It could mean no revolution happens ever again and the currently established dictatorships stay as they are forever.

Revolutions aren't the only thing that can end a dictatorship.

For example, Adolf Hitler was toppled by losing a war.

East Germany was toppled (partially) because their economy was broke, not because of lack of face recognition.

Stalin was toppled by death. There was still a dictatorship after him, but it did not stays as it was under Stalin.

See also PR China under Mao and under Deng Xiaoping. Very different regimes.

Could be, could be. My country overthrew communism non-violently as well afterall - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution

But it seems to me, that it's going to be impossible to revolt against a party who controls an obedient killbot army.

Hitler was a special case, since he played the dumb world domination game.
