Version of the doctrinaire Marxism that almost always ends up feeling proprietary of the truth and defending conservative interests in the name of Marxism. The hypothesis of a very potent but unofficial Latin American Marxism achieved since the 1920s another link with Marxism in qualitatively superior conditions and overcoming the debate of the “anti-humanists” or “humanists” that was revived in the 60s, 70s, but we also state that they really come from the Russian revolution and its consequences as shown in this article.
