Yes but I think it would have to involve almost solely a work strike - general or rotating -
The set up of modern forces would not allow an armed take over of anything - The people could only use the power of no production to stangle the big corperations into some sort of compliance to democracy -
Once that card was played once (and it is considered impossible by most I am sure) there would be instant safe gaurds built that would be so punitive to the worker it would be unlikely to happen again

remember the coup in Honduras that replaced into supported by Obama a couple of minutes after he got here into workplace, the coup in Laos contained in the Sixties, the military invasion of Haiti in 2002 and through the Nineties when we compelled the first democratically elected president in years out of his own united states at gunpoint and compelled him into exile in South Africa. Oh yeah, and how about the assassination of Omar Torrijos of Panama? Or the coup in Guatemala, overthrowing the first democratically elected president contained in the historic previous of the country and setting up a brutal professional-U.S. dictator? I consider the answer some above mine. The U.S. as we talk isn't a lot distinct than Nazi Germany in how they rationalize their overseas coverage. at the same time as this united states collapses, something of the international will welcome its lengthy-awaited destruction, and perhaps the international can finally bypass right into a non violent era. subsequently prayers of billions of human beings international, the U.S. is already on the path to quick give way! even although i'm a U.S. citizen who has lived the following my finished existence, i'm between the few who has the brains to comprehend (and unhappy to appreciate it) that the international will be extra useful off at the same time as this united states is gone.

Nothing is impossible. Where there is a will there is a way. If the Us government continues to ignore the people we might find out. Our country is heading to empire status and that is never good. Our dictator aka commander in chief aka the decider is on a war path and I don't see anyone really trying to stop him.If anyone tries they are deemed a left wing liberal nut job. Don't you love fox news.

They happen every two years. They are called: 'elections.'

its not a probability. 99.9% of civies with weapons don't know how to use them properly. cops and sheriff deputies included. the US armed forces will plow them like talibans.
