Lenin didn’t coup the Tsars, he couped the fledgling Russian Republic. The Tsar has been in prison for more than six months by then.
Nevertheless, the point still stands, a small amount of people can successfully overturn a government. If you need a more recent example, Jan 6th almost succeeded. Imagine if they were just as organized as Lenin’s people.
Not saying it would be a good thing.
That is utter nonsense. January 6th disrupted something that was essentially ceremonial.
All of our institutions are ceremonial. If everything went to plan there, and they only did not due to sheer incompetence, they would have blown up the capitol building and would have massacred congress people.
Where on Earth did you hear the plan was to blow up the Capitol Building?
First of all, do you know how many explosives that would take?
It’s common knowledge at this point that explosives were planted, here is the wiki link for the sources. Of course, the point was not the demolition of the building complex, but the staging of an attack.
In 1933, one chamber of the Reichstag was set on fire, which ended in the mass arrests of communist opposition members, and the solidifying of Hitler’s power in Germany.
Is it a stretch that bombs planted at the RNC building of all places would have served a similarly good excuse to arrest Trump’s political enemies? Just replace the communists with “antifa”.
Yes, I know a handful of pipe bombs were found. You could not possibly destroy a giant stone building with them.
Have you ever even been to the Capitol building?
I’m sorry, but can you reread my comment past the first sentence? I’m saying they were not there to destroy the whole place wholesale, they were there, so the bomb attack could be spun into whatever they wanted afterwards.
Like the Reichstag fire that did not actually burn the whole Reichstag either, just one room.
I reread this comment. Did you make it? It looks like your username.
It’s not my fault you decided to move the goalposts from “blow up the building” to “Reichstag fire.”
Neither of which would have stopped Biden from being president, incidentally.
Are we arguing degrees of destruction, or whether Jan 6th was dangerous at all? Why are we arguing in the first place?
All I’m saying is that it could have been much, much worse, and the last semblances of American democracy was on the line, is still on the line.
