Идея вооружённой борьбы в левом движении стран Латинской Америки в период 1920-1940х гг.

Abstract

The first half of the XX century was marked for Latin America by a pe-riod of struggle for the political independence of the states of the conti-nent. In the context of direct interference in the state policy of Latin American countries by the United Kingdom and, to an even greater ex-tent, the United States, and the flagship in the struggle for national in-dependence often turned out to be the left movement. At the same time, when determining their strategies and tactics, the Latin American left (both themselves and in discussions with the Third, Communist Inter-national, which "discovered" the continent in 1927) often developed the concept and ideas of an armed seizure of power in order to carry out in-ternal political and economic reforms and ensure the desired national independence. As a result of comparing the ideas and implementation of plans for armed struggle in the left movement of Venezuela, Colom-bia and Cuba, the author comes to the following results: despite the presence of a "coordinating body" in the form of the Comintern, colos-sal differences in the political situation, economic situation and experi-ence of spreading leftist ideas led to the idea of an armed struggle for power in each of the these countries developed separately from the rest. For two decades, events have taken place in the region that allow today to conduct a comparative analysis of the theory and implementation of the idea of an armed struggle for power in different Latin American countries, giving a general assessment of this phenomenon, revealing its general and particular characteristics.
