Violent revolutions are very rare and nowadays only happen if a significant part of the military takes part. Historically there was a short window of time when revolutions were likely to succeed; after the invention of the printing press and when reading became somewhat common (which allowed for the organization of a revolution) and basically up until the invention of tanks. After that any financially stable regime that maintains leadership of the army can in 99% of the cases suppress any revolutionary attempts. The gap in firepower between an armed militia (with rifles) and a modern military with drones, jets, MLRS, tanks, artillery etc. is simply too large.
