Eyewitnesses to 21st century socialism

Issue 

Eyewitness reports on the revolution rapidly unfolding in Venezuela were presented to public meetings around Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Hobart last week. The report-backs, organised by the socialist youth organisation Resistance, featured activists just returned from the first Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Brigade, which took place in July and August. Meeting participants heard inspiring firsthand accounts of the worker-controlled factories, free education and health care, and evolving participatory democracy of the "21st century socialism" that is being created in Venezuela. For information about upcoming Venezuela solidarity events, see page 23.
