In Peru the Urban Elite Trembles as Challenged by the Mobilized Masses
José Carlos Mariátegui
This article notes the origins of the José Carlos Mariátegui inspired socialism and its similarity to and influence on Che Guevara and explores the non-dogmatic socialism of both and their international focus. In doing so it examines the nature of Mariátegui’s open Marxism, seeing it as creative, flexible, socialism that, like Che’s socialism, is well situated in the global struggle and applicable to the changing Latin American reality and beyond…

Social Movements and Leftist Governments in Latin America
In recent years, the simultaneous development of prominent social movements and the election of left and centre-left governments has radically altered the political landscape in Latin America. These social movements have ranged from the community based 'piqueteros' of Argentina that brought down three governments in the space of a month in 2001 to the indigenous movements in Ecuador and Bolivia that were instrumental in toppling five governments …
Novos Movimentos Sociais, Globalização E Democratização
O Neoliberalismo e outros aspectos da globalização que afetam negativamente as massas na América Latina fizeram as classes populares reavaliarem sua participação nos partidos políticos e na política que não lhes empoderou. Na sublevação de Caracas em 1989, novos movimentos começaram a se formar e crescer como, por exemplo, o Movimento V República da Venezuela, os Zapatistas no México, os movimentos indígenas no Equador (CONAIE) e na Bolívia (Coca…
A Second Look at Latin American Social Movements
Globalizing Resistance
Social Movements, Hegemony, and New Forms of Resistance
In Latin America, new social movements are vigorously and creatively engaging in grassroots organization and local and national mobilizations. Social movements in Bolivia, Brazil, and elsewhere have challenged the conduct of politics in their countries and the region. Their growth and militancy have generated whole new repertoires of action. Indeed, they raise the possibility of at least some form of "rule from below." They have left the traditio…
Brazil’s Landless Hold Their Ground
This article analyses the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement in a comparative approach with the similar movements in Latin America as a continent still ruled by a neoliberal policies. For this purpose, the text focus the secular process of land’s concentration and the peasantry’s marginal conditions perpetrated by the dominant elites in order to relate it to the recent process characterized by the disenchantment towards the traditional represent…
Globalization in a Time of Neoliberalism
This article examines the emergence of new, highly politicized social movements in Latin America as a response to deteriorating economic and social conditions and the related growth of neoliberal economic policies advocated by International Financial Institutions like the IMF and the World Bank and by national political elites. It argues that the decline of bureaucratic authoritarianism and the growing democratization in the region have helped to…
Cuba's Foreign Relations in a Post-Soviet World
In his analysis of the broad scope of revolutionary Cuba's foreign relations, H. Michael Erisman emphasizes two key aspects: Cuba's adjustment since the disintegration of the Soviet Bloc and the ongoing confrontation between Cuba and the United States. Using revolutionary Cuba's foreign relations as a case study in counterdependency politics, he proposes that the country has always been highly sensitive to the danger of overdependence on an exter…

Mariátegui
Currently, Western Europe is experiencing a novel type of Marxism. The Communist movement is no longer viewed by most observers as a cohesive monolith waiting for directions from the East, and communism in Italy, France, and Spain has shown an increasing level of autonomy and national resourcefulness. Indeed, the "Eurocommunism" of Santiago Carrillo (head of the Spanish Communist party) is frequently attacked by his Soviet comrades in Party Congr…
The Peasants as a Revolutionary Class
We do not regard Marx's theory as something completed and inviolable; on the contrary, we are convinced that it has only laid the foundation stone of the science which socialists must develop in all directions if they wish to keep pace with life.V. I. Lenin (Our Program)The peasant is one of the least understood and most abused actors on the modern political stage. He is maligned for his political passivity and distrust of national political move…

Democracy and socialism in Sandinista Nicaragua
Defining Terrorism in El Salvador
The term “terrorism” has been defined in a number of ways by a variety of scholars. For the most part, each definition has yielded a limited understanding of the actual phenomenon. This is especially true when analyzing the current wave of international situations in contemporary global affairs, such as those occurring in Central America. This article explores the various actors and motives operating in El Salvador in an attempt to clarify the me…

Marxism and the Peasantry in Latin America
The capitalist stage of history has concentrated an increasing proportion of its productive mechanisms in urban areas. As Marx predicted, Western capitalist development has broken down rural society and turned peasants and small farmers into an ever-increasing rural and urban proletariat. As this process developed, Western modes of production have increasingly reflected this growing urban emphasis. Intellectual production is no exception

The Ideology of the Nicaraguan Revolution
The ideas that inspired the revolution in Nicaragua had their roots in the national past, in the history of a nation that strove to free itself from foreign domination and internal despotism. Sandinismo became the repository of national consciousness. It represented the culmination of a long process that finally allowed the Nicaraguan people to gain an understanding of their own history. It became the ideological vehicle through which the nationa…

Nicaraguan Relations with the Non-Aligned Movement
Pronouncements by the Reagan Administration not withstanding, the oft repeated accusation that Nicaragua is but a Soviet or Cuban pawn does not appear consistent with a closer examination of the facts (see NACLA, 1985). Beginning with the original 1969 FSLN (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) Program, the Sandinista leadership which now rules Nicaragua has steadfastly maintained its nonaligned orientation. In fact, since coming to power, t…
