> The Nazis got elected, they didn't start a revolution.
Nazi's killed their political opposition, especially Communists.

The Nazis went wild with murdering everyone they didn't like after they got elected (not that they weren't into violence before, but Hitler's attempt at a revolution failed in '23, Hitler was convicted and went to prison). They got elected on a populist vote, but that's not a revolution. Revolution != getting elected by normal proceedings.
> ...got elected on a populist vote...
To my mind, a violent populist movement is a revolution.
It's not contentious term for me.
