      The united states, every four years.

      The only reason that particular transfer of power is not called a revolution is because it isn’t violent. It’s kind of in the definition of the word. Peaceful transfers of power exist though.

        That isn’t a revolution that’s an election.

        They don’t, power comes from violence. Please effectively exert authority without using violence, id love an example.

                  Forgive me for assuming you considered violence to be bad.

                  Since we’ve presupposed that all authority must in some way stem from the threat of violence, a hatred for violence cannot exist without a hatred for authority.
