Between Nov. 8 and 9, Venezuela experienced an event unlikely to go unnoticed in the history of Latin American political organizations. During those two days, 145,465 neighborhood assemblies were held, with an average of 20 participants each. The result was that more than 3 million people elected Comprehensive Bolivarian Grassroots Committees (CBBI), which now serve as the primary structure of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

They are doing great over there! Not only are they building the commune system in the entirety of the country but they are also agitating and teaching about it through universities and institutions.

While using the state to protect and encourage the commune system, they are also building dual power to finally shed away the liberal representative democracy! If they succeed, Latin America will experience a new and strong revolutionary wave that will crumble the imperialist domination in the region! The stakes are high!

    I mean if there actually is a full on war it will be a matter of survival. A liberal democratic system, even led by a socialist party, cannot survive. The state must necessarily militarize its organs of governance, mobilize the society, maintain discipline (prevent looting and the like) and suppress the fifth column.
