Have you read The Anti-Coup by Gene Sharp?

https://www.aeinstein.org/books/the-ant-coup/

“As coups are one of the primary ways through which dictatorships are installed, this piece details measures that civilians, civil society, and governments can take to prevent and block coups d'état and executive usurpations. It also contains specific legislative steps and other measures that governments and non-governmental institutions can follow to prepare for anti-coup resistance.”

It’s five bucks of prevention info. It’s useful.

Gene Sharp was the man.

- The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Gene Sharp (1928- 2018)
in 1983 to advance the study and use of strategic nonviolent action in conflict.

We are committed to the defense of freedom, democracy, and the reduction of political

of nonviolent action in conflicts, to explore its policy potential, and to communicate this
through print and other media, translations, conferences, consultations, and workshops...
