| description | This article examines the transformation of Victor Serge’s political positions during his exile in Mexico from 1941 to 1947. During this period, through a critique of Soviet and Nazi totalitarianism, Serge reformulated orthodox communism in favor of a renewed socialism that included the principles of democracy and freedom. This provoked a schism within the Socialismo y Libertad group, revealing the profound differences between Serge’s antitotalitarian critique and the anticommunist position that Julián Gorkin would move towards in the 1950s. Using sources such as Serge’s diary in Mexico and publications such as Análisis. Revista de Hechos e Ideas (1942) and Mundo (1943-1945), this article argues that this redefinition of socialism was deeply influenced by Serge’s exchanges with a small circle of German-speaking writers, doctors and psychoanalysts whose anti-Stalinism put them in constant tension with the communist exiles who also found themselves in Mexico. Serge’s critique of orthodox communism includes elements of Marxist thought, literature and psychoanalysis, introducing the variables of subjectivity and the unconscious in the analysis of political and social processes. The coincidence of these perspectives in the framework of a political reflection on the consequences of World War II is a distinctive feature of Serge’s thinking during the last stage of his life. |

Este artículo examina la transformación de los planteamientos políticos de Victor Serge durante su exilio en México entre 1941 y 1947. A partir de una crítica al totalitarismo soviético y al régimen nazi, durante este periodo Serge realiza una reformulación del comunismo ortodoxo en el sentido de un socialismo renovado, contemplando la inclusión de los principios de democracia y libertad. Lo anterior provocó una escisión dentro del grupo Socialismo y Libertad, que anuncia las profundas diferencias que es posible observar entre la crítica antitotalitaria de Serge y el anticomunismo hacia el cual evolucionó Julián Gorkin en los años cincuenta. Utilizando como fuentes el diario de Serge en México, así como las publicaciones Análisis. Revista de Hechos e Ideas (1942) y Mundo (1943-1945), este trabajo propone que esta redefinición del socialismo estuvo muy influida por los intercambios que Serge mantuvo con un pequeño círculo de escritores, médicos y psicoanalistas de habla alemana y de tendencia antiestalinista, en tensión permanente con el exilio comunista que se encontraba también en México. En la crítica de Serge hacia la ortodoxia comunista convergen elementos del pensamiento marxista, la literatura y el psicoanálisis, introduciendo las variables del inconsciente y de la subjetividad en el análisis de los procesos políticos y sociales. La coincidencia de estas perspectivas en el marco de una reflexión política acerca de las consecuencias de la segunda guerra mundial es el rasgo distintivo del pensamiento de Serge en la última etapa de su vida.
