The Brazilian military dictatorship kept the torch of fascism alive after the Nazi era ended. That's why the term 'neofascist' was coined in the 70s by Noam Chomsky - to describe the dictatorships in Latin America. And Bolsonaro wants to go back to a dictatorship.

Brian translated the recent articles Bolsonaro and the Institutionalization of Necropolitics and International Interests and the destruction of Brazilian Democracy for New Socialist.
