Horacio Badaraco

Horacio Badaraco (1901–1946) was an Argentine anarchist and journalist, born in Buenos Aires.

Badaraco and Rodolfo González Pacheco established the anarchist newspaper La Antorcha.[1] Badaraco believed that the demographic diversity of Argentina had positively impacted the country's knowledge base and creativity. He supported the country's indigenous peoples and their struggles against colonialism.[1] Throughout the 1920s, Badaraco's antorchista tendency developed ties with other anti-colonialist movements, including the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, the Zapatistas in Mexico and the communists in Cuba.[1] In Argentine itself, Badaraco opposed the nascent Communist Party of Argentina, which he criticised as authoritarian.[2]
