El Movimiento Nacional Socialista: antisemitismo y movilización política en Chile en la década del treinta

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Describes the ideology of the Movimiento Nacional Socialista (MNS) of Chile, which was rather similar to the fascist movements in Europe. Led by Jorge González von Marées and ideologue Carlos Keller, it emphasized nationalism and Catholicism, advocated a strong state, and opposed both capitalism and Marxism. The MNS expressed antisemitic stereotypes, such as the "Jewish world conspiracy", the Jewish-Bolshevist connection, Jewish materialistic and anti-ethical values, etc. The antisemitism was social, not racial, and was used as a political tool, based on xenophobia amongst the masses. After an aborted coup in September 1938, the MNS supported the leftist Popular Front in the general elections.
