In VZ, opposing the regime is a career-ender, not to mention bad for your health.

Look at who is running the country - all loyalists and relatives of the leadership. There's even a citizens militia, tasked with 'safeguarding the revolution'. Not the best climate for peaceful protest.

Some of the opposition leadership, including Capriles Radonski, got together with Maduro and other government officials on Thursday night in front of national television and each one expressed their ideas for the whole country to see. You'd know about this if you actually paid some attention to what is really going on in Venezuela. Not that the dialogue worked anything, though, since today the national guard started shooting tear gas into opposition protests again.
