Summary of Universidad en Casa - PIU. Núcleo Venezuela Potencia Productiva. Clase 6

00:00:00 - 00:30:00

This video discusses the process of power expansion, and how it begins with the logical middle ground. From there, a different kind of relationship is formed between the people and the government, and this leads to the development of a participatory planning process. This process is different from traditional planning in that it takes into account the needs of the community from the start. It also involves the proactive participation of the people in the design of the plan.

• 00:00:00 In this YouTube video, Universidad en Casa - PIU. Núcleo Venezuela Potencia Productiva. Class 6, we'll be discussing a process of teaching learning in the context of the Venezuelan university introduction program specifically the Venezuela Power Producing Nucleus. Remember Universidad en Casa is the central state program to ensure students in Venezuela can complete their university studies from their homes and that voluntary social retirement does not affect the formation of professionals in this class number 6. We'll develop three essential content areas on the board today: first, the will to power; the explosive power of the popular will; and community planning. The goals of this class are to first explain the will to power as a fundamental concept, then describe the process of explosive power of the popular will, and finally characterize the processes of community planning. In this first moment of class, we'll begin by talking about Nietzsche and the will to power. We'll try an interesting exercise of understanding and comprehending one of the most difficult, hard-hitting, and controversial philosophers in contemporary academia. We'll be speaking about Nietzsche's Gallácia philosophy, for example. A phenomenal work, one that I highly recommend everyone read. Nietzsche introduced a complex and difficult philosophy that many find fascinating and
• 00:05:00 In this video, university professors discuss why Nietzsche's philosophy is important to understanding the dynamics of power. They talk about how power can be gained and kept, and how it must be expansively used to achieve exponential growth. They also discuss the importance of Mitch Altemeyer's work in this regard. Finally, they discuss why World War II happened, and how it was the result of Germany being late to the power-sharing game.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses the process of Hugo Chavez's ascent to power, and the significant battles he waged to gain control over Venezuela's political and economic structures. It highlights the importance of the battle for leadership, and how Chavez's electoral victory in 1998 marked the beginning of his power-building campaign. The video goes on to discuss the legislative battle Chavez waged to secure control of Venezuela's government in 1999, and the economic struggle that followed. The video finishes by discussing Chavez's attempt to establish a legal framework for Venezuela's development.
• 00:15:00 The video discusses the Venezuelan government's efforts to develop a productive economy, starting from the time of the country's political and economic crisis in the early 2000s. It recalls the moment when Hugo Chavez was overthrown in a coup in 2002, and discusses the two main proposals put forward by Nietzsche, the will to power and the need to maintain power. The video then shows how Venezuela's economic growth and political expansion has generated structural conditions for the people to begin organizing themselves in a more democratic way, beginning with local governments in 2007. The video ends with a discussion of new legislation created in response to this need, including local councils and committees dedicated to supplying food and production in response to Venezuela's growing needs.
• 00:20:00 This video discusses how, starting in 2006, Venezuela's power began to shift from centralized to decentralized. The talk covers the five main motors of Venezuela's power shift: the Constituent Assembly, the Venezuelan Constitution, the Ley Habilitante, the Moral and Light Campaign, and the New Geometry of Power. The talk ends with a discussion of how the process of social and structural order-building is beginning in Venezuela. This is due to the shift in power from centralized to decentralized.
• 00:25:00 The video discusses the concept of "universidad en casa," or the ability to educationally improve one's life outside of the traditional educational institution. The class of the day discusses the process of power expansion, and how it begins with the logical middle ground. From there, a different kind of relationship is formed between the people and the government, and this leads to the development of a participatory planning process. This process is different from traditional planning in that it takes into account the needs of the community from the start. It also involves the proactive participation of the people in the design of the plan. The video provides examples of how this process is executed, and how it leads to the realization of the desired future.
• 00:30:00 The video describes the five stages of the comunal cycle, which can be seen as a way of expressing the power of the people through the simultaneous realization of five phases. The first phase, diagnosis, involves analyzing the community's needs and developing a plan to address them. The second phase, planning, brings together community members to create a plan. The third phase, implementation, is when the plan is put into action. The fourth phase, monitoring and evaluation, determines how well the plan is working. The final phase, contraloría social, is when the community evaluates the plan and makes any necessary changes. This teleclass on "Universidad en Casa - PIU. Núcleo Venezuela Potencia Productiva. Clase 6" was taught by the Venezuela Potencia Productiva (VPP) center, which aims to help the Venezuelan community develop its potential and capacities.
