I think revolution can be accomplished without violence, at least until the ownership class resorts to violence to retain their wealth and power, at which point violence is thrust upon us. As Nelson Mandela put it, A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle,and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a point, one can only fight fire with fire. Although Elie Mystal noted if a Democratic triumvirate were to strip SCOTUS of jurisdiction (they can do that without a Constitutional amendment) then SCOTUS might declare that law unconstitutional (it’s not, but this SCOTUS doesn’t really care) and then we can have a situation where some states think the court’s rulings are legit, while others think they’re not, and states might be willing to go to war over it.
