Revolutionary coalitions vary along territorial-interest and direct-indirect connection axes

Evidence

Another two-dimensional classification clarifies the variation involved. One dimension runs from strictly territorial actors to those organized around interests that span multiple territories. At one end of the continuum, we find long-established local communities; at the other, occupational groups and trade diasporas. The other dimension runs from actors that drew from previously established direct connections to those brought into a revolutionary coalition through indirect connections. The dimension’s direct end includes kinship groups that maintain continuous connections, while the indirect end includes armies in which individual fighting units remain segregated from each other and the main connections run through senior officers. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 999

Many different combinations of political actors created revolutionary situations by concerted opposition to existing states. Another two-dimensional classification clarifies the variation involved.
