A trajetória da Democracia Socialista : da fundação ao PT.
Resumo
The dissertation analyzes the Socialist Democracy s (DS) trajectory between 1979, year of
its foundation, and 1987, when the resolution about the Brazilian Workers Party s (PT)
internal trends was approved. The DS was created on the strength of the unification of
regional groups that acted in the student movement along with old left militants and since
its beginning it contributed to the creation of the PT. During this period, the Socialist
Democracy was one of the organizations that grew the most inside the party, holding
managerial positions in its board, enjoying good relationships with its management and
having most of its proposals incorporated by the PT. The hypothesis of this work is that
this growth was a result of the performance marked by critiscism of the party and its
leadership, and also because of the support to its management and respect of their own
decisions, in an intermediate position that differentiated the Socialist Democracy of other
PT s left organizations, especially that of the trotskists.
