Resumo: |
The present thesis investigates the structure and ideology of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), but before analyzing its creation in 1966 in South Korea and its subsequent evolution, it turns attention to the remote origins of this Cold War “Anti-Communist International”. At first, the work rebuilds the historical genesis and ideological profile of the precedent organizations that later structured WACL: the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), a squad of former Eastern European Nazi collaborators (re)created in 1946 by the British secret service (MI6); the Asian Peoples Anti-Communist League (APACL), born in 1954 as a “ripe fruit” of capitalist counterrevolution in Southeast Asia; the Inter-American Confederation of Defense of the Continent (IACDC), the first alliance of Latin American far-right created in 1954 within Operation PBSUCCESS’s framework, guided by US and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), an effort to regionally legitimize the coup d'état “made in USA” against Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz; and the International Committee for Information and Social Action (CIAS), a think tank created in 1956 by former German Nazis. It analyzes how an attempt to create WACL took place in Mexico from the interaction between these four organizations, in 1958, demonstrating how this initiative of organizing anti-communist internationalism of Cold War consolidated in South Korea since 1966. Reconstructing the Asian cycle of WACL conferences (1967 to 1971), it observes the League’s “spin to the Americas”, pressured by Richard Nixon’s visit to Beijing and by the détente between USA and the People’s Republic of China, which would be catastrophic for the Taiwan of Chiang Kai-shek, WACL's origin center. Back to the “spin” to the American continent, it looks at the creation in 1972, in Mexico, of Confederacion Anticomunista Latinoamericana (CAL), WACL’s regional branch in Latin America. Analyzing the public and secret CAL congresses in Mexico (1972), Paraguay (1973) and Brazil (1974), as well as WACL conferences in the USA (1974) and Brazil (1975), the thesis highlights the repressive connections between the WACL/CAL complex in South America and Operation Condor (1975), a pact between the regional Armed Forces to monitor and repress “subversives” and “internal enemies” of the national security dictatorships. There, it focuses on the Society of Political, Economic and Social Studies (SEPES), the Brazilian “Chapter” of WACL/CAL that served as a “private” link to the “Condors” and operated as a “ghost entity” controlled by National Information Service (SNI) of Brazilian dictatorship. Methodologically, these transnational anti-communist networks were reconstituted in their concreteness and ways of being from the analysis of their historical-ideological genesis, immanent structure and the role played in political and social classes struggles. Besides specialized historiography, this thesis is supported by a myriad of historical sources, as the documentary collections of the CIA, the SNI and the Stronista political police - the Archivos del Terror of Paraguay - and magazines of ABN, APACL and WACL, as well as the memories of the CIDC congresses |
