Anti-elite

The Zapatista revolt is an example of an anti-elite rebellion exacerbated by the growing wealth-poverty divide, and the Gulf War was essentially a resource war, fought over the control of Persion Gulf oil between an autocratic leader with regional ambitions and a powerful coalition of oilimporting states.

Communism played an analogous role in the formation of the anti-elites of the 1920s, which subsequently became the transforming force of the Liberal Party in the 1930s and 1940s.
