The spread of the magazines and the continuous exchanges with Paris allowed artists in the Western world, whether isolated or united in other groups, to proclaim themselves “surrealists.” The second phase of the movement, from about 1929, had coincided with Salvator Dalí’s membership, and with Breton and many others joining the French Communist Party, wishing to contribute actively to realizing the communist political dream. With the second manifesto of Surrealism in 1930 and the journal Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution from 1930 to 1933 , the project of liberation was further defined, both creatively and socially, and the need for an “absolute revolt” against the established order.
