What is the difference between an ordinary bourgeois government and a government which is extraordinary, revolutionary, and which does not regard itself as bourgeois?
An ordinary bourgeois government can ban demonstrations only on constitutional grounds and after declaring martial law.
An extraordinary and near-socialist government can ban demonstrations without any grounds and on the strength of “facts” known to it alone.
