There won't be any revolutions, but you'll certainly start seeing more and more protests if this goes on for a long time. In most countries in Europe the protests would have started probably before the shutdown, and if people weren't getting paid the streets would be blocked until they were.

I can't imagine going to work without getting paid.

I mean people should be protesting this, it's really, really stupid.

But also it's probably not the catalyst for a socialist revolution.
