    Revolution can only effectively happen with a mass worker movement, yes. Communists aren’t advocating for coups.

    Please read any revolutionary theory, even Lenin. None advocate for coups.

        Took advantage of a wildly unpopular government during WWI to hold a revolution, taking the Winter Palace.

        It wasn’t just a random strike and coup, but a revolutionary movement backed by a mass of workers.

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

              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.
