That's what a coup is.

A coup is a revolutionary movement with mass support? Are all revolutions coups?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A coup is the violent overthrow of a government, so if the revolution is violent, yeah.

That's a bit goofy, but then I will amend the original statement with clarity: revolutionaries do not necessarily support random individual movements, but mass revolutionary action among the workers.

You're contradicting yourself little buddy, just earlier you were claiming that mass popular support is democracy. But apparently an uprising of the oppressed is just a coup. 🤡
