That should be the tipping point. The people have nothing left to lose now.

Unfortunately, they have no 2nd amendment rights ... so they are essentially screwed unless the police or military (not probable since they have been bought) can be turned. Should be a learning moment there!

You are talking about Venezuela, not here, right? Wonder where/when our tipping point is here in the States.
I think/believe that most successful revolutions have been lead/organized by the wealthy of whatever nation is having a revolution. You notice I said ‘successful’? The reasons most often come down to three types.
1. Conservation of the ‘successful revolutionary’s’ assets that make them wealthy.
2. Desire to take from the other citizen’s or wealthy of the nation so as to increase the ‘successful revolutionaries’ personal wealth or holdings.
3. And most rarely, out the desire to lift the yoke of oppression from their fellow citizens and to have the opportunity for all to become more wealthy.
Why this is so is primarily because the Wealthy already have assets and/or an organization that can be utilized in a successful revolution. Secondly the Wealthy more often than not have the education, desire as well as the ability to allocate productive time towards a revolution of the current government.
The poor, the middle class and the professional class are usually missing one of those elements, (time, organization, money and the desire to overturn the status quo.)
They are already killing dogs, cats and pigeons because they are starving. Mobs after what little rice is left.
We should drop them lots of rope, with instructions:
Definitely cartridge box time in Venezuela. Or machetes.
