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.
