Resumen
Descripción
Bajo el contexto de la disolución de los socialismos reales y la vuelta a la democracia en Chile, el PC buscó integrar nuevos referentes que le permitieran enfrentar el ambiente anticomunista de la época. Este trabajo analiza el contexto anticomunista chileno en víspera de la transición democrática y cómo este afectó la posición del PC. Asimismo, da cuenta de las respuestas que generó este partido al rescatar y conectar la historia del POS con la lucha por la democratización y la representación de los sectores populares en la década de 1990. La valoración positiva de la democracia que casi un siglo atrás había realizado el POS, les permitió a los comunistas reconfigurarse y encontrar un referente nacional que le ayudara a sobrevivir a la crisis del comunismo.
In the context of the dissolution of real socialisms and Chile’s return to democracy, the Communist Party (PC in Spanish and hereafter) sought new referents which would allow them to face the anti-communist atmosphere at the time. This article analyzes the Chilean anti-communist context in the eve of democratic transition and how it affected PC’s position. It also gives an account of the responses which such party triggered by rescuing and connecting the Socialist Workers Party’s (POS in Spanish and hereafter) history to the struggle for democratization and representation of popular sectors in the 1990s. The positive value given to democracy by POS almost a century before, allowed communists to reconfigure themselves and find a national referent to help them survive communism’s crisis.
