So I'm returning to my old habit of getting shitfaced, reading leftist theory and then reinterpreting it as whisky soaked, horrifically unbalanced D&D subclasses (now for 5.5).

Some have already been said, but figure I'd try. I got 3 that come to mind.

Spirit of revolution: Touched by a magical entity of libiration.

Class traitor: Born to privilege, uses influence to aide

Blood of martyrs: Descends from a line of revolutionaries that have taken on a near defied status.

Sorcerer was raised by Marxist grandparents who have been on the lam for years after throwing that molotov cocktail at the duke's carriage.

Sorcerers get their power from lineage or arcane events, right? So, they have been Infused by the Spirit of the Revolution: either as an unwilling witness of one or as a willing participant, you have been marked to lead it. Spells and features focused on crowd control & freedom of movement

The framing of the Spirit of Revolution as a supernatural entity that gives magic powers is an interesting implication... 'a Spectre is haunting our Realm.'

That's kinda what I was going for. To take it further, it could be a pseudo-patron that possesses someone to carry out its purpose and then leaves for a new host after the revolution either succeeds or kills its host. It's a sorcerer with a time limit.

Maybe the privileged education helped him learn and he’s willing to fire ball from the inside

So a 'Class Traitor' Sorcerer? 😂

Yup! Or like Daenerys she was born with the magic, the royal blood, the power and chose to ☠️ enslavers, free the enslaved and support women of all walks because she lived with them for a long time. (Ignore the las seasons they ruin her)

The defining feature of Sorcerer is the Sorcerer points right? The ability to customise and "break" the rules? Maybe lean into that:
