STEFANONI, Pablo. To rejuvenate (and save) the nation: Bolivian military socialism revisited. Tinkazos [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.37, pp.49-64. ISSN 1990-7451.

This article analyses the specificities of Bolivian anti-liberalism in the 1930s, focusing on the experience of "military socialism". It seeks to reconstruct the ideological atmosphere, analyse its inner tensions and capture the particular features of this state experiment which was closely linked to the military defeat in the war against Paraguay, a historical landmark that triggered a discourse of change pregnant with organicistic visions of the nation and a strong rejection of liberal democracy.

Palavras-chave : military sodalism; leftist movements; Chaco War; functional democracy; vitalism; David Toro; Germán Busch; Bolivia.
