I’m joined by Cira Pasqual Marquina, author and educator at the Pluriversidad Patria Grande and co-host with Chris Gilbert of the Marxist education program and podast Escuela de Cuadros. I ask her: how are Venezuelans seeing this buildup? What is the analysis of the regional context? Why is the US doing this now? What the Venezuelan revolution is really about. And some speculations for the “day after” the US attack happens.
I just started this book: https://chrisgilbert.site/commune-or-nothing/
It was written in very close collaboration with Cira Pasqual Marquina. I strongly recommend people read it to understand that defending the Bolvarian Revolution is not just your big standard anti-imperialism. The communal socialism building there is some of the most valuable and inspiring work of socialist construction in human history. It MUST be preserved and protected so that it can continue to develop and act as a model for socialism across the planet.
thank you, I am going to check this out!“Building the Commune” is another good book on this subject also.
