This paper aims to analyze the doctrinal changes and constants of the Socialist Party of Chile, using as sources two programs of special significance for the history of that party: the Program of 1935, and the Program of 1948, because both implied, on the side of the Program of 35 'the first attempt to create a doctrinal synthesis, and the second program, that of 48', implied the end of the initial doctrinal disputes, and the consolidation of the internal hegemonic positions of the party.
The Socialist Party of Chile, founded in 1933 as a convergence of ideologically and doctrinally diverse groups, whose only points of union were anti-capitalism, critical of the Communist Party, and the adoption of a rather generic socialism. Product of its doctrinaire laxity had a series of breaks and income throughout the decades of the 30 'and 40', that is why the study of the statutes allows us to delve into internal discussions, dominant positions within the party, purges, incorporations and mutations, which implied a progressive development of the socialist ideology in Chile: from a party with diverse ideological tendencies, to a democratic socialist party.
