This thesis has as its theme the history of the Latin American Anticommunist Confederation (CAL). The purpose of this thesis refers to the multinational and subregional anticommunist cooperation that operated at Southern Cone during the National Security Dictatorships, mainly between 1972 and 1979. CAL was founded in Argentina in 1972, this year held its first Congress in Mexico City, as a sister and subcapitular entity of the World Anti-Communist League (LAM), founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1966. We start from the problematization of the management and use of violence in capitalism, to analyze the strategies to combat communism planned by these organizations. The main objective of these entities was to support anticommunist governments. In this sense, our hypothesis is that both, LAM and CAL, acted in a parallel and complementary way, offering help and support to National Security dictatorships. The CAL planned the structuring of an International Communications Agency (ACI), with the aim of disseminating news and propaganda in support of anticommunist governments. With ACI, CAL also aimed at monitoring the content of the Latin American media. The CAL also promoted congresses in order to provide experience-sharing spaces to its members who played and delimited communism broadly, considering it the main enemy of the "Free World" and so designed and built counterrevolutionaries mechanisms. The CAL saw the involvement of staff of the Latin American dictatorial repression, such as police and high-ranking military; as well as representatives of the capital, among them: bankers and businesspersons. Among the CAL members, there were also teachers, journalists and parents. From the consideration of the subject, object and research hypotheses, we could consider as a CAL Caesarist-police apparatus, from the analysis of supply offered by Antonio Gramsci. The CAL acted in the defense of police and military institutions for the resolution of conflicts of class interests. The sources used to analyze the action of the CAL / LAM complex were official documents of the organizations surveyed in the “Archivo del Terror” located in Asunción, Paraguay.
