Mainstream society saw the faction as the "fiefdom of a madman"; with the group's brutal street battles and its totalitarian and xenophobic beliefs making it deeply unpopular. Even during the tumultous 1920s, when ideological radicalism entered the mainstream, the group remained deeply controversial and unpopular. Its share of the party exceeded no more than 10% at its peak, and popular support reached no more than 15%. Even within the right, the Paraguan faction was denounced by a majority of other groups. | Mainstream society saw the faction as the "fiefdom of a madman"; with the group's brutal street battles and its totalitarian and xenophobic beliefs making it deeply unpopular.

The faction led a failed putsch during the party congress of 1929 - Karia's delivered speech was heckled over by the centrist, liberal, and socialist delegates of the party and his paramilitary forces, entering the hall at the wrong time, were easily overpowered by the event's security. The faction was banned the next day by both state and party executive orders, with many of the group's delegates and adherents either executed for treason, exiled, or jailed. | The faction led a failed putsch during the party congress of 1929 - Karia's delivered speech was heckled over by the centrist, liberal, and socialist delegates of the party and his paramilitary forces, entering the hall at the wrong time, were easily overpowered by the event's security.

To this day, any support or use of its symbolism and rhetoric outside of academic discussion is seen as dangerous to democracy and therefore illegal. In parliamentary discussion that led to the formal naming and banning the faction in the ''Political Organizations Act'' - "the beliefs of the Paraguan faction can only be seen as a thought-virus. Anyone can be susceptible to this virus, and in turbulent times in which the immune system of democracy seems to falter, this virus calls for us to do the worst in defence of the best. We must therefore stamp out every outbreak, every case, so that it may never spread again." | ||
