for all. And as for instability, that can be mitigated through careful planning and organization.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding] I suppose you have a point. And what about the economy? How do you propose to promote self-reliance and self-sufficiency?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] By promoting cooperatives, collective ownership, and decentralized planning. We must move away from the profit-driven model of capitalism, which only benefits a select few, and towards a system that prioritizes the needs and well-being of the masses.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding slowly] I see. It is a bold vision, Chairman Mao, and one that requires much thought and consideration. But I am intrigued by your ideas, and I believe that they could have merit for Westeros.
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] I am pleased to hear that, Your Grace. And rest assured, we will be with you every step of the way, to provide guidance and support as you embark on this journey.
[The scene fades as Chairman Mao Zedong and King Joffrey Baratheon continue their conversation, discussing the practical details of implementing Maoism in Westeros.]
ACT II
[The scene opens with King Joffrey Baratheon addressing a large crowd of commoners and nobles in the streets of King's Landing. He is flanked by Chairman Mao Zedong and his trusted advisor, Varys.]
King Joffrey Baratheon: [speaking loudly] Good people of Westeros, I stand before you today with a bold vision for our future. A vision that has been inspired by the teachings of Chairman Mao Zedong, a great leader and thinker from the distant land of China.
[The crowd murmurs and whispers among themselves, some nodding in agreement while others look confused and skeptical.]
King Joffrey Baratheon: [raising his voice] I have decided to embrace Maoism, a revolutionary new philosophy that will transform our society and bring power to the people!
[The crowd erupts into chaos, with some cheering while others boo and jeer.]
Chairman Mao Zedong: [whispering to Joffrey] Stay calm, Your Grace. Remember, change is never easy.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [clearing his throat] My fellow Westerosi, I know that some of you may be hesitant or unsure about these changes. But I promise you that Maoism will bring us all greater prosperity, equality, and freedom.
[The crowd continues to murmur and shout, with some throwing objects and starting small riots.]
Varys: [whispering to Mao and Joffrey] Your Grace, we must withdraw for now. This crowd is becoming dangerous.
King Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding] Very well. We shall continue this conversation in a more controlled setting. But know this, my people: Maoism is the future of Westeros, and I will do everything in my power to make it a reality.
[The scene fades to black as the crowd continues to riot and chaos reigns in the streets of King's Landing.]
ACT III
[The scene opens with King Joffrey Baratheon standing on the balcony of the Red Keep, addressing a group of his advisors and key supporters.]
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [speaking firmly] My fellow comrades, we have embarked on a great journey towards true equality and socialism. We have already taken the first steps towards a brighter future by abolishing the old feudal system and all titles of nobility.
[The group of advisors nods in agreement and cheers.]
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [continuing] But we cannot stop there. Today, I am proud to announce the launch of our Five-Year Plan, which will ensure that we have the resources and means to continue our march towards a truly communist society.
[The advisors murmur in excitement and anticipation.]
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [raising his voice] We will work tirelessly to improve the lives of our people, to provide education, healthcare, and housing for all. We will build a strong, self-sufficient economy that will make us truly independent and free.
[The group cheers loudly.]
Advisor 1: [stepping forward] But, Chairman Joffrey, what about the Iron Throne? What will become of it?
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [smiling] The Iron Throne is a symbol of the old, corrupt ways of the past. It has no place in our new, egalitarian society. That is why I am renouncing the throne and adopting the title of Chairman Joffrey Baratheon, leader of the Westerosi Communist Party.
[The group erupts into cheers and applause.]
Advisor 2: [bowing] We pledge our allegiance to you, Chairman Joffrey. We will follow you to the ends of the earth.
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [nodding] I thank you for your loyalty and dedication. Together, we will build a new Westeros, a society that truly belongs to the people.
[The scene fades to black as Chairman Joffrey Baratheon and his advisors raise their fists in triumph.]
ACT IV
[The scene opens with Chairman Joffrey Baratheon sitting in his throne room, surrounded by his advisors, while Chairman Mao Zedong approaches with a group of armed soldiers.]
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [surprised] Chairman Mao, what is the meaning of this? Have you come to join our cause?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling wryly] My dear Chairman Joffrey, I'm afraid I have come to take over the leadership of this country. Your ideas are commendable, but they are not radical enough.
Advisor 1: [stepping forward] What is the meaning of this treachery, Chairman Mao? Have you come to overthrow our beloved leader?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [laughing] Beloved leader? You must be joking. Joffrey Baratheon is a weak and naive boy, with no real understanding of power. But I have come to teach you all the true meaning of revolution.
[The soldiers start to close in on the advisors, who look around nervously and start to draw their swords.]
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [raising his hand] Wait! This is not the way we do things here. We believe in peaceful change, not violence.
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smirking] Peaceful change? You sound like a bourgeois reformist. The only way to truly change society is through a Cultural Revolution.
[The soldiers start to disarm the advisors and remove them from the room.]
Advisor 2: [struggling against the soldiers] This is madness! What are you doing, Chairman Mao?
Chairman Mao Zedong: [turning to Joffrey] Do not worry, my dear Chairman Joffrey. You will be well taken care of. But from now on, Westeros belongs to the people, and we will not rest until we have built a truly socialist society.
[The scene fades to black as the soldiers escort the advisors out of the room and Chairman Mao Zedong takes control of the country, embarking on a Cultural Revolution.]
ACT V
[The scene opens with Chairman Mao Zedong addressing a massive crowd of Westerosi citizens in the streets of King's Landing.]
Chairman Mao Zedong: [raising his fist] Comrades, the time has come to embark on a new journey, a journey towards true equality and liberation. We will no longer tolerate the old ways of oppression and exploitation. The time has come for a Cultural Revolution!
[The crowd erupts into cheers and applause, waving red flags and chanting slogans.]
Chairman Mao Zedong: [continuing] We will cleanse our society of the remnants of feudalism and capitalism. We will tear down the old order and build a new one, based on the principles of socialism and the rule of the people.
[The crowd cheers louder, as Chairman Mao Zedong raises his fist again.]
Chairman Mao Zedong: [smiling] But we cannot do this alone. We need your help, your dedication, and your sacrifice. We need you to join the Red Guard, to fight against the forces of reaction and counter-revolution.
[The crowd starts to disperse, as people sign up to join the Red Guard and take up the cause of the Cultural Revolution.]
Meanwhile, in the dungeons of the Red Keep, Chairman Joffrey Baratheon and his advisors are being held captive by the new regime. They are subjected to re-education and forced to denounce their former beliefs and privileges.
Advisor 1: [crying] This is madness! We were trying to make things better for the people, but now we are being punished for it.
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [sighing] We underestimated the power of Mao's ideology. He truly believes he is doing what is best for the people.
Advisor 2: [nodding] But at what cost? The Cultural Revolution has turned Westeros into a chaotic and violent place. Families are being torn apart, people are being persecuted for their beliefs.
Chairman Joffrey Baratheon: [clenching his fists] We cannot give up hope. We must find a way to resist, to fight back against this tyranny.
Advisor 1: [whispering] But how? We are trapped down here, with no weapons or means of escape.
Just then, the door to the dungeon opens, and a group of Red Guards enter, led by a young woman with a determined look on her face.
Red Guard Leader: [smiling] Come with me, comrades. We are here to liberate you and join the fight against the forces of reaction.
[The advisors and Chairman Joffrey Baratheon look at each other in shock and disbelief, as they follow the Red Guard leader out of the dungeon and into the streets of King's Landing.]
The stage fades to black as the group of rebels makes their way through the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, determined to overthrow Chairman Mao Zedong and restore freedom to Westeros.
