They did not set up mechanisms whereby the government could be replaced (it was a single party system). The state also created totalitarian and despotic structures with an enormous secret police which would arrest and dispose of any people seen to be dissenting. Thus while there was general resentment, there could not be any PUBLIC opposition. People were too scared.

What right can't be taken away?
There are not any rights that can be taken away. Rights, natural rights as distinguished from civil rights or statutory rights, are inherent in people and not preexist governments therefore governments can not grant those rights, then governments can take those rights away. When it appears that governments do, that appearance lacks the proper perspective. When governments take away the natural rights of people they did so because those people surrendered their rights. The tapestry of freedom has long since been stained with the blood of those across the world, through out history who dared stand tall and defend their rights. Untold millions of people throughout history as do today, living in substandard conditions in some prison because they dared to stand tall and fight for freedom. For those people, despite the governments best efforts, no rights were taken away, only disparaged, abrogated and derogated, but never taken away.
