Abstract

This document is based mainly on the reports of Pedro Cardyn, a former militant of the Revolutionary Movement of the Left (MIR) in Chile. It analyzes his experiences in the struggle against the Pinochet dictatorship and the current meanings of utopias of the 1970s that were revived in the 1980s. It is a story of survival and struggle, articulated with a hermeneutic analysis, which allows understanding the meanings that the revolutionary struggle has today and the fact of having been a victim of a violation of basic rights.
