I’m not sure that holds without the CIA coming in to facilitate that in a relatively new democracy. If a large country with good institutions voted that way it would be a lot harder to pull off a military coup.
Every system has to be enforced at some level. Even if it’s just the mobs. Having an unenforced system that doesn’t fall to bad faith actors will take a complete change of human psychology.

What if I told you every time that happens the bourgeoisie takes control of the military and starts a civil war to maintain their power?

Voting implies that someone will enforce the results of your vote. That means police and/or military, and that sounds awfully authoritarian to me.
