The Soviet Union and the Communist International had an adverse influence on the Latin American workers’ movement, continually diverting it fighting for a emocratic socialist society. They subordinated the workers’ movements to the interests of the Soviet Union’s ruling class, the Communist bureaucracy. At one oment, they led the workers’ movement in disastrous uprisings, while in a subsequent era they encouraged it to build alliances with capitalist and imperialist power.
