    You’re grievously (heh) discounting the importance of the proletariat/working stiff groups in the Rebellion but otherwise really solid points. And you could certainly argue that the governing and corporate interests were the foundations that the grassroots support coalesced around.

      It was the petit bourgeoisie that started the French Revolution after the Estates General of 1789 and the commoners followed them. I was basing the Rebel Alliance after them, hinted at since among the promoted soldiers in Rebel Alliance command were not-just-a-few nobles.

      ETA: Of course the people should, if they can on their own, seize the means of production and overthrow the ownership class. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS! 💣
