Tricontinental Institute for Social Research

At Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, we focus on gaining insights from the social and cultural changes driven by grassroots movements. Our approach to knowledge is inspired by Karl Marx’s ‘11th Thesis on Feuerbach’, which states that while philosophers have merely interpreted the world, the real goal is to change it. We believe that those who aim to transform society possess a keen understanding of its contradictions, weaknesses, and potential. The various movements and struggles for social change provide valuable lessons about the nature of power, privilege, and property, as well as the potential for creating a different world.

First, the Chavistas (supporters of Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian project that is now led by President Nicolás Maduro) have the enormous advantage of an organised mass base.
