Germany welcomes Belgium with bombs

When Belgium and France invaded the Ruhr in 1923 instead of mildly passive resistance, the German people reacted a lot more violently? In rl France pulled out eventually but if the allies are faced with active resistance then they would probably stay longer. So what would be the effects of the collapse of the German, British, and French economies assuming the dawes plan is butterflied?
 
The long-term effect depends on how long the resistance movement can sustain the campaign. If it is just sporadic actions by some individuals or small isolated groups, the occupiers would quickly put them down.

Success factory for such an insurgency would be


  • Reliable support by local civilian population
  • Autonomous cells loosely coordinated by civilian leadership
  • Efficient intelligence network to detect infiltration and traitors
  • Financial and logistical support from German areas outside French control
  • Professional experience in guerilla and commando warfare
Pretty much what all insurgencies need. The last point should not be a problem given all the WW1 veterans organized in Freikorps.

I am not quite sure why exactly the insurgency didn't happen to that extent. There were enough Freikorps, but either they didn't have the resources to fight such a guerilla war, or their primary goal was the downfall of the Weimar Republic, hoping to deal with the French after that. Also they were enganged in operations against communists and Polish insurgencies in Silesia.
