    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.

        What counts as violence? Does a parent disciplining their child by taking their dessert away count as violence?

          Yes

          behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

            Do you propose, then, that everyone should be allowed to do as they please with absolutely zero rules?

                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.

                  I ask again, point to where I added my opinion on the matter.

                  What exactly is your point.

                    This thread started because you asked someone to name a single nonviolent revolution. Such a thing cannot possibly exist, especially considering your inexplicably broad definition of that word.

                    You cannot seriously equate shooting someone with taking a child’s dessert away, simply because you consider them both to be violence. Considering this I’m a bit confused as to your point.
