Note that it explicitly states "by force or violence" at the end of each statement of "what you can't do." You can legally do all of those things. You can try to overthrow the government, local, state, or federal. You can completely dismantle that which exists, and the government itself does not consider that illegal. You just can't employ violence or "force" to do it. In other words, you can convince people to make the change by any method you desire that is not "violent" or "forceful".
By definition, convincing people to make change is propaganda. The word means "information designed to change beliefs." It is through a change in belief that governments are overthrown.
Importantly, it is through propaganda, this change in belief, that all governments have been overthrown, excepting of course those that have been just wiped out. Even these "propaganda wars" required violence, because those with power do not give up their power. But the sequence of events is, you put out propaganda that changes belief, and if those beliefs lead to violence which overthrows the government, legally, you have done nothing wrong.
This is exactly how every revolution in the "Enlightenment" was conducted. Propaganda changed belief which itself encouraged violence. AFTER that happened, then there were dissidents who would have broken this law. The point is, starting a revolution, even a violent one, requires first changing belief, which is accomplished through propaganda. When propaganda is on a large enough scale, we call it a "psyop."
Every war is won before the first shot is fired.
