"The revolution is only necessary in a representative democracy when a minority wants to impose their will on the majority because they are so convinced they know better."
Disagree. It may also become necessary if a majority (especially a slight majority) imposes intolerable rule on the minority because they are so convinced they know better. Ask a German Jew. An alternative is succession which is intended to avoid mortal conflict with former friends.
Our system provides an avenue to address those grievances without resorting to insurrection. Succession isn't it. Succession is only achieved through mortal combat.
