Summary:
This book offers a long-term historical synthesis of anti-communism in Argentina throughout the twentieth century, showing that it played a far more central and continuous role in political and social life than commonly assumed. Through four chronological chapters, the authors trace the emergence of the "red scare" in the early 1900s, the institutionalization of anti-communist policing from the 1930s onward, the intensification of Cold War fears and anti-peronist politics between 1958 and 1973, and the escalation toward annihilationist doctrines during the 1970s, culminating in the state terrorism of 1976-1983. Drawing on films, comics, legal texts, intelligence reports, Church documents, police bulletins, and parliamentary debates, the book demonstrates how anti-communist ideas shaped public policies, justified repression, and constructed a series of imagined enemies that profoundly marked Argentina's political conflicts. It argues that anti-communism persisted as a powerful ideological framework well into the twenty-first century, influencing actors and discourses long after the decline of communism as an actual political force.
