Perspectivas da luta guerrilheira armada paraguaia: uma revolução socialista possível no século XXI?

Abstract

This paper intends to present and analyze the prospects and challenges to the guerrilla movement Paraguayan People Army (EPP) in its attempt to implement a socialist revolution in Paraguay. To that end, will be exposed and debated the Paraguayan State’s disabilities in promoting social change to cast the foundations to overcome the historical social imbalances, its maintenance with the advent of democracy in the 1990s, hampering the legitimacy and representativeness of the regime, and making that would foster the outbreak of the revolutionary movement, and later the guerrilla army of the XXI century. Through the Leninist contribution - foundation used by the EPP – we seek to understand the EPP action and thus analyze their chances of success as a revolutionary organization. Similarly, it is contemplated the challenges posed to the guerrilla action, in the domestic order of the organization, as well as the external order. Therefore, it is considered that the use of revolutionary violence will not achieve their goals, having the revolutionary class consciousness and mass democracy the central role in a socialist deployment process.
