While authors on Venezuela commonly concentrate on former president Hugo Chávez and government politics, this book shows how workers, peasants and the poor in urban communities engage in building 21st century socialism through popular movements, communal councils, communes and fighting for workers' control. In a relationship of cooperation and conflict with the state, social transformation is approached on 'two tracks', from below and from above. Azzellini’s fascinating account stands out because of the extensive empirical examples and original voices from movements, communal councils, communes and workers.Historical materialism book series ;Volume 133.SocialismVenezuelaWorks councilsVenezuelaCommunity organizationVenezuelaSocial movementsVenezuelaVenezuelaPolitics and government1999-VenezuelaSocial conditions1999-Electronic books.SocialismWorks councilsCommunity organizationSocial movements335.0987Azzellini Dario1967-904407Sublette NedMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136648903321Communes and workers' control in Venezuela2022184UNINA
