I think Ghandi led a non-violent revolution, to be fair
Ghandi’s revolution succeeded through mass noncompliance.
Nonviolence was a luxury Ghandi could afford during the revolution because Indians outnumbered British soldiers by something like 20k to 1. There was no world where the recently weakened UK (after WW2) could hold India once it decided to become independent.
Diversity of tactics, yo. Different situations call for different actions. I would say you won’t find any revolutions that were wholly either violent or nonviolent. Strikes and work stoppages are not inherently violent, but are powerful revolutionary tools all the same. Yes, capitalism will almost invariably react with violence, which the people must absolutely be prepared to defend themselves against.
No doubt it’s a backslide, but it’s still a revolution where the entire country stood up and said “fuck this, let’s change things” and no one got hurt. It’s possible if people want to change the system.
The goal of the link was to show the possibility of change without violence. It’s absolutely possible. For now, skip past the details of what flag fell and what rose up - Capitalism can be stopped when people see another way and are tired of what they are going through. Right now they only see details of history and miss the potential for what happened and how it started.
I dont think that’s an accurate portrayal of history, also this just proves that communist states can peacefully transition not capitalist ones if we take what you said as given
