#2 All successful revolutions are built by the middle classes. The rich can usually buy what they want, and the poor are too uneducated, unskilled and busy to do it.

Their opponents as well, of course.

#7 "Bolivarian Circles of Venezuela Frontline Defense for National Democratic Revolution."

But where's the socialist bit? Or does that come later? 'cuz you know, it all starts out with those innocuous political clubs.

#8 So, does the bona-fide Venezuelan military have the stones to stop this tin pot dictator - while he can still be stopped? Forming a private army certainly should be the wake-up call to anyone truly dense enough to think he's not a dictator in the making.

Go ahead, gentlemen, remove this wart from Venezuela's nose - now! You know you'll get all the support you need from you know where and you know who. That's right - the Venezuelans. He stole the election - you'll have tons of support. Just do it.
