In theory of course. And please refrain from telling me why a global revolution would not work.

Violence. You want a revolution, you're gonna have to kill some people.

That's not true; there are plenty of logistics roles needed!

In seriousness; bloodless (or relatively bloodless) revolutions exist, but almost every time the ruling class is threatened, they choose the bloody route to cling onto power by any means necessary. I've seen my friends beaten by police just for protesting against the Zionist Regime, and that's not even close to a revolution. So for all intents and purposes, we must accept that the necessary changes to society to fix all this, will end up violent.
