Summary: | The “Izquierda Nacional”, led by Jorge Abelardo Ramos, was a political-cultural group, the visibility and public intervention of which, grew in the mid-20th century. From the beginning, this group intended to rethink the basis of socialism, through a profound debate, an editorial policy and the spreading of several publications. The triumph of the Cuban Revolution meant a new moment for this family´s alignment in left culture. The support they first gave to the Cuban process, seen as an anti-imperialist event, later became an estrangement in relation to the roads to socialism in Latin America. Ramos and his group developed a thorough critique of “foquismo” and, specially, of Ernesto “Che” Guevara´s thesis, that we analyze in this article, taking into consideration the crisis and transformation of argentinian left towards the early 60's.
