I find this stuff so interesting, but there are never enough details to satisfy me when I read these kinds of news stories. It really tickles that part of my brain that just enjoys finding optimizations and efficiencies, but applied to a mass political movement and a people’s democracy. How can we ensure that all parties are involved, engaged, and that their ideas and concerns reach a national stage and inform broader changes? How do we bridge the gap between local, regional, and national characteristics and meet the demands of all three spheres? This level of organization sounds interesting, and I’d love to read about the details.
it’s the most hardcore version of democracy in action.
If you are interested in learning in a deeper way about Venezuela, then Chris Gilbert’s book may help:
Thanks; I’ll put this on my list! Now I need similar books for China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc lol.
For China, there are plenty of books and sources that talk about how the National People’s Congress work but I won’t recommend any because I have yet to read my long waiting list of books jaja 😅. Maybe, in AskLemmygrad, a comrade could recommend you a good book about it.
Same case for Vietnam. I don’t have sources at this moment about their democracy.
Venezuela is the cutting edge of building popular socialist democracy anywhere in the world
