Del etapismo a la inmediatez. Debates en torno a la idea de revolución en América Latina a partir de 1959

Abstract

The article reflects on the transformation of the idea of revolution in the sixties for a part of the Latin American left, which abandoned and criticized the Communist proposal of the revolution in stages and defended the immediacy of change following the example of the Cuban Revolution. The strong polarization between these two conceptions about the meaning and the ways of the revolution will, from then on, give rise to a deep division in the Latin American left that will be key in its organizational evolution and action since 1960.
