is there a definitive definition of “revolution” you follow and how do you differentiate it from the standard coup? when does a coup become a revolution?

    I’d say if it has popular support and the new leadership is substantially changing the status quo, especially with regards to the ancien regime’s real power (e.g. cancelling debt, land reform, democratization, other significant reforms that take power away from the previous ruling class) then it is a revolution.
