Reply to comment by [deleted] in I read The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J Evans and now I'm terrified by Rymbeld

This is a common theme amongst populist uprisings. Another interesting book is "The Storm Before the Storm" by Mike Duncan. It has a lot of parallels as well, especially regarding the Gracchus brothers and the Social Wars. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Yeah if been thinking a lot about the Roman Republic before reading this book. My degree was in classics, so I'm quite familiar with individual politicians having gangs battle it out on the streets
