Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to analyze the political militancy of Açao Popular and Montoneros, from the comparative method proposed by Marc Bloch in his classic article “For a comparative history of European societies”. Following this line of research, we study the paths of both organizations comparing its origins in the renewing Catholicism, his approach to socialist positions and the differentiation of their political choices, to the Peronism in Montoneros, and to Maoism in Açao Popular. From this approach we can raise hypothesis about the specificity of political process at national level, in particular the strength or weakness of leftist and populist political formations in both countries, as well as crossings and disagreements between the two traditions. It was investigated general bibliography on guerrilla warfare and left in Argentina and Brazil, as well as specific literature about Açao Popular, Montoneros, the question of political and religious radicalization and the method of comparative history. Furthermore, we analyze a series of documental sources of the two organizations.
