I mean look at the dissolution of the USSR, for instance. Or Hungary recently, although how much of a revolution that is is sort of up in the air. Or Spain. I think the numbers are something like once 3% of the population is in the streets you’re donezo.
I mean, also, like, India was directly and very much this.
That isn’t to cast aspersions on violent revolution, but it’s more of a narrative than reality, at least now.

Shelling your parliament with a tank isn’t violent?

those were contra-revolutionaries tbh, opposing Gorbachev’s good deeds, and they were then defeated in a non violent way too.

I mean there was violence but who is calling that a “violent revolution?” Come on. I doubt there has ever been a revolution without a single instance of violence, but you are well aware that that’s not what we’re talking about, comma fucker.
