| Sumario: | One of the most neglected topics about the revolutionary armed organizations in Argentina is the links they managed to establish with non-armed militant sectors. Especially considering that this phenomenon allowed them to broaden their political influence and turned them into relevant actors in the twilight of the Argentinian Revolution (1966-1973). The aim of this is to analyze this connection focusing in the case of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR). To fulfill this purpose, we divided the work in three different parts. In the first one, we look over the FAR´s original conception about the linkage with other activists. In the second, we examine the initial contacts and relations promoted by the organization, which we consider the second stage in our analysis and lasted from the FAR´s public appearance (July 1970) to the end of 1971. Finally, we investigate how the organization encouraged a more organic and extended ‘articulation’ with the ‘mass movement’ concentrating in the three main fronts of activism: students, neighborhoods and trade unions. In this last stage, which began in 1972 and finished at the beginning of 1973, the FAR take advantage of the growing basses of the Peronist Youth and the revolutionary sectors of Peronism. The task achieved permitted us to conclude that the FAR contributed considerably in shaping the most important political-military organization of the period: Montoneros.
