Lower classes intended mutiny (8)

I believe the answer is:

defiance

'mutiny' is the definition.

'lower classes intended' is the wordplay.
'lower classes' becomes 'de' (I've seen this in other clues).
'intended' becomes 'fiance' (I've seen this before).
'de'+'fiance'='DEFIANCE'

(Other definitions for defiance that I've seen before include "show of rebellion" , "Aggressiveness" , "Resistance to authority" , "Disregard for authority" , "Hostile challenge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
