The article its about the changes in the Chilean Communist Party's imaginary political internationalist, after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic and the beginning of the "transition" to democracy in his country. It is argued that after a deep internal crisis and its referents, the Chilean Communist Party reformulated its internationalist policy, emphasizing its Latin American perspective. Although it had been developed before, particularly during the Pinochet dictatorship, Cuba's maintenance as a socialist state allowed it to reaffirm the validity of its historic project and to establish new forms of solidarity with other peoples of the continent. This paved the way for the chilean communists to enthusiastically welcome other anticapitalist processes in the region, as was the Zapatista rebellion in Mexico. Although they did not propose to copy it mechanically, the most important communist leaders had sympathy and attraction of the process headed by the EZLN, because it gave some keys to them to frame to the continental scale the mobilizations that propelled in Chile against the neoliberal policies. This is argued based on newspapers, magazines, partisan documents and literature related to the topic.
