I know, right? These people really saw dominators oppressing people at the barrel of a gun and thought, "guess I should be holding the gun". That's not a new insight, it's the same thing every oppressor says. They also will all tell you, "I am the special person who knows what's best for you and can be trusted with this gun." Again, nothing new here.
Well it does no really. The people with the guns often don't have much political power. They just follow what other people tell them. From the other side of the barrel it doesn't seem like that though.
Is there the occasional political power behind a gun? Sure, but commonly not
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.
