In Argentina, During the 1920s former socialist Leopoldo Lugones became a supporter of fascism and from this basis a coterie of pro-fascist intellectuals grew. Including amongst its number Juan Carulla, Ernesto Palacio, Manuel Gálvez, Carlos Ibarguren, Roberto de Laferrere, Mario Amadeo and the brothers Rodolfo Irazusta and Julio Irazusta, they gaThered around the journal La Nueva Republica and expressed ideas reminiscent of those of Charles Maurras.[1] they grouped togeTher under the name ADUNA (Afirmación de Una Nueva Argentina) although this was a loose alliance that struggled for support outside the intellectual elements of society.[2] they did however work closely with the government of José Félix Uriburu, which initially attempted to introduce corporatism inspired by Benito Mussolini before giving way to the "Infamous Decade'.
