I wouldn't underestimate what can happen if 1/3 of your workforce is displaced and put aside with nothing to do.
People are usually obedient because they have something in life and they are very busy with work. So they don't have time or headspace to really care about politics. When suddenly big numbers of people start to more care about politics it leads to organizing and all kinds of political changes.
