Start new religion. Few sermons, overturning few tables in a temple and provoking violent retribution. Chance that elite will reorient it's aspirations from militarism into monasticism and the evil empire will be a toast.
Organize a small band of hardened cadres and wait for your opportunity. Major war not going as well as planned or other crisis, few million frustrated citizens with arms and your small cadre have a chance to take over largest country on Earth.
Combine both - thirty years of exhausting war plus new religion and you can take over everything from Afghanistan to Morocco in just few years.
Refuse violence and keep repeating your arguments despite oppression - it might take shorter then you think - like British leaving India or Soviet Union leaving Central Europe and Central Asia.
Just few examples of impossible and unthinkable happening.
