What if I told you every time that happens the bourgeoisie takes control of the military and starts a civil war to maintain their power?

I'm not sure that holds without the CIA coming in to facilitate that in a relatively new democracy. If a large country with good institutions voted that way it would be a lot harder to pull off a military coup.
