Deerwood: You are very wrong, provided two crucial preconditions are met:
1: The people have some means with which to resist, even if those means are humble.
2: The people are so aggrieved by their government that they are willing to support it's armed overthrow.
If the government is more or less acting in the best interests of it's people, successful insurrection is not possible, it will sputter out and die. If that government has turned bad, then no amount of technology can prevent revolt from within if enough people stand and fight.
