About This Book

The narrative imagines the sudden electoral victory of a populist candidate that ignites violent urban unrest, with terrified elites, rioting masses, and military intervention to restore order. Scenes alternate between street-level chaos in major cities and high political maneuvering as a shadowy kingmaker who delivered key electoral votes exerts influence over the new administration. The work traces the breakdown of civil order, class antagonism, and opportunistic leadership, exploring anxieties about demagoguery, social upheaval, and the fragility of institutions when mass movements and elite power collide.

The Chicago Platform assumes, in fact, the form of a revolutionary propaganda. It embodies a menace of national disintegration and destruction.
