Abstract

POY, Lucas. “Neutralists” and “Politicals”: The debates inside the Argentine Socialist Party about the relationship between party and union, 1901-1904. Av. Cesor [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.15, pp.19-38. ISSN 1514-3899.

The article explores the internal tensions that emerged in the early twentieth century, inside the Argentine Socialist Party, regarding the relationship between the economic and the political struggle-and, in particular, the politics inside the unions. In so doing, it examines a debate that took place within 1902-1904 between the supporters of union “neutrality” and those who advocated an open political intervention inside them. The debate was related to the process of creation of the Unión General de Trabajadores (General Workers Union). We aim to contribute to our knowledge about the tensions and disputes that shaped the Socialist Party at the turn of the century, and also to understand the peculiarities of the internal tension that would lead to the breakdown of the revolutionary syndicalists.

Keywords : Socialist Party; Unions; Syndicalism; Socialdemocracy.
