MATRYOSHKAS OF TERROR. SOME ELEMENTS TO ANALYZE THE ARGENTINE DICTATORSHIP WITHIN THE DICTATORSHIPS OF THE SOUTHERN CONE

Ametaphor as a starting point

The MATRYOSHKA is a popular Russian doll that contains other smaller ones of the same design and color inside.

THE LATIN AMERICAN DICTATORSHIPS OF THE 1960S AND 1970S ARE LIKE MATRYOSHKAS: SIMILAR IN APPEARANCE BUT DIFFERENT IN SIZE

These dictatorships can be seen as independent units, but can only be explained as a whole.

ANSALDI'S HYPOTHESIS IS THAT DICTATORSHIPS IN LATIN AMERICA SEEK TO CORRECT WHAT THEY CONSIDERED TO BE VICES OF DEMOCRACY

These vices had different origins and scopes (populism in Argentina and Brazil, reformist socialism in Chile, revolutionary guerrillas in Uruguay and Argentina) but were taken as a whole by the military, who implemented a coordinated supranational repression.

Four cases will be analyzed here: Brazil 1964-1985, Argentina 1976-1983, Uruguay 1973-1985 and Chile 1973-1990.

The Doctrine of National Security, ideological foundation of dictatorships

DICTATORSHIPS ARE THE DENIAL OF POLITICS AND DISSENT

The way dictatorships have tried to legitimize themselves is paradoxical: they argue that they seek to restore authentic democracy, lost by bad politicians. Having no legitimacy of origin, they seek a legitimacy of exercise.

The DOCTRINE OF NATIONAL SECURITY (DSN) has its first antecedents in the 19th century in Brazil and the beginning of the 20th century in Argentina and Chile, with ideological elements that COMBINE ANTI-MARXISM WITH THE CATHOLIC ULTRA RIGHT (Spanish Opus Dei, Action Francaise ).

When the COLD WAR broke out between the US and the USSR after World War II, the DSN was used in Latin America as an argument for internal security against the indirect action threat of communism.

If in the US the national security theorists spoke of total war and nuclear, and the French of limited war, in their fight against the guerrillas in Indochina and Algeria, the Latin American military was concerned about the working class, identified with the internal subversion.

THERE WAS NO LONGER TALK ABOUT CONVENTIONAL WARS (BETWEEN COUNTRIES) BUT OF IDEOLOGICAL WARS BETWEEN THE FREE, WESTERN AND CHRISTIAN WORLD AND ATHEISTIC COMMUNIST TOTALITARIANISM (WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THE SAME COUNTRY)

THE CONCEPT OF THAT WAR WAS NOT ONLY MILITARY (AN ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO ARMED ARMIES ON A BATTLE FRONT): IT COVERED POLITICS, ECONOMY AND CULTURE, BECAUSE SUBVERSION WAS PRESENT EVERYWHERE
