Bolsonarism

Christopher Rufo turned CRT into an all-encompassing conservative punching bag, while James Lindsay promoted race Marxism as an existential threat.

The anti-woke crusades are also transnational, as we see when the UK fights its own war on woke and Brazil's Bolsonarismo purges the universities.

Ultimately, Wood argues that this long crusade against cultural Marxism has provided a cultural shield for neoliberal deregulation and the triumph of capital.

A.J.A. Woods is an intellectual historian who lives in Brighton, England.

O jovem homem é muito mais antilulista e, portanto-

Bolsonarista.

Tende a, tende a votar no Flávio do que as mulheres jovens até 25 anos, com menos de 25 anos.

E a diferença de gênero entre as outras idades, outras gerações, não é tão forte assim?

We told here that two officers are in the cabinet of... André Mendonça, one of them, Marco Antônio Ferreira, is a disaffection of André Rodrigues.

And in Alexandre de Moraes' office is the delegate Fábio Schorr, who led the investigations of the coup plot, of Bolsonaro's jewels, several investigations against Bolsonaro, Bolsonarism.

After we finished recording, there were new unfoldings of this whole mess.

Alexandre de Moraes accused his nemesis, André Mendonça, of power abuse and asked Fachin, the president of the court, to act.

And the side that is most excited will appear more, should, in theory, appear more.

So this spirit of the election will be fundamental.

That's why, in fact, this September 7th will be a good thermometer to see if Bolsonarism will really come back, which it did, because the last seven Septembers were a fiasco.

They were all very weak, yes.

And so she eliminated and-

But my pushback to that is that this is the first time that a non-Lulista or Bolsonarista candidate has ever reached the double digits since 2018.

Remind me, what did Ciro Gomes get in his polling in the

early stages?

What do you think he'll do? Do you think he'll endorse Flavio or Lula in the second round or just call on people to not vote for anyone?

I think he published something on his Instagram that – be answering your question.

He posted an endorsement from Pablo Marçal, who is someone who wreaked havoc in the 2024 São Paulo mayoral elections, a sort of new wave Bolsonarista that in many aspects was even more radical than Bolsonaro in his proposals.

So, I mean, that doesn't seem like someone who will endorse Lula or simply be silent.

I think that, uh, they can shape parts of the left voting decision for Congress, but the presidential race is pitting Lula against Flávio Bolsonaro.

So we're going to have, for the third straight time, Lulism against Bolsonarism, and I think that everything else falls into the background.

Actually, it's a battle r- of who voters hate the most.

I think that, uh, voters who are afraid of the return of Bolsonarism will side with Lula regardless.

Well, let's talk about Flávio Bolsonaro.

He's the, the son of the, uh, former president, the former president serving a 27-year prison sentence for plotting a coup after leaving, losing the 2022 election.
