El Partido Socialista de la Argentina y sus espinosas relaciones con el movimiento obrero: un análisis del surgimiento y disolución del Comité de Propaganda Gremial, 1914-1917

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between Argentina Socialist Party (PS) and the labor movement in the early twentieth century. Examines the experience of the Comité de Propaganda Gremial (CPG), a political structure that stepped in and out of that game, creating unions and promoting the need for union action. The CPG existed between 1914 and 1917, and was driven by militants of the revolutionary internationalist left of the PS, which was later expelled from the force and was the Communist Party. The CPG was an attempt to overcome the official PS strategy, according to which the labor movement should be completely independent of the party, and having their own tactics and specific purposes.
