      Isn’t revolution a form of vigilantism?

      To use your own argument, wasn’t the KKK trying to cause a revolution?

        No, revolution is not a form of vigilantism.

        Revolution is when you replace the government.

          That doesn’t make it not vigilantism. Vigilantism is when you use force to enforce your values without the backing of the law. That’s what a revolution is too.
