It has became harder to rebel and fight the government nowadays with tanks and modern military stuff

I don't blame anyone for being scared, but at some point it has to be done. If the Vietnamese people won, so can all of us.

Usually, yes. However, in cases like the Bolivarian revolution, the millitary sides with the people. It's a bit more complicated than that.

that was almost 2 centuries ago and at a time when guerillas could viable combat a military.

I mean the modern Bolivarian revolution, helmed by Hugo Chavez 2 decades ago, not Bolivar himself.
