Even in our own country I can think of two specific examples of repressive laws & organizations being broken up without a revolution. Look at Teddy Roosevelt busting up various trusts (something that was unprecedented), or the albeit painful development of equal rights for women and blacks. Especially in the case of racial discrimination there were numerous laws to not only enforce discrimination, but disenfranchise those people who the Federal government was explicitely trying to give a voice.
