" " We want to live well. That is everything. The industrial capitalist organization doesn't allow us to live well, because it force us to support a regime of slavery, of exploitation and of oppression. Upon staying the regime of the wage, it maintains us enslaved to that regime. We know that the poor are the most of the world, most of each town and we know that we have a right to provide to order, to organize the world in each town, how it is our desire in order to live better the life. Then, that is what we want: organizing the industrial life they want or they don't want the capitalists and rulers, in order to give us the well-being that we want and that we needed." LUIS EMILIO RECABARREN [ Great communist revolutionary and organizer of the labour movement. Luis Emilio Recabarren was born July 6 of 1876 in Valparaiso. He from the 14 years old suffered the persecution of the bourgeoisie, being imprisoned several times for the defense irreducible that made of the labour class and of the socialists ideas. It was a professional revolutionary dedicated entirely to the worker cause. Their great victory was the constitution of the Federación Obrera de Chile (Worker Federation of Chile) (FOCH), being the first national unions central. He also was the foundation of Partido Obrero Socialista POS (Worker Socialist Party) in 1912 Iquique, upon separating of the democratic party the one that, abandoning the socialists principles, it had become a party opportunist. Their political activity carries out it in Uruguay and Argentina. He also stayed bound to the international social democracy, knowing to V. I. Lenin in Switzerland in a congress of this. To the victory of the Revolution of October, Recabarren hugged the defense from Soviet Russia, first worker state, against the aggression of the imperialistic powers to this revolution that knows personally when he travel in 1922 to the Soviet Union. The POS adhere to the Third International, transforming in their IV Congress carried out in January of 1922 in Rancagua, in the Communist Party of Chile. Recabarren dies in Santiago1924.] WHAT IS THE O.C.R.? The OCR is a political organization formed by communist revolutionaries that they defend the viability of the Socialism like it they formulated Marx and Engels and it was developed by Lenin, and applied during the construction of the socialism in the USSR in the period of Stalin, being a great experience, valuable for the future socialist society to implant in Chile. The OCR took their name in order to honour the great labour leader and communist leader, LUIS EMILIO RECABARREN, of which it seek to rescue the revolutionary proletarian consequence, abandoned for the communist party of Chile, the one that stuck the revisionist line that was imposed from 1956 in the XX Congress of the PCUS and that led to the posterior destruction of the USSR and of the Popular Democracies. THEIR ORIGINS Their distant origins go back to the years 60s, when upon exploding the anti-revisionist polemic in the communist international movement, the separation of the consequents communists that they defended the revolutionary principles of the Marxism-Leninism took place, of those bourgeoisement parties that was added to the revisionists agreements adopted in the XX and XXII Congresses of the PCUS. Party that upon promoting the supposed "peaceful Road to the socialism," renounce to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and be left aside in the URRS, permitted that the internal reaction grows with the help of the international imperialism and it impel the political- economic and moral decomposition of this and the posterior destruction of the first state worker and peasant. In Chile, the militants that were for the Marxism-Leninism abandoned the old parties "communist" and "socialist" and they formed the combative Espartaco Group, that after a Congreso Programático and constituent it passed to be called Revolutionary Communist Party - PCR-, which carried out a self-denying revolutionary activity of discussion and defense of the Marxism-Leninism. Although this party nationaly vertebrated was the ideological vanguard of the workers, students and conscious peasants, in front of the political opportunists of right and left, it was not unaware of the errors of left that led to it isolate of the masses in the period of the Unidad Popular; what it led to their division and posterior disappearance at the beginning of the 80, for the repression that untied the dictatorship in their against. In 1985, some political squares and members of the PCR were regrouped and they gave life to the Recabarren Communist Organization OCR. WHAT THE O.C.R. FIGHTS AGAINST? The OCR combats to the big capitalist groups and multinationals that exploit the workers and they plunder the national wealth protected by the imperialist powers, mainly the Yankee imperialism, the one that through the Monetary International Fund- FMI- and the World Bank, they impose to our peoples their politicians of spoliation. The OCR struggles to transform the means of production (natural wealth, industries, companies, etc.) in social property, finishing with the private property of these, that alone it permit the exploitation of the labour class and the impoverishment of the Chilean people. The OCR combats the bourgeois state that guarantees the dictatorship of the capital against the workers, using the armed forces and of order like guardian of their interests and the bureaucracy, in order to impede the participation of the people in the administration of the country. It struggle to establish a state of new type in Chile, a state of Popular Democracy in order to build the Socialism in Chile. THE WAY OF THE OCR We propose to create a strong and vast Popular Political - Social Movement in which they are represented all the popular parties and syndicalist and social organizations, in order to fight for: A REAL DEMOCRACY AND NOT FICTITIOUS * The end of the constitution of 1980, new constitution democratically generated * In order to finish with the current electoral binominal system, designed in order to impede that representatives of the people arrive to the parliament. * Finish with the designated senators. * Finish with the Council of National Security that subjects the citizenship to the control of the Armed Forces. * Democratise the FF.AA and polices, eliminating the Fascist ideology of these * End of the immobility of the commandants of the Armen Forces and polices. THE RESPECT TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND PÚBLICS FREEDOMS * We Demanded truth, judgement and punishment to the crimes of the dictatorship. * Restrict the military justice only to the crimes made between military. * Repeal the antiterrorist law and modify the law of Interior Security of the State. * Not to a new CNI. * Term of the "Labour Plan" and reformation of the Code of the Work that limits the capacity of defense and of fight of the workers in the face of the rises and the cessation. * positive Integration for the natives peoples, respecting their rights. FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE CHILEANS * Just Distribution of the national entrance through: Increases of salaries, wages and pensions according to the rise of the products of popular consumption. * Provisional Reformation that finishes with the negotiated of the AFP and the companies of safety. * Reformation of the health that improves the public medicine, finishing with the subsidy of the State to the Isapre. * Devote a bigger budget for the construction of housings for the workers, aiding the autoconstruction and repair of housings. * Bigger budget for education and defense of the state education. DEFENSE OF ECONOMICS AND THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE * Revision of all the agreements with the FMI and the World Bank injured for the country. * Protection of the national production in the face of the foreign competition. Not to the free trade agreement. Giving the State credit help to the small industrial and farmers interested in the increase of the production. * Demand that the forecasting funds administered by the AFP would be invested in their entirety in the country. * Fixation for the Chilean State of the price of sale of the copper in the exterior. This movement should develop from the very breast of the people in order to undertake the conquest of a Popular Democratic Government, National and Anti-Imperialist, in which the people has an effective and real participation through their organizations syndicalist and socials. This government, although it won't finish with the capitalism, it will tend to finish with the power of the big national and transnational monopolies, creating an area of social property supporting to the medium and small company in order to re-establish the economics bases of the country that allow us to break with the dependence of the imperialism, and achieve an own development, according to the interests of the Chilean nation, for which we needed to promote the economic unit with all the Latin American countries, like a productive unit and I don't only commercial. This historical stage of Popular Governments will prepare the step to the Democratic Popular Revolution, that it will break definitively with the power of the capitalists, establishing a new state, the Democratic Popular State, that will be the expression of the Democratic Dictatorship of the worker class in alliance with the peasants and the small urban bourgeoisie.

  • Luis Vítale INTERPRETACION MARXISTA DE LA HISTORIA DE CHILE
    Luis Vítale INTERPRETACION MARXISTA DE LA HISTORIA DE CHILE DE LA REPUBLICA PARLAMENTARIA A LA REPUBLICA SOCIALISTA De la dependencia inglesa a la norteamericana (1891-1932) TOMO V EDICIONES acuerden, para que se haga la disminución de jornales de operarios f...| El trabajador tiene que optar entre este dilema: vende su fuerza por muy poco más que un mal alimento, o abandona la fábrica [...] De este modo el trabajador es obligado tributario del capitalista".47 Alejandro Bustamante, autor del Catecismo Socialista. 1900, des- taca la importancia de la igualdad de género en una propuesta de transforma- ción social. Ser socialista significa "ser partidario de la igualdad del hombre y de la mujer ante sus semejantes, para disfrutar con idéntico derecho délas leyes naturales, en razón directa de su trabajo o capacidad, pues el Socialis- mo Científico no acepta el injusto monopolio del Capital, que es muerte, sobre la labor industrial que es la vida y la savia de una nación, porque ante su ley natural, el trabajo intelectual o material es el único capital productor".48 Bustamante también propone un socialismo con una mayor interven- ción del Estado en la protección y fomento de la industria local. Luis Emilio Recabarren En contraste con la opinión de que Recabarren sólo fue un agitador y organizador sindical y político, hemos demostrado en otros trabajos49 que fue también un pensador. En cuanto a su biografía, ya descrita por otros investiga- dores, hemos optado por el método de analizar su trayectoria de lucha en relación directa con su activa participación en el proceso social que describi- mos en el capítulo sobre el movimiento obrero.

    ENSAYO EL FIN DEL SOCIALISMO SOVIÉTICO, LA REVOLUCIÓN CUBANA Y LA IZQUIERDA LATINOAMERICANA: LA HISTORIA DE UNA DOBLE DERROTA* Rafael Pedemonte Universidad de Gante RESUMEN: La caída de la Unión Soviética generó un proceso inevita- ble de reevaluación ideológica en el seno de los partidos comunistas de América Latina, proceso que fue particularmente dramático en el caso cubano. Luego de que, a comienzos de la década de 1970, la ad- ministración castrista reforzara sus lazos con el Kremlin y recibiera a cambio una asistencia esencial para la supervivencia de su proyecto socialista, las reformas de la era Gorbachov llevaron a la dirigencia cubana a iniciar un profundo proceso de “rectificación”, que sig- nificó reapropiarse aceleradamente de las referencias locales de la revolución (Martí, Che Guevara), en desmedro de los “clásicos” del marxismo ortodoxo. Una reescritura similar llevaron adelante otras organizaciones tradicionalmente fieles a Moscú, como el Partido Co- munista de Chile. PALABRAS CLAVE: Unión Soviética, comunismo, Revolución Cubana, Mijaíl Gorbachov, Nueva Izquierda Latinoamericana. RAFAEL PEDEMONTE.

Experimental Images of “the popular” in mid-century Chile __________________________________________________ GONZALO MONTERO VIRGINIA TECH Abstract In this article, I analyze the work of two mid-century Chilean artists–the documentarian Sergio Bravo (1927-), and the photographer Antonio Quintana (1904-1972)–, and the form by which they use different technological media in order to capture and construct popular subjectivities. Instead of conceiving “the popular” as an archaic and traditionalistic label, both artists open new possibilities to incorporate popular subjectivities into discourses of political and artistic modernization using formal experimentation and radical aesthetics. The works of Bravo and Quintana are not only capturing a form of popular practice (they are not restricted to be ethnographic documentations), but also creating or imagining a notion of a popular subjectivity defined by hard work, effort, creativity, and eventually, the capacity to carry out a radical transformation of society. This process of “imagining” popular subjectivity coincides with the political project of claiming the worth and complexity of popular classes, which historically had been neglected by dominant discourses of Chilean culture.

Interview conducted by APEP 1. - Could you give us details on the experience of the Chilean people since the fascist military coup? The fascist military coup in Chile not only means the most monstrous repression for the Chilean people in their history, but also takes place in contemporary history as one of the repressions the most brutal and bloody that any country has ever suffered. More than 30,000 people have been murdered. More than 150,000 others passed through prisons and concentration camps and several thousand are still there. The most brutal and refined torture has been and continues to be used as a "normal" interrogation procedure or as simple revenge. 1 | P a g e Various international courts have denounced, among other things, as the tortures used: the application of electrodes to the genitals, anus and gums; gang rape or rape using animals; immersion in excrement or petroleum baths; acid or fire burns; mutilations, fractures, cuts, "tourniquets"; stays in metal drums until causing tearing of the eardrums or madness, etc ..
