Here's a list of non-violent revolutions that actually worked out. Of course, in my experience, this tends to only work if the power structure being revolted against actually has the sort of morality or sensitivity to optics that would let them relent on certain points without being slaughtered. If we're talking about a non-violent revolution in today's climate, well, given that the right has become so thoroughly inoculated from reality or any sort of shame to the point where they attempted to overthrow the government just because their preferred candidate lost the election, or that it's become disturbingly common for people to respond to "if you don't get vaccinated, this pandemic is going to keep going on forever" with "then let us die", I highly doubt it. And, since I suspect Macoleco is from Brazil (searching the name gives a lot of results in Portuguese), and what little I know about Bolsonaro tells me that he's even worse than Trump was (at least Trump pushed back a little on his downplaying of COVID after he got it; no such luck with Bolsonaro), I'd put the odds of a successful Non-Violent revolution to be pretty fucking infinitessimal.
