    That’s why you set up the org that carries out the revolution in a democratic manner with checks and balances to begin with.

    Please read theory.

      A revolution in a democratic manner? We are taking about a violent armed revolution, right? For that, you need a military power structure, and big charismatic leaders to rally behind. There’s no way a revolution would try to hold fair elections while they are fighting.

        Sounds like you need to read theory and history. Marxists have advocated for democratic organizational structures for centuries.

          But they don’t actually put it in place because of the pressures during a revolution.

            Pressures on the system from destabilization are threats of revolution, hence revolutionary pressure.

              Do you think a democratic bureaucratic fully checked and balanced revolution would succeed in overthrowing the structure?
