The particular character of what Hugo Chávez called the Bolivarian process lies in the understanding that social transformation can be constructed from two directions, “from above” and “from below.” Bolivarianism—or Chavismo—includes among its participants both traditional organizations and new autonomous groups; it encompasses both state-centric and anti-systemic currents.
An Interview with Dario Azzellini
Workers Control and/or Worker Cooperatives?

GEO: Dario, your co-edited book, Ours to Master and To Own, Workers Control from the Commune to the Present, presents a rich variety of worker control initiatives. These have taken place not only in Europe, but in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, the USA, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, and other countries. Can you clarify for us what these examples have in common, and what you see as their importance?

Venezuela. Il controllo operaio
Nei primi anni della presidenza Chávez, quella del controllo operaio era un’idea
sostenuta solo da un piccolo gruppi di lavoratori e dallo stesso Presidente, che di quando in quando si dichiarava a suo favore. Le nazionalizzazioni nel settore industriale sono iniziate solo nel 2005, e in un primo momento sono state una risposta alle occupazioni di fabbriche e alle manifestazioni dei lavoratori e delle lavoratrici.

Rezension von Dario Azzellini
Ralf Hoffrogge: Richard Müller. Der Mann hinter der Novemberrevolution.
"Der heute weitgehend unbekannte Richard Müller war Leiter der Revolutionären Obleute und politisch „zwischen 1916 und 1921 eine der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Arbeiterbewegung“ (S. 216) in Deutschland. Die Revolutionären Obleute waren eine der Gruppen, die zu den Organisatoren der Massenstreiks 1916–1918 gehörten, und die einzige Organisation, die gegen den Krieg arbeitete und über eine Verankerung in den Betrieben verfügte.
Und sie waren die zentrale Stütze der Novemberrevolution 1918.
