When I saw this article, I thought of the "Pendulum" material, and of repeating events.
The C's indicated that the pendulum of energy does happen, and perhaps looking at these similarities might hold a few clues?.
Just how and what is going to happen this "swing"...I am just guessing of course.
I also think the term "Communards" sounds pretty accurate!
Seattle’s ‘Autonomous Zone’ and the Paris Commune of 1871 Are Ominously Similar
The radical fiefdom in Seattle has a bleak precedent.

"'Autonomous zone' has armed guards, local businesses being threatened with extortion."
That was quite a striking headline to behold. My immediate reaction was, “Oh my gosh, the Paris Commune is back!”
Except that it wasn’t Paris, and it wasn’t 1871.
It was Seattle, Washington, USA—today.
According to multiple reports, radical protesters seized a six-block area of the city. They declared it a police-free fiefdom, posted armed guards at its perimeter, began extorting money from local businesses (normally called “taxation”) and were even requiring residents to provide ID to enter their own homes.
The Paris Commune that lasted just 70 days in the spring of 1871 was born amid the ruins of France’s wartime loss at the hands of Prussia in the fall of the previous year.
When the Prussians captured France’s Emperor Napoleon III, the monarchy collapsed, and the French Third Republic was born. In Versailles, just a few miles from Paris, its leaders sat on their hands as Parisians stewed in the toxic juices of defeat, resentment, and a rising tide of Marxist-inspired class warfare. The voices of the big mouths increasingly drowned out those of the more moderate citizens who preferred to get the city back to normal and work for a living.
On March 18, 1871, the socialist radicals seized the upper hand in the City of Lights. They occupied government buildings and ousted or jailed their opposition. It was a “People’s Revolution” (unless you were one of the people who didn’t support it).
Karl Marx’s communist scribblings provided the radicals—called “Communards”—with their primary inspiration, but Marx himself later criticized their failure to immediately seize the Bank of France and march on the government in Versailles. In the early days of the Paris Commune, however, he hoped he was witnessing a fulfillment of his own delusions:[...]
