| dc.description.abstract |
During June and July of 1971 , representatives of Bolivian union and left -wing political organizations from across the nation gathered in the Legislative Palace with the objective of installing the Popular Assembly . In the absence of a democratically elected parliament the newly formed power organ of the proletariat attempted to formulate a strategy that would lead the country towards socialism . President Gen . Juan José Torres , a member of progressive sectors of the army that followed a national -popular agenda , supported the Assembly in a moment of high political instability amidst permanent threats from conservative factions of the army to seize power . With a majority of representatives from labor organizations and a preeminent role of mining workers , the Assembly followed the example of the Russian Revolution of 1917 . The 'first soviet of Latin America' , as it was called both by supporters and detractors , was the outcome of the particular twenty -five year political trajectory of the labor movement that combined a set of ideological principles and core framing tasks . The Popular Assembly came to a sudden end in 1971 when Gen . Torres’ presidency was cut short by a coup that brought a conservative military to power . Though it was never able to achieve its main political objectives , the case of an abortive social revolution allows a better understanding the role of ideology , collective action frames and historical events in explaining the outcomes of social revolutions and the actions of social movements . |
