Communes, Anti-Imperialism and National Liberation

In this episode, we explore the pivotal role of communes in socialist construction and anti-imperialist struggles, featuring insights from writer Chris Gilbert and fellow VA staff member Cira Pascual Marquina. Gilbert and Pascual Marquina were guest editors of the latest issue of Monthly Review, "Communes in Socialist Construction." Our discussion delves into the definition and significance of Venezuelan communes, the reconstruction of Marx's theory of the commune, as well as the slogan "Commune or Nothing!" and its implications for anti-imperialist struggles in Latin America and beyond.
