Abstract
This article adopts a structural, class-based and a political economy approach to the October 17 2019 Revolution in Lebanon inspired by David Harvey’s reading of neoliberalism, class struggles and class alliances. Starting from the re-emergence of a class-based discourse in the streets, and the widespread popular mobilization that crossed social classes, sectarian and regional divides, the article sets out to show that neoliberal sectarianism in Lebanon polarized society between those who control political power and rent seeking capital, and Lebanon’s discontented middle class, and a dispossessed working class. It sets out to argue that the structural effects of neoliberal sectarianism on social classes ushered in the wave of mobilization setting the stage for the 2019 protests. The article also offers preliminary reflections on post 2019 organizing and the challenges to cross-class alliance formation that are needed to shift the balance of class power away from the powerful elites.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
