The Revolution is on the table: The Communist Party of Brazil and hotel workers' organization (1922-1930)

Abstract

The centenary of the Communist Party of Brazil (PCB) in 2022 is a great opportunity to rescue the history that it played as a political-ideological organizer of the subaltern classes in Brazil during practically the entire 20th century. Among the working-class categories that were pioneers in the construction of the Brazilian communist labor movement are hotel workers. Characterized by great instability in living and working conditions, this category of the proletariat found in the PCB during the 1920s the appropriate organizational form to seek to overcome its condition of precarity subalternity through a reform in the methods of union action, strategy and of political tactics and for a moral reform of the appropriate category for the training of revolutionary workers.
