What if the producers forge their plows into swords?
A revolution can be mounted and can be successful in that the regime is overthrown but the resulting government will not be any sort of Democratic or Representative Republic. That requires a population of individualistic producers not tied to family or to welfare. We don’t have that in America and have not had it since the War on Poverty. Two Republics have been founded by populations made up of refugees from the old order who did not bring family or clan ties with them into the new land, Switzerland and the USA. Other revolutions have been either simple coups and conquests or on the French/Bolshevik model. The possible exception to the implied rule is South Korea that had its essentially bloodless revolution that threw out the previous corrupt dictatorial system and replaced it with a functioning democracy.
