There are countless examples of the people doing something about it even when the tools provided by a democracy aren't available. I agree it's significantly more difficult, extremely so, but we shouldn't pretend it is completely out of the question. It isn't given enough desire by the people to do it.

Also a reason to fight for your democracy when you still have it ofc. The Russians had that option too but they didn't do it in time...

As long as I see a North Korea on the map, I know that you can successfully suppress your civilization forever.

You are obviously right, that it is not out of question, and I hope things like that happen rather sooner than later. But if we are realistic about this, chances of this happening are very low. Look at the US and what a government is able to do to its people and how much get tolerated. It is crazy.
