At least we have Andor where it's clear most of the Rebels are revolutionaries that get ratfucked by Mon Mothma and her libs.
I read Andor's rebels as a surge of popular discontent against Imperial rule that got hijacked by the deposed ruling class into a movement to restore the old shitty system instead of actually effective change.
Damn I gotta watch that.
It's pretty good. Main character is loosely based on Young Stalin. There's a great speech by Space Lenin that directly quotes Brecht and Gramsci (Gramsci gets a few other quote drops too.)
What are the Gramsci quotes in Andor?
"The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it" comes to mind. Though now that you mention it that might be from Anderson's "Antinomies" critique of Gramsci.
