Revolution can include a large majority of people, but if it did, it’s more likely that a relatively peaceful revolution would be able to take place. Violent revolution is typically thrust upon people. Not everyone will want to or is equipped to be able to do a revolution. It’s not like every American colonist was behind the American revolution. Many were loyalists, many fled, and many did fuck all and watched it happen around them. Some did a little, some did a lot.
All that really required is enough people organized to fight off the people who would fight to keep the current state alive.
I’m a software developer for a consultant company that primarily works with government agencies. We also do work for some non profits and a handful of corporations.
I told my boss when I got hired on that I would want to have say in what type of clients I worked with. They said it was agreeable and that they let all workers have a voice in accepting new contracts, so hopefully it works out. Only been there a few months.
If they took on a contract with the DoD or something similar I would immediately start looking for a new job though
