El “núcleo duro” de los fascismos periféricos en América Latina

Abstract

The present paper analyses the ideological structure and political praxis of the fascist experiences developed in Latin America in the first half of the twentieth century, from the interwar period to the early years of the Cold War. Resuming the components that made up the "hard core" who runs his ideals and actions, it shows that Latin American fascisms were not mere copies of the European ones. In contrast, they were the result of a local problem which wanted to transform reality within the logic of fascism as a world ideology. Hence the term peripheral management, used not to devalue regional experiences but to emphasize that, beyond the similarities with other cases, possessed own idiosyncrasies of the Latin American context. Moreover, the origin of this phenomenon, was the result of the critical break with the aristocratic conservatism of the nineteenth-century liberal oligarchies, and the inheritance from the counterrevolutionary actors of the Cold War thoughts, in order to observe presents breaks and continuities that peripheral fascisms represented in the historical development of the Latin American rights of the twentieth century.
