Descriere magazin:
A front-row seat to Venezuela\'s most innovative socialist project, with important lessons for movements worldwide Commune or Nothing! Venezuela\'s Communal Movement and Its Socialist Project opens a window on one of the most ambitious revolutionary projects of our time, as it took shape in a country suffering the cruel consequences of US imperialism. In recent years, repeated coup attempts and U.S. sanctions, combined with falling oil prices, have plunged Venezuela into a series of severe shortages leading to malnutrition, sickness, death, and mass migration. Still, as author Chris Gilbert shows, the Venezuelan people have not been passive in the face of these attacks.

Along the way, readers learn how Venezuela\'s communal project draws inspiration from advanced Marxist theory-including the innovative work of István Mészáros-and derives from Indigenous and Afro-Venezuelan traditions of communal self-governance. Titled after the battle cry of this heroic movement, Comuna o Nada!, Commune or Nothing! portrays an expanding network of communes pursuing the strategic goal of-not only overcoming the entire capitalist economy-but transcending the state formations upon which the capital system relies. The communal project in Venezuela has proven the viability of its model of all-round human emancipation as an alternative to the increasingly exploitative, destructive, and unsustainable capital system. For this reason, Commune or Nothing!, like the trailblazing movement it depicts, offers important lessons not only regarding the cons
