The trick, imo is if you call for chaos and violence to get from a to b.
If you do, you're admitting to being ok with a gamble, and that "your brand" wins out, that the power vacuum is filled in an orderly manner, and that a greater level of peace and "quality" of society arrives after the dust settles.
I think prefiguration is key. It's important to have the new system already established to fill the power vacuum before a despot can
For sure. I'm not shitting on change, I'm only calling out that if someone successfully invokes chaos, there's 50%ish of people who see that vacuum with very different eyes
