Victor Raul Haya de la Torre was a Peruvian political leader who founded the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) political movement. He was considered the most important Peruvian intellectual of the 20th century in his country.He advocated a system of Indo- American (Latin American) solutions to Latin American problems. He called upon the region to reject both U.S. imperialism and Soviet communism.He favored universal democracy, equal rights and respect for indigenous populations, and socialist economic policies such as agrarian reform, based on the concept of communal land ownership, and state control of industry. Haya de la Torre advocated the overthrow of the land-owning oligarchies that had ruled Peru since colonial days, replacing them with an idealistic socialist elite. However, in exchange for attaining legal status for the party, he made opportunistic ideological swings to the right, and by the 1950s it had jettisoned most of its progressive, socialist ideals. In addition, Haya de la Torres single-handed dominance APRA resulted in pronounced sectarian and hierarchical traits, resulted in an exodus of some of APRAs most talented young leaders to the Marxist left.
