A coup is a revolutionary movement with mass support? Are all revolutions coups?

A coup is the violent overthrow of a government, so if the revolution is violent, yeah.

That's a bit goofy, but then I will amend the original statement with clarity: revolutionaries do not necessarily support random individual movements, but mass revolutionary action among the workers.
