The article proposes to analyze how the conservative right grounded its anticommunist discourse between the end of the Socialist Republic (1932) and the triumph of the Popular Front (1938) in Chile, a period characterized by political organization of the left. It explains the way in which the conservatives employed the political strategy of fear in order to develop the main axes of their political discourse. After analyzing political documents and press items of a conservative tendency, it deduces four aspects that were present in the construction of the anticommunist discourse of the conservatives: 1) the crisis and the defense of the historical project; 2) the defense of authority and discipline for institutional stability; 3) the moral recomposition of the citizens; and 4) the defense of the hierarchy, liberty and the unequal nature of the citizens.
