Americo Ghioldi's image as a man who supported the execution of civilians during the "Libertadora" has fixed meanings about this political force, which were built up by revisionist historiography and shared -paradoxically- with the historiography which sprang from the heat of the democratic transition. We do not intend to disprove such an image, as to a great extent it is its verisimilitude that led to its deep rootedness. Rather, we seek to historicize the relationships between Socialism and anti-Peronism by differentiating moments in and features of the Socialist Democratic Party. First, we observed how the concepts of totalitarianism became increasingly disconnected from the fight against Peronism, having disapproved of its proscription, and grew ever more associated with Communists and other anti-Peronists. We show two parallel discourses within the framework of the Cold War: resistance to American intervention in Latin American countries and a partial support to the Western bloc. In addition, we note that the fight against totalitarism did not weaken support for socio-economic reform, which would benefit subaltern groups in general and the working class in particular. Ties with unions, administrative rationalization plans and the Peronist issue hindered pro-interventionist proposals by various means.

Keywords : Socialist Democratic Party; Antiperonism; Totalitarism; Proscription.
