Lol How do you go from a protest to a coup d'état?

There was a revolution or two that started as simple protests...

There are many fundamental difference between standing armies and/or organized militias and violent mobs in terms of scale, martial effectiveness, negotiations, treaties and post-conflict continuation.

Mobs don't win wars, they merely destroy and the rest is left to fate, often with disastrous results(see Libya as an example).

Mobs can't sit at the negotiation table

Mobs can't agree to treaties and enforce them

Mobs can't form proper functioning and recognized government.

> Mobs don't win wars, they merely destroy and the rest is left to fate

You seriously can't think of any counterexamples to that? Like maybe some French (contemporary and historical), German or Russian counterexamples?

In all three of your examples, mobs didn’t win any wars. Organized political factions won wars, which usually came after a period of chaos.

People always forget that the Russian Revolution was followed by war between the Whites and the Reds.

"Mobs don't win, organized political factions win" also characterizes the outcomes of peaceable protest, so what's your point?
