There are definitely metrics that change the calculus, and look to the communes as the canary in that struggle. On the financial side of things it is challenging to say because of the dire economic situation, if they feel the best move they have is something that still sucks, as long as they are committed to their revolution it is what it is imo. If they start repressing the communes or rejecting chavismo, it’s a bad sign, but the communes could rise up and retake the government at that point still so it isn’t the end yet. For now all levels seem very confident and unified so I’m hopeful
I think you are overestimating commune power a tad, but also structural adjustment takes time to propagate, i suspect next 2-5 (pending the usa admin hurry) years will be relatively peaceful with privatizations here and there, so that people start to enjoy the superior porky wages/evangelical preachers, and then final push to dismantlement will come, so guess we just have to wait and see
