With the establishment of the role of General Secretary of the Central Committee, [[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Marwand Hafiz}} would take the role. However, he’d face heavy opposition from the pro-Soviet [[File:Khaledi.png]] [[Khrushchevism|Ali Khaledi]] and his faction. This would culminate in a purge of Khaledi’s faction in 1960, and the threatening of others deemed “revisionist”. In 1963, [[File:Khaledi.png]] [[Khrushchevism|Ali Khaledi]] killed himself after a failed party coup d’etat of [[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Hafiz}} occurred. However, many Khaledites blamed his death on [[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Hafiz}}, calling it an “assassination.” 

Meanwhile, [[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Hafiz}} would see the country side with [[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism|Mao]] in the Sino-Soviet Split and the continued rapid industrialization of Sahala from the ground up. The country would become the first country to become 100% electrified in 1963. The country would enter a golden age with the growth of innovation, the arts, etc. Abortion would be legalized under his rule in 1961, and homosexuality in 1971 (it had already been decriminalized in 1962). The [[File:Tankie.png]] [[Stratocracy|Sahali People's Army]] would become of the largest militaries in the world, with it having over 600,000 active soldiers and over 300,000 in reserves. 

In 1966 in response to [[File:Cball-China.png]] [[Maoism|China's]] cultural revolution, [[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Marwand Hafiz}} would announce the start of Sahala's own in order to finally remove all reactionary bourgeois elements from society. Although there were excesses committed during this (particularly against the religious), the cultural revolution is generally seen as a positive thing in Sahala today. 

Around this time, a militant paramilitary of revolutionary youth known as the [[File:MLMTerrorist.png]] Pārajaha. They were originally a youth organization affiliated with the Sahali Socialist Youth League, but eventually turned violent during the cultural revolution. During the 1970s, they perpetuated numerous bombings against the Sahali government and at this time were accused of being a cult by many. They also moved to the countryside, and established a commune in Eastern Kunyat. Eventually, their leader was killed in 1976 in a clash with the police.

[[File:Hafiz.png]] {{PCBA|Stalinism|Hafiz's}} health would become worse and worse starting in 1972, when he suffered a debilitating stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. In December of 1974, he would die from pneumonia at 74 years old. He would be replaced by a [[File:CollectiveLeadership.png]] [[Oligarchy|Serokati]] consisting of [[File:Angar.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Angar Ghizali]] as General Secretary of the Communist Party, [[File:MND.png]] [[Police Statism|Iraj Esfahani]] as Prime Minister, and [[File:Violentprog.png]] [[Revolutionary Progressivism|Salman Gaya Bahri]] as President.
