Reddit mentions of Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela (Jacobin)

This "professor" also wrote a book expounding the virtues of Venezuelan socialism. I wonder how much debt in student loans have gone to support this nutbar.

Edit: found the book on Amazon, the reviews are hilarious: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Commune-Radical-Democracy-Venezuela/dp/1784782238

His commie books are taking a hit on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Building-Commune-Radical-Democracy-Venezuela/dp/1784782238

"In Venezuela, poor barrio residents arose in a mass rebellion against neoliberalism, ushering in a government that institutionalized the communes already forming organically. In Building the Commune, George Ciccariello-Maher travels through these radical experiments, speaking to a broad range of community members, workers, students and government officials. Assessing the projects’ successes and failures, Building the Commune provides lessons and inspiration for the radical movements of today."

I recently read Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela because of content creators I discovered through Destiny.

All the helping each other they discuss sounds terrible. It is no way to base a society. I mean where's the exploitation!?

The masses in Venezuela ARE smack in the middle of a revolution, which is exactly why the "international community" and capitalist press (not to mention the national bourgeoisie) have been so ruthless with them.

It's a little bit outdated but this is the best book I know on Venezuela. Also recommend following the news at www.venezuelanalysis.com

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.
