* ''[[Animal Farm]]'', based upon the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism, is the epitome of this trope.
* ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]]'' has the Committee of Public Safety taking over the Peoples Republic of Haven which is modeled exactly on the historical French government.

* The rule of The Citizen in ''[[Mistborn|The Hero of Ages]]'' has become this, leading to some of our heroes to attempt a [[Full-Circle Revolution]]. {{spoiler|What they don't realize is that both sides are being influenced by the [[Big Bad]].}}

* ''[[Look to Thethe West]]'' has a close analogue in its own version of [[The French Revolution]], led by Jean-Baptiste Robespierre. He proclaims the "doctrine of continuous warfare," by which the Republic must be in a continuous state of war in order to terrify its people into submission. When [[Full-Circle Revolution|eventually overthrown]] by Jean de Lisieux, he is replaced by a regime which specifically rejects terror tactics and even the death penalty, but instead embraces [[Two Plus Torture Makes Five]].
