This paper elucidates the underlying mythic-Kabbalistic foundation of the Americanist proposal of the transnational, Jewish-Mariátegui intellectual network (1925-1930). It reveals the scheme of nationalism-internationalism interrelation, and vice versa, upon which this proposal was built. In turn, this structuring of Jewish-Mariátegui thought allows us to understand its articulation based on the Kabbalistic idea of tikkun ha-olam ha-olam. To this end, two basic considerations must be taken into account: first, that Jewish-Mariátegui Americanism constitutes a transnationalism of transnationalisms; and second, the generation of this transnationalism through the convergence of nationalism and socialism within the network. This also presupposes establishing beforehand the association between the constituent parts of the aforementioned network: on the one hand, the Jewish socialists, and on the other, the founding leader of the PSP (Peruvian Socialist Party), José Carlos Mariátegui, the Amauta. In other words, it is a matter of examining the affinity or complementarity that enabled the aforementioned association. Thus, it is proposed that these elements coalesced around a libertarian thought or discourse, which has been termed Mariátegui-Jewish Americanism in this presentation, and which was itself built upon the foundation of tikkun ha-olam (repairing the world).
