From Cooperatives to Enterprises of Direct Social Property in the Venezuelan Process

Chapter 11 in Cooperatives and Socialism, 2013, pp 259-275 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The current process of change underway in Venezuela is aimed at the country’s social and economic transformation. While at first the goal was to build a “solidarity-based and humanistic economy,” since 2005, it has been to overcome capitalist logic and social relations by building a “21st Century Socialism”. In January 2007, president Hugo Chavez announced that the challenge was to create workers’ councils in workplaces, which, in the long term, together with other councils (communal, farmers, students, etc.), would replace the bourgeois state with a “communal state.”
