The military doesn't exist in a vaccum. Guerilla warfare is just as much about making the society that upholds the military question the situation. This also will lead other powers, other Governments to consider the idea of supporting the revolutionaries as the French did during the American revoutionary war.
Aside from this it is a matter of psychology; the revolutionary jailed for civil disobedience will believe in their cause to the extent that while they are jailed and broken in body, their spirit cannot be broken. The only way military technology could break this desire for freedom woud be if the Generals decided to just go and blow up the world and everyone in it.
