Abstract
In this article we tested a map of political activation on the ground. We track the different forms of labour and popular associations in the mid-20th century in the Plata Sea: trade unions, libraries, promotional societies. We also deal with the various forms of articulation between these associations and the activism of Peronists, Anarchist and Socialists. In this regard, our intention is to highlight the frictions between identities that are not always compatible, and to highlight the noise and misalignments in the hegemonic joints linking those associations. We concur that the hegemony exercised over these areas by the various political and supporter organisations, as well as the government and state initiatives that struck those areas, were not able to completely overshadow the margins of independence, since a quota of their own initiative was irreducible to the wishes of hegemony. The labour and popular associations at all times reserved a quota of decision-making power for themselves, in most cases linked to their ‘special interests’. In this sense, these spaces were ‘nests of democracy’, but of a non-liberal democracy carrying popular belligerance events.
