God, motherland and bullet: a study about the genealogy and meanings of the far-right ascension at 2018 brazil.
Far-right; Bolsonarism; Democracy.
The far-right rise in Brazil was crowned with the election of former congressman Jair Messias Bolsonaro, changing the democratic debate at the country. Thus, Bolsonaro’s achievement was a milestone to Brazilian social and political scene. This research is inserted in this scenario. I try to answer, at first, these questions: how was possible Jair Bolsonaro´s election? What are the keys trajectories for understand this fact? What the meanings can be extracted from the election of a congressman representing anti-democratic ideas? Given the above, the research analyzes the genealogy of this rise and its meanings, as well as the nature of the “new conservatism” or, “new right” or, in the terms I use, far-right, through six main forces that supported and made possible Bolsonaro’s election: the left government proposal rejection represented by the workers’ party (antipetismo); Specific classes support (Middle class, bourgeoisie, churches and elites); The traditional agenda manifested by a supposed defense of family values, of “conservative” values against the communist threat (abort legalization, deployment of civil rights, supposed invasion of gender ideology at schools etc.); the speech against corruption, against the “system” (against the “old politics”); The social networks usages, such as: facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram and Wathsapp as a communication way, spread of ideas, dissemination of lies and false antagonisms exploitation, such as good against evil, Christianism against communism, among others. As methodology I use bibliographical and documental research analyzing official documents, government programs, constitutional amendments projects, Known as PECs and law projects through out fifteen years divided into three specific periods: the worker’s Party Cycle, started in 2003, the “June journey” in 2013, the “there will be no cup movement in 2014”, “get out Dilma” in 2015, and finally, the Jair Bolsonaros’s election as president in 2018, representing the Brazilian far-right.
