Abstract

The objective of this text is to present theoretical and political elements that contribute to the understanding of the process of political rise, in Brazil, of forces called neoconservatives and their expression in the educational debate. Our central concern is how the negation of science, the questioning of state education, secular and public education, the censorship and interdiction of the debate on issues of gender, identity and race, the culture of hatred and the destruction of public funding for education. The answer is not simple and we understand that it is a process to be built collectively. Initially, we present elements of neoconservative political thought, of North American origin, the theses it defends, the enemies it defines and the defense it makes of capitalist relations. Next, we show how this process gains political expression in contemporary Brazil, in movements generically called neoconservatives, the new right and the extreme right, specifically the face it takes on
in the context of Bolsonarism. Finally, we recover important aspects for the understanding of how the capital in action and its crises, constitute a means of expression of wild and barbaric political and social forms.
