If it can possibly be done without a revolution, that is by far the better and easier choice.
Revolutions are messy, difficult, a great time for power seekers to consolidate power and eliminate the competition, and in the history of mankind, most of them have not resulted in positive change.
They are extremely dangerous, and should never be considered anything other than an absolute last resort when nothing else has any hope of working anymore.
Famine is probably a good indicator of when the situation is bad enough for a revolution to be a potentially rational choice. If significant portions of the population are in danger of famine, then it may be time for a revolution. We are quite far from that point still, fortunately.
