Extract

After the Chilean junta abolished party democracy in September 1973, it announced plans for a new constitution modeled on corporatist lines. Although, to date, few concrete expressions of these proposals have emerged, there is enough evidence since 1973 to suggest the lines along which the junta is thinking, and this indicates that not only international factors but also two sources of native historical inspiration are at work. First, and most important, Chile's military dictators were considering elevating an existing infrastructure of government-certified functional interest groups to replace the outlawed parties as intermediaries between the State and the individual. These gremios (private economic sctoral organizations, such as the National Society of Agriculture) had traditionally shaped public decisions both as representatives of their occupational fields and as permanent, often official, participants in state agencies concerned with their production sectors.

Ideological antecedents of the FNPL could be found in the MNS of the 1930S, the MNCH of the 59405, and minor coup conspiracies in the 1940$ and 1950$. Another tiny party precursor was the allegedly neo-fascist Revolutionary National Syndical Movement, with roots back to 1947. The Movement opposed both the Frei government and communism, preached gremialism, worked with the traditional Right, and disappeared after being made illegal in 1964 because of charges that it was a totalitarian Nazi party.
