I see how you can overthrow the people from their position of leadership, if they had it, obviously that has happened largely in the US in recent history, but I was asking more about overthrow in a broader sense, given that displacing/removing/killing hundreds of millions of people isn't something that can easily be done. The wording of this comment made me think of the latter sense of overthrow, as opposed to just leadership, because to my reading that is what is meant.
How do you overthrow the people? Does that scenario ever actually come into play in practical terms?
It's literally happening to the USA right now (and has been, for decades) and you're seriously asking that question?
