HERRERA VALLE, Victoria Citlalmina. José Revueltas and the Origin of Spartacism in Mexico (1960-1963). Secuencia [online]. 2023, n.116, e2039.  Epub 09-Jun-2023. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i116.2039.

Although the study of communism and Marxism in Mexico has recently been reappraised, local forms of communism, alternate trends, and even intellectuals and militants have yet to be analyzed in the academic sphere. Accordingly, this article focuses on a stage in the life and work of José Revueltas concerning a brand of national communism he himself founded: Spartacism. It attempts to analyze the writer’s “Spartacist stage”, his theoretical and political activity in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It argues that Revueltas’s interpretation of certain politically significant events during the period and his own experience as a communist shaped his opposition to Stalinist communism, leading him to found Spartacism.

Palavras-chave : José Revueltas; communism; critical marxism; nationalization of marxism; spartacism.
