What next for the urban uprising? Historical precedents
French Revolution - deposes national government, several waves of terror, co-opted by messianic figure who suppresses unrest with anti-personnel artillery into crusading empire, remakes much of advanced world, ultimately defeated, the heirs of the pre-uprising elites restore the old regime but it’s never the same
June Rebellion of 1832 (the Les Mis one) - heartwarming unity, suppressed by military force
1848 Revolutions - suppressed by military force one by one, some advances in bourgeois nationalism, extensive systems of secret police and political crime established to suppress future repeats
Paris Commune - formed under foreign siege, not applicable
Russian Revolution of 1905 - after initial attempts at suppression catalyze more unrest, Tsar makes concessions to liberals, managing to split them from radicals. Remnants suppressed with military force but return in 1917.
Russian Revolution of 1917 - after defeating war-weakened central government and resisting expeditionary forces from foreign states, eventually forms Leninist government
Spartacist Uprising - radicals transition to armed insurrection with partial buy-in from more moderate leftists. Undermanned government suppresses them by loosing private rightist veterans’ militias
post-war Italy - country held together in very loose federalism with drastic variation in local political climate from hard-right to hard-left, socialists, communists, anarchists, and fascists all maintain organizations, power bases, autonomist zones, and parties. National electoral system is rigged to maintain function as a client state of foreign power anyway. System lubricated by occasional political and state terrorism, extensive corruption, and organized crime.
