Venezuelan communes are radical experiments in grassroots democracy and economic production that attempt to “concretize utopia.” Atenea Jiménez (Network of Communers, Venezuela) and George Ciccariello-Maher (Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, New York) examine the communes’ history, achievements, and present challenges. Presented by the UMass Amherst History Department's Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series, Oct 17, 2018, UMass Amherst. English transcript forthcoming.
