COMMUNAS DE VENEZUELA: Construyendo el poder popular ESP

VENEZUELAN COMMUNES - BUILDING PEOPLE POWER Today, there thousands of communes in Venezuela, envisaged as building blocks for a future socialist society. Venezuela’s communal movement holds important lessons. Since the 1998 election of the late Hugo Chavez, the Bolivarian Revolution has fought to wrest control of Venezuela's oil wealth and channel it into social housing, healthcare, education and poverty busting social projects. The Bolivarian Revolution has presided over an explosion of popular participatory democracy through an expanding network of communes and communal councils. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan revolutionaries have constructed a parallel system of communal democracy and production. But this socialist project is under relentless attack by the US, Britain and European imperialist powers which have imposed devastating sanctions and sponsored coups d’etats, assassination attempts and violent destabilisation in an attempt to snuff out the Bolivarian Revolution. Lessons from Venezuela's communes are key for us today – organising to defeat economic crisis and the asphyxiating blockade, the communes have restructured production to put people before profit and meet the needs of their communities. They are a beacon of inspiration, constructing socialism from the ground up and raising political consciousness alongside social production. This documentary interviews leading communal activists and showcases some of the concrete advances that have been won through this process. We have so much to learn from this important movement. Viva Venezuela! Comuna o nada!
