Part 4/10:
The concept of socioeconomic instability stands at the crux of revolutionary sentiment. Imagine a regime that, while seeking to stabilize through reforms, ignites existing tensions and economic disparities. For instance, during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, systemic injustices like police brutality were scapegoated. However, the underlying angst stemmed from economic realities such as stagnant wages and youth unemployment, which profoundly affected daily lives.
In autocracies, the struggle to maintain power often leads to the elevation of some societal factions while marginalizing others. This dynamic creates fertile ground for revolutionary thought, initiating a cycle that perpetuates resentment and structural injustice.
