The Commune of Caracas
The Commune of Caracas is a community organization structure within Venezuela's political system, where residents come together to manage local issues collectively. It emphasizes decentralized governance, allowing residents to participate directly in decision-making, project implementation, and resource management at the neighborhood level. This approach aims to empower communities, foster local development, and enhance citizen participation, aligning with socialist ideals of shared responsibility and grassroots involvement. Essentially, the commune serves as a bridge between the government and citizens, promoting social cohesion and localized control over community needs.
