    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.

          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?

                    USSR and PRC had really bad checks and balances since they let dictators consolidate power and form cults of personality. You really think those are good examples of your point? Have you read entirely different histories than I have? Which books do you recommend then?
