Conservadorismo e fascismo como questões culturais

Abstract

This essay does a theoretical review on the conservative ideology and notes on fascism referenced in Lukács and Chasin, among others. It puts the emergence and estrangement of conservatism into historical perspective, examining the scope, depth and possibilities of the country's culture in social relations. It notes that conservatism is practically born and developed with Brazil itself, and that although there was no lack of desire, flirtation and, perhaps, even the concrete opportunity for the emergence of a de facto fascist apparatus, this did not occur, at least not until now.
