Hello and welcome to It Could Have Been Here. I'm Andrew Siege. I'm on Andrewism over at YouTube. And I'm not on YouTube right now. I'm on it could happen here. And I'm joined by the disembodied voice of the one and only. Garrison Davis. Yes.

Well, one and only that I know of unless there's another one going around, which would be freaky. There might be, there might be, but see, I want to continue our journey through Latin American anarchisms and their histories. Now compared to all the other countries I've discussed so far, such as Peru and Chile and Argentina and Brazil and Cuba, this one had a bit less information about anarchism in its past. So this will be a sort of a smaller sandwich of anarchist history, perhaps a fitting of

the country that is sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil. I'm speaking of course about Paraguay, known for its fraught history of warfare, politically volatile landscape, series of dictatorships, and indigestively intertwined cultural and social fabric. Anarchism took root in this rather unique setting, and thanks to the work of Angel Capilleti and a few other scattered sources, I've been able to piece together the history of anarchism in Paraguay.

Without further ado, nos comencemos. For much of its early history, Paraguay's identity was distinct within South America. From its time as a Guarani settlement to its formation as a Spanish colony in the 16th century. Spanish Jesuit missionaries wielded significant influence and for over a century, Paraguay was a self-sustained colony with a rigidly hierarchical system based on the Spanish castor system. Paraguay's economy primarily revolved around agriculture and cattle herding, unlike the mining economies in other Spanish territories. The Guarani

people had a significant cultural impact throughout Paraguay's history, and their language and traditions remained central even as Paraguay evolved through the centuries. Even today, most of the population speaks some variety of Guarani alongside Spanish. Fast forward to the early 19th century, as South American nations began declaring independence from Spain, Paraguay took a unique approach. Rather than aligning with the neighboring revolutionary movements, Paraguay, under the leadership of José Gaspar Rodríguez de Valdefrancia, declared independence in 1811 and adopted an isolationist authoritarian path. Francia ruled as the country's supreme dictator for nearly three decades, envisioning a self-sufficient,

hermetic society. He strictly controlled foreign influences, banned European migration, and restricted trade. By the mid-19th century, Paraguay had built up a significant state infrastructure under Francia's successor, Carlos Antonio López. However, this era of economic development was short-lived, as Paraguay entered the catastrophic War of the Triple Alliance between 1864 and 1870 against Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay over territorial disputes. This conflict proved disastrous for Paraguay, as they suffered staggering losses.

Nearly 70% of its population died. Its economy was shattered, and its territory was significantly reduced. And yes, you heard me right, nearly 70% of its population perished, including most of its male population. In the war's aftermath, Paraguay was plunged into political chaos, economic ruin, and a period of foreign interventions. Due to the economic devastation of the war, the country became indebted to British creditors. With that leverage, Britain pushed for the development of a free market economy and privatization,

which brought Paraguay into closer contact with the global economy and eventually led to a more pronounced class divide and establishment of an exploitative agricultural export system. Land that had once been communally managed was swiftly privatized, driving indigenous communities and small farmers off their land and into the workforce of larger estates. On those estates, workers would find themselves in debt bondage, tied to the estates as small debts that workers owed to landowners would spiral into insurmountable debts that would become nearly impossible to repay. Laborers, called peonies, were typically paid in vouchers or scrip that could only be redeemed at the estate store, where prices were exorbitantly inflated. Any attempt to leave or challenge the conditions was met with violent repercussions from estate

managers, creating a cycle of economic entrapment that was essentially slavery by another name. Paraguay became a country of ever more wealthy and powerful landowners with a struggling rural working class. As the 20th century approached, the labour struggles and social divisions within Paraguayan society were glaring. Growing inequality, exploitative working conditions, and the dislocation of ambitious communities created fertile ground for radical ideas among rural campesinos and urban workers. European immigrants fleeing political repression brought with them some rather radical ideas that began to resonate with Paraguayan workers who were desperate for a way out of their

circumstances. For a people who had survived centuries of oppression and authoritarian rule, anarchism had a unique appeal. By the 1880s, workers in Paraguay had begun organizing mutual aid societies, and one such society of typographers would organize themselves into a union, the first in the country's history, by 1886. That same year saw the rise of construction workers, carpenters, tailors, postal workers, and baker's unions. Those bakers would also conduct the country's first ever strike action in October of 1886.

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck.

You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like Like how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well we're talking with finance expert Vivian Too, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like every single year you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15 percent. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10

to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The first distinctly Anipus publication I could find in Paraguay was organized by a group called Los Hijos del Chaco, who published a libertarian manifesto in 1892. They called themselves anarchist communists and declared their intent to abolish private property, the clergy, the state, and the armed forces. Quote, we seek the complete emancipation of the proletariat as we fight to abolish the unjust exploitation of man by man.

We dedicate all of our moral and physical strength to overturn all tyrannies, to establish genuine liberty, equality, and fraternity in the human family. We seek to transform private property into a common good. We seek to do so because individual property is the basic cause of all the evils that afflict us. It is on that basis that the dregs of humanity—government, clerics, lawyers, militaries, entrepreneurs—maintain themselves in power, live as parasites, and the continued enjoyment of their plunder finances large armies with the products of our labour."

Even prior to that manifesto, anarchists were making moves in the graphic, railway, and beacons unions as early as 1889, fighting for and winning the 8-hour workday by 1901. Strike actions in this period were focused on that goal alongside wage increases and other improvements to working conditions. The anarchists also tried to establish a national trade union center, but unfortunately did not succeed. In 1892, thanks in part to the growing Spanish and Argentine immigrant populations, there was a wave of libertarian union formation throughout Paraguay.

The anarchists were also quite successful among the peasantry, as they helped organize armed resistance societies to aid in their struggles against the landowners. Anarchists also managed to establish Rafael Barrett Cultural Center in the early 90s, hosting an impressive collection of books by fellow Paraguayan and foreign writers, and emboldening the formation of even more trade unions. Rafael Barret, by the way, is one of the most significant figures in Paraguayan anarchist history, according to every account I've read.

Born in Torre de Vega, Spain in 1876, Barret's early life was typical of a world-stew intellectual. He studied languages, piano, and eventually engineering. By his late 20s, he was drawn to Latin America, partly by adventure and partly to make a difference, driven by a growing commitment to justice and solidarity. He arrived in Buenos Aires in 1903 where he found work as a journalist, soon making waves with an article that condemned the stark inequality he observed in Argentina's capital. This critique cost him his job, yet it deepened his dedication to speak for those who were voiceless.

Barat's experiences of seeing European immigrant workers toiling under brutal conditions fueled his indignation against unchecked wealth and poverty's vicious hold on the working class. In 1904, Barat made his way to Paraguay. He was initially welcomed as a correspondent for El Tiempo and even held government positions, including as the director of the Department of Engineers and the Railroad Agency. But his commitment to exposing the country's political and social rot soon put him at odds with Paraguay's new liberal government. He saw that simply swapping out conservative leaders for liberals did little to improve

conditions for ordinary Paraguayans, as demonstrated by the continuous labor struggles that arose in response to the industrialization undertaken by the liberal government. Workers were fighting to abolish child labor, improve their conditions, increase wages, and so on. He couldn't stand by in silence. So he resigned from government service, now fully committed to social justice, even as his growing radicalism began to alienate the political elite. Barrette's personal experiences sharpened his perspective, transforming him from a sympathetic

observer to a dedicated anarchist. His writings in Freminal became essential reading for workers and peasants alike, urging them to see beyond superficial reforms and to challenge the entire structure of oppression. Barret condemned the government's abuses and spoke out against exploitative systems that kept the majority of Paraguayan socialites. He was a fiery advocate for social justice, and one right in particular, Agostor Roabastos, called him the discoverer of Paraguayan social reality. Because Barret didn't just observe these injustices, he threw himself into exposing and condemning them with fervour.

His impact was so significant that even when he was forced to flee Paraguay in 1908 under Gulfon pressure, his ideas endured. His health was deteriorating from tuberculosis, but he continued to write, receiving support from intellectual comrades in Uruguay and Brazil. His final years were just a continuation of his relentless dedication, even as his health continued to decline. In 1910, he went to Paris to seek treatment, but his health failed and he passed away in December of that year. But just before Barrett's exile and passing in 1906, the anarchists would form the first and for some time only Workers' Federation of the country, by joining together the illustrators, carpenters, and drivers' unions.

Rafael Berat actually became something of a thought leader for this group. And this was the Federación Obreras Regional Paraguay, or FORB, partially inspired by the Federación Obrera Regional Argentina, or FORA, where they borrowed many of their programmatic ideas. If you recall the episodes I did on Argentina, you know that the reasoning for the name was ideological. By adding the adjective regional, it made plain that the country in question, whether Paraguay or Argentina, was not being considered a state or political unit, but a region of the world

in which workers struggled for their liberation. Soon after its founding, on the 1st of May 1906, the FOP held the country's first International Workers' Day demonstration, despite police attempts to shut it down. FOP also launched their official publication, El Despertar, in the same year, and the paper carried articles about the anarchist movements in Europe and Latin America, printed works by authors such as Peter Kopotkin and Salmo Lorenzo, published reports of the Forbes activities, named and shamed the known strikebreakers, and encouraged its members to pay their union dues promptly. Subsequent years would introduce other libertarian newspapers such as La Rebellion, La Tribuna,

and Acer El Futuro. After the 1908 coup by Emiliano Gonçalves Navarro destabilized the economy and restricted Asuncion's labor movement, anarchism still found strength among rural and talent industry workers. Despite increased hostility from figures like Presidents Condra and Jara, labor strikes continued, which were met by fierce repression, arrests, and forced deportations. With the outbreak of the Paraguayan Civil War from 1911 to 1912, anarchists and other labor organizations faced a government crackdown.

Groups like the FORP became inactive, temporarily at least. And by 1913, in the wake of the war, a schism was emerging as some unions moved toward reformist ideologies, influenced in part by the populist Colorado Party. Meanwhile, FORP reaffirmed its anarchist and anarchist roots, forming a federal council that included both workers and intellectuals, aiming to rekindle its union activities amidst a wave of reorganization. Post-World War I, a new surge in demand for Paraguayan exports revitalized labor activism. In 1916, the Coop, or Centro Obrero Regional del Paraguay, took on the role of championing

anarcho-syndicalism and labor rights. This move won gain support from a wide network, launching influential publications like El Combate and Renovación. Other groups like May Day and the Revolutionary Nationalist Alliance, which sought a federalist union of the peoples of Latin America, also took part in the resurgence of anarchist ideas. In 1922, the Paraguayan anarchists were able to finally establish links with the International Workers' Association. By the 1930s, Sirriaco Duarte emerged as a prominent voice, advocating for workers' rights despite, you

know, everything. He was a protégé of fellow anarchist and printmaker Félix Cantalicio Aragullo, a Paraguayan mestizo of mixed Indigenous and Black ancestry. At one point, Aragullo and his comrades had helped organize a tram workers' strike in Asuncion, which compelled the government to round them up and dump them in the middle of the jungle in Matagroso, hoping that they would die. And yet Arakuyu and his friends made their way through over 1,300 kilometers of mountain jungle, surviving on roots, fruits, and game, to make their way back to their hometown of Encarnacion.

And speaking of Encarnacion, both Duarte and Arakuyu took part in the little known attempt at an anarchist uprising in Paraguay, which was actually centred in Encarnacion. On the 20th of February 1931, a group of 150 workers and students, organised in a couple popular assemblies, took control of the city of Encarnacion with the goal of establishing a libertarian commune, part of a plan to spark a wider anarchist-cynicalist revolution in Paraguay. This was the culmination of a series of strikes and widespread leafletting by anarchists and students in support of revolution. It wasn't meant to be centred in Encarnacion, as there was a planned construction worker led journal striking en Ci and Suencion and similar action, Vila Rica and Concepcion.

But key organizers in those struggles in those cities were deported in the days leading up to the action. So those planned actions ended up failing. After 16 hours, when their efforts were not reinforced by workers and the rest of the nation, the Interactionists of Incarnacion took over two steamboats and made their way along the river to Brazil. But not before they attacked the Irma Mate companies and burned the records related to indentured laborers in two ports. Their solidarity never died. Even after they went through everything they went through, they didn't lose their sight on what really mattered. Sadly, the 17 students and workers who remained in Encarnacion were arrested.

Duarte found himself jailed and interned on Marquerita Island after Liberal Party President José P. Guguiarri outlawed trade unions. Other revolutionaries were dropped off in the jungle to die at random points along the Parana River. Seven of the captured 17 met this feat, and the other ten spent a few months in prison before being deported to Argentina. Wow. Very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist.

Ruván then faced distinct challenges during the Chaco War from 1932 to 1935 between Paraguay

and Bolivia, which halted much of the anarchist activism. Many anarchists joined the war effort reluctantly, including Duarte, who performed duties in the Reagard while working as a typesetter for various presses, including anarchist presses. With the Paraguayan victory, following the war the return to domestic concerns saw a resurgence of anarchist and labour activities. The government's crackdown of leftist ideologies in the late 1930s and 1940s under President Morinico's rule led to severe repression of anarchist and syndicalist groups. Duarte spent some time as a worker representative at the National Labour Department, or DNT,

who was under considerable fire from the communists, who had taken hold of the trade union movement after anarchism waned in popularity. He finally resigned from his post in 1941 after a workers coordinating committee of seamen, tram workers, bakers, print workers and other trades issued a protest note to President Mourningo threatening to withdraw from the workers' delegate for the infringements of their rights of assembly, to unionise and to strike. Of course, their protest note was completely ignored. The President's authoritarian tenure pushed several anarchist and socialist organizers into exile.

Duarte himself ended up in exile in Argentina by 1942, but eventually was able to retune and reclaim his appointment as a worker representative. But then, not long after, he became a victim of a police crackdown during the 1944 general strike. After the labour movement was hijacked by the Republican Workers' Organization after 1947, Duarte dropped out of trade union activity entirely and refocused to publishing articles in trade union publications abroad and urging research into Paraguayan trade union history. He had faced repeated arrests and took part in strikes anyway, advocating for workers'

rights across various industries. He continued his activism against fascism and authoritarianism, operating from Argentina at times while still supporting strikes on anarchist literature in Paraguay. The 1954 ascension to power of General Alfredo Streisner marked a significant period of intensified authoritarianism. Streisner's regime violently suppressed opposition, including anarchists, for over three decades. Even in his seventies, during the 1970s, Duarte was harassed by Streusner's secret police. Many other anarchists were imprisoned, exiled, or disappeared by Streusner, who imposed tight

control over unions and labor organizers. The 1954-1989 dictatorship of Streusner stifled anarchist activities severely and forced them underground, where they would have to preserve anarchist literature and ideas through secret print publications and solidarity movements. The result of this dictatorship was that anarchism in Paraguay experienced resurgence much later than other Latin American nations. With the spark rekindled only in the early 2000s.

This rebirth of anarchist sentiment emerged largely within the punk counterculture and youth-led social movements, often interconnected with struggles for indigenous rights, economic justice, and environmental causes. The establishment of spaces like La Terraza and Anarchist Squad provided platforms for activists and community engagement, while publications such as Autonomia, Zine, and Grito Fanzine disseminated anarchist ideals. Despite Paraguay's history of anarchist repression, these newer movements, however small, signify some small hope for a renewed interest in libertarian ideas within Paraguay, one that

can be seen even more virulently in other parts of Latin America. Paraguayan anarchists have shown us that the drive of freedom and equality is a daily commitment to defy tyranny and resist exploitation. Despite facing decades of silencing under the destroyst and dictatorship, anarchism did not disappear. The seeds of resistance lay dormant, but they are ready to bloom again as new generations can take up the struggle. As we conclude, let's remember the words of Raphael Barret, who fought tirelessly for the people he came to call his own.
