    A revolution inherently gets rid of the checks and balances. The problem is the time period before new ones are set up.

      That’s why you set up the org that carries out the revolution in a democratic manner with checks and balances to begin with.

      Please read theory.

        A revolution in a democratic manner? We are taking about a violent armed revolution, right? For that, you need a military power structure, and big charismatic leaders to rally behind. There’s no way a revolution would try to hold fair elections while they are fighting.

          Sounds like you need to read theory and history. Marxists have advocated for democratic organizational structures for centuries.
