Many of the revolutionaries replaced even more brutal governments but realistically its only ever been where people were fully denied rights that revolutions were successful. Example: its well understood that the british empire ended slavery after a series of slave revolts. Cubans also had less rights than vacationing american mobsters under batista.

Often more developed countries get better mechanisms to resolve disputes: elections, courts, regulations, insurance, strikes, etc.

Its best to use those before pursuing violence.
