whose aim it has been to - first, prevent his election, then, since that day, to unseat him, waging a campaign that includes using violence (not for themselves though of course) to force him from office. Would you recommend the same thing?

But no I would not recommend the president meet with them but I would recommend he meet with oeople who disagree with them.

That's why they don't bother to apply it to their own preferred politicians. Maduro's government can, and should, meet with people that have legitimate grievances and address their issues as best as possible. But the biggest protests are aligned with the opposition that are demanding he resign after a year in office.

I suppose Obama should have resigned after the Teabaggers had their rallies opposing the ACA. After all, if hundreds of thousands of people demonstrate against you, the only fair thing to do is resign and hold new elections.

Only to be rejected when the people's suffering continues. Too many hands, other than Venezuelans, are in the pie.

usually fare under capitalism?

governing like an incompetent tyrant in the name of the revolution advances the oligarch's agenda moreso than any Koch brothers money could.
