description In this article we examine the relationship between a political actor (the Communist Party) and a social actor (the Agrarian Leagues), in the convulsed 70’s in Argentina. While the first was one of the longest-running leftist parties in the country, the second corresponds to a complex social movement, which emerged at a juncture of economic crisis and important technological and productive transformations in agriculture. Studies on the political organizations of the period tended to focus on their links with urban social actors, thereby overshadowing the relationships that were woven with rural sectors, which did not escape the tone of protest of the time. In order to settle this deficit, we take this party that gave rural issues the most attention to understand how it was linked to the league movement and how it characterized it theoretically. Based on the study of its internal documents (congressional records) and public documents (theoretical magazines and newspapers), we reconstruct its defense of an Argentine peasantry, taking into account the contradictions in them.This approach would illuminate a current historiographic problem from another angle: the social nature of the Agricultural Leagues.

En este artículo examinamos la relación entre un actor político (el Partido Comunista) y un actor social (las Ligas Agrarias), durante la convulsionada década de 1970 en Argentina. Mientras que el primero fue uno de los partidos de izquierda más longevos del país, el segundo corresponde a un movimiento social complejo, que surgió en una coyuntura de crisis económica y de importantes transformaciones tecnológicas y productivas en el agro. Otros estudios sobre organizaciones políticas de la etapa se centraron en sus vinculaciones con actores sociales urbanos, lo que opacó las relaciones que se tejieron con sectores rurales, que no escaparon a la tónica de protesta de la época. En la línea de saldar ese déficit, estudiamos este partido que fue el que mayor atención le brindó al campo, para comprender cómo se vinculó al movimiento liguista y cómo lo caracterizó desde lo teórico. A partir del estudio de sus documentos internos (actas congresales) y públicos (revistas teóricas y periódicos), reconstruimos su defensa de un campesinado argentino, atendiendo a las contradicciones presentes en dicho proceso. Este acercamiento iluminaría, desde otro ángulo, un problema historiográfico vigente: la naturaleza social de las Ligas Agrarias.
