The demands have been varied but have expressed a consistent commitment to the ideals of radical democracy. Similar experiments began appearing across Latin America twenty - five years ago just as the left fell into decline in Europe. In Venezuela poor barrio residents arose in a mass rebellion against neoliberalism ushering in a government that institutionalized the communes already forming organically. In Building the Commune George Ciccariello - Maher travels through these radical experiments speaking to a broad range of community members workers students and government officials. Assessing the projects successes and failures Building the Commune provides lessons and inspiration for the radical movements of today.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Building The Commune Radical Democracy In Venezuela\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Maher Geo\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781784782238\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 144 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Jacobin\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Political Structures: Democracy","brand":"Maher Geo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623413162289,"sku":"IN-G-9781784782238","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781784782238.jpg?v=1724766822","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781784782238-building-the-commune-radical-democracy-in-venezuela","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
