The text is a review of the book "Los más ordenaditos. Fascismo y juventud en la dictadura de Pinochet" (The Most Orderly Ones. Fascism and Youth in the Pinochet Dictatorship) written by Yanko González Cangas. The author conducts an ethnographic and archival study to understand the processes of formation of "youth of the State" during the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile. The book examines the ideological and political links between the Pinochet dictatorship and Franco's dictatorship in Spain, as well as the importance of youth for the dictatorial regime. The organizations established by the regime to lead the youth and the processes of symbolic indoctrination used to instill in them the mission of rebuilding the nation are also analyzed. The study shows how the regime used mechanisms of ideological and symbolic persuasion to train and control young people and perpetuate its authoritarian project. [Extracted from the article]
