Historical Scenario #4: Its 88 BCE and Rome is at war with herself once again. Marius and Sulla are fighting for control of Rome, with Marius being a populist and Sulla an conservative aristocrat. Both wish for absolute power. Who do you side with?
Marius only ended up like that because of the Pleurisy. Sulla stripped the tribunes of the plebs of almost all their power, and killed what little power the plebs had left. That's worse.
This historical scenario harkens back to the political dichotomies of the original scenarios, but both end in the same way. It isn't a question of ideology, but of method. Who's seizure of power is preferable to you?
