1964 and 2015: WHY THEY FEAR THAT THE BRAZIL TURN A "NEW CUBA"
Almir Albuquerque 1.4.15 Policy
Bolsonaro celebrates Blow
Exactly 51 years, class struggle and social conflict reached a climax in Brazil. On the morning of April 1, 1964, the Olympio Mourão Filho general leading the troops of the Army, based in Juiz de Fora, to overthrow President Joao Goulart. The justification for such a serious attack on democracy was save the day - and, at a higher level, to the "Western Judeo-Christian civilization" - the "communist threat". But behind these alleged heroic measures, there are more pragmatic reasons.
Preventive Strike
Since 1961, with the resignation of Quadros of the presidency, the workers had been organizing in the cities and in the country for rights. For national elites, heirs of the conservative order in which their privileges are considered untouchable for centuries, any movement that threatens this condition must be fought on all fronts. That's how the business community and the first employers were organized in the early 60s in institutions that had as a front to study the country's situation and propose reforms within the liberal framework (but a sui generis liberalism à la Brazil, where economic freedoms living with an exaggerated conservatism, capitalism "meritocratic" living side by side with paternalism).
In March 1964 Goulart found himself in the middle of a crisis between conservative and progressive sectors. In the famous Rally of Central, on March 13, he finally decided on the progressive side, proposing measures that would be the kickoff for Grassroots Reform. At this point, the elites found that the pressure on the government would no longer effect, would have to give his last card: a coup.
What Cuba has so threatening?
In any coup anniversary, officials gather at the Military Club to celebrate the heroism of those who saved the country - in fact, those who first cercearam the hopes of the people and then persecuted, tortured and killed those university students who fought against tyranny. Jair Bolsonaro is the most ridiculous face today this movement, letting off fireworks and extending tracks in Brasilia, thanking the soldiers who have not left the Brazil turn a new Cuba. But what exactly they so afraid of Cuba?
Certainly not the lack of freedoms. This is obvious in that the military dictatorship that the ruling classes fostered in Brazil exercised censorship and political persecution that has never been seen at this level on the Caribbean island. That is, for the elites, democracy is just a detail: they knew perfectly live for two decades in Brazil without democracy and freedom, and live even longer, if they could, provided that their privileges were maintained.
In fact, what has Cuba and they both fear, is a quality public education for all people, especially blacks and poor; medical-grade services; a tiny social inequality, where there are no rich nor destitute; an interest in politics as little seen in the world; no latifundia taking land from the peasants and employ semi-slave labor; and finally, a society in which the human being by itself is worth more than the family is born, the estate or the contacts that someone may have for personal favoritism. That's what the Brazilian elites and the middle classes co-opted fear of Cuba. Not the supposed lack of freedom.
In this sense, we can clearly understand to what extent the Brazilian elites can get when the search for more rights, less inequality and more democracy threatens their status. First lie, making use of the media that serve them to propagate a ridiculous threat of communist threat; then leave aside the specific differences between its members to organize in defense of their class interests; appeal to the religious feeling of the population claiming that enemies threaten "the pillars of Judeo-Christian civilization" (if the unfortunate poor country such thought, perhaps they themselves would be the first to break down such pillars, being the source of resignation before the most perverse social inequality in the world); and finally go so far as to overthrow the democratically elected government to save their privileges.
All this would be merely a great lesson of history, we should understand to correct, but unfortunately, the very military regime that lasted 21 years in power, also raped the Brazilian education system. The cursed legacy of these dark times can be felt to this day, when the longing for dictatorship permeates common sense. The film is repeated today when the middle classes co-opted by the ideology of the elite take to the streets and ask Impeachment military coup, and when that society, half disjointedly still cries for more rights and social justice, as in 64.
The unusual is that the current government, not nearly, but not from a distance, can be accused of communist, or even propose reforms that will tickle their privileges. But the Brazilian bourgeoisie is so selfish, that just the mere social rise of the miserable status of primary consumers for the alarm to sound.
On this anniversary of the military coup of 64, that the Brazilian citizens to reflect on the irrational fear of communism. Surely he will come to the conclusion that this phobia has been fostered for decades to hide the class interests of the Brazilian elites.
