This article analyzes the political work of the Swiss militant Edgar Woog, alias Aldred Stirner, as a principal emissary of the Comintern in the Mexican communist movement during the 1920s. Through the support of unpublished documentary sources from the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, as well as others that are little-known and little-studied, it addresses Stirner’s role in the constitution of communist youth organizations over the course of 1920, as well as in the restructuring of the Communist Party of Mexico and its recognition by the Comintern in 1921. In a more general sense, this article allows us to question several clichés in the historiography of communism regarding the allegedly mechanical and vertical relationship between the Comintern and the communist parties of Latin America.

Palavras-chave : Communism; Comintern; Latin America; Mexican Communist Party; Alfred Stirner.
