Abstract
STAVALE, Santiago. “Building the party in the factories”: the political-union line of the PRT-ERP in the period of democratic opening and the experience of its militants in three factories of Gran Buenos Aires. Folia [online]. 2021, n.42, pp.135-160. ISSN 0325-8238. http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0425735.
The PRT-ERP was an organization that from its beginnings defined the working class as the “subject of the revolution” and concentrated a large part of its efforts on penetrating and developing in the labor movement. Its union action was framed in a general strategy of “war revolutionary”. In this article, we analyze the orientations with which it sought to intervene in the factories during the period 1973-1976. It was in this framework that the PRT-ERP decided to rectify the militaristic orientation that it had been maintaining until then, dedicating greater resources and militant efforts to work in the labor movement. Finally, we also analyze the way in which its militants sought to translate these orientations into practice in three factories of Gran Buenos Aires with the aim of showing different ways in which the organization intervened politically, militarily, and through trade unions in the establishments.
