Maduro should quietly leave and fly to Havana. If he stands against the people much longer the chances of him living through a government change get smaller and smaller.

I hope the new guy is listens to the capitalist and ends this foolish socialism.

The only way they're going to get Maduro out is if the military turns against him...they have the guns, the people, unfortunately, only have signs. Frankly, I can't believe someone in his government has disposed of him, yet.

Any idea if there are enough people in the army to turn on Maduro? Because that's the only way they can be successful, otherwise I pity them because they are going to get slaughtered.

Yeah, they're pretty much screwed. The only change they can hope for is a military dictatorship. The only way he gets overthrown is through the military and it's not like they are going to cede power back to the people.

My guess is that this march will end with our own media telling us that "this is a positive sign that Maduro is liberalizing his policies and letting people march without government intervention. Such a brave leader."

Hopefully Maduro will get the Nicolae Ceausescu treatment.

Given a chance, those demonstrators would vote the same way today that they did 10 and 15 years ago.

They're not protesting for freedom.

Hope they succeed in a peaceful overthrow and Maduro doesn’t massacre a lot of innocent people.

What side is the military on?

Yea they need some military defections. Do they have backing?

Also that’s a lot of people. Is Maduro willing to massacre them to keep power? This is going to be interesting

It seems they recently killed off the military defectors, so it would appear that the military backs Maduro, at least at surface level. Hard to know the truth here though.

Venezuela claims it has foiled attempted military uprising

Not confident in their decision making skills. They gave the country to the socialists in the first place.
