Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

American Revolution. French Revolution. Iranian Revolution.
Just a few very violent, and successful, revolutions.
I don't really know if I'd consider the French revolution very succesful, considering the fact that the Bourbon dynasty was restored after only 16 years.
For how long? Irrelevant answer. The French Revolution was about shifting the ruling from nobility to bourgeoise and it's exactly what happened. Valid to this very day.
I'd argue the French revolution is probably one of the most successful.
Who's going to fight in your violent revolution? You? We couldn't even get all the people who voted for Biden to Vote for Kamala. Right now a large portion of African Americans are refusing to join the protest movement against encroaching fascism because Trump is somehow a "white people problem." How do you think a revolutionary army or even an insurrection of sufficient strength to challenge the United States Government would ever take hold when there is zero solidarity among the left? We can't even get people to vote in their own interest, let alone support a violent revolution. This is pure fantasy.
