      Yeah, my character is realizing that the nobles that want to depose the king in favor of a ruling council are themselves just as corrupt if not more, and that the only real answer is a worker’s revolution. So this might end up being a bit of an influence in this weekend’s events.

      I mean, we use different terms (“social contract”, “law and order”, “state monopoly on violence”), but that’s what it boils down to.
