There might be. But today, I want to continue our journey through Latin American anarchisms and their histories. Now, compared to all the other countries I've discussed so far, such as Peru and Chile and Argentina and Brazil and Cuba, this one had a bit less information about anarchism in its past.

So this will be a sort of a smaller sandwich anarchist history, perhaps fitting of the country that is sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil. I'm speaking, of course, about Paraguay, known for its fraught history of warfare, politically volatile landscape, series of dictatorships, and indigenously intertwined cultural and social fabric.

Anarchism took root in this rather unique setting, and thanks to the work of Angel Capileti and a few other scattered sources, I've been able to piece together the history of anarchism in Paraguay. Without further ado, nos comencemos.

For much of its early history, Paraguay's identity was distinct within South America, from its time as a Guarani settlement to its formation as a Spanish colony in the 16th century. Spanish Jesuit missionaries wielded significant influence, and for over a century, Paraguay was a self-sustained colony with a rigidly hierarchical system based on the Spanish casta system.

Paraguay's economy primarily revolved around agriculture and cattle herding, unlike the mining economies in other Spanish territories. The Guarani people had a significant cultural impact throughout Paraguay's history, and their language and traditions remained central even as Paraguay evolved through the centuries.

Even today, most of the population speaks some variety of Guarani alongside Spanish. Fast forward to the early 19th century, as South American nations began declaring independence from Spain, Paraguay took a unique approach.
