In 1959 the triumph of the Cuban Revolution undoubtedly marked a watershed for the history of Latin America and also for the International Communist Movement. The particularities of the process led by Fidel Castro would also inspire new reflections on the characteristics of the Revolution in our continent, and not only in it, and the ways to achieve it. In this sense, the debate about the revolutionary "way" came to occupy a preponderant place in the agendas of the revolutionary parties. The objective of this paper is to reconstruct the reception of the Revolution led by Fidel Castro in the PC of Chile taking under account the communist militant subectivity and the articulation with local political parties.
