A-Infos (en) Brazil, UNIPA: The Bolsonarist coup adventure and the reinforcement of the State! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Today Brazil went through a coup adventure. Articulated by the social base of 
Bolsonaro/PL, who fled to the US before the end of his term. The action, 
coordinated by groups that had already been occupying barracks doors since 
Bolsonaro lost the bourgeois elections, had already been publicized for a few 
days. We can observe the ease with which Bolsonaristas entered the headquarters 
of the three powers of the Republic. In many videos, we see police officers 
leading Bolsonaristas to the esplanade and facilitating their actions. ---- Quite 
different from popular demonstrations, which even with immense popular force, as 
on June 17, 2013 in Brasília, where even with 40 thousand people in the streets, 
the insurgents of the popular uprising, were unable to enter the buildings and 
were shocked by the violence of the police. Thus, it is important to dissociate 
the right-wing conservative violence since 2016 from the anti-systemic popular 
insurgency of the June 2013 uprising.

From the US, Bolsonaro and his former minister and security secretary for the 
DF, Anderson Torres/União Brasil, watched the action of their social base, 
inflated by their violent and anti-popular narrative.

In the field of the left, from renewed to degenerate[i]reformism, the proposal 
is, to a greater or lesser extent, the defense of the repressive State, 
abstracting from the various forms of formation of this Bolsonarism, where these 
indeed need to be fought.

The "terrorist" narrative on the part of the reformist left is dangerous and 
tends to attack anyone who questions the prevailing order, left and right. Thus, 
it is a narrative that today attacks the right, but will soon turn against the 
people in struggle.

We identified some possible scenarios: 1) strengthening the repression of any 
combative manifestation. We include there the app couriers strike, scheduled for 
the 25/01th, and which has already been attacked by lulists and petistas; 2) 
maintenance of extreme right mobilizations. Repression, if it does not disrupt 
the organization, can give greater internal unity and lead part of the militancy 
to greater radicalization; 3) with the flight of charismatic leadership, a 
leadership vacuum opens up on the extreme right, which can be filled by new 
regional leaders, who have not yet managed to build themselves up as national 
leadership; 4) the possibility of this right being able to build a centralized 
party, which can give unity and command to this violent base.

The tasks for the people remain the same as those indicated by us. As we stated 
in Communiqué 79:

1) to resume and strengthen the basic instances of struggle and organization of 
the working class, such as assemblies, meetings, agitation, propaganda, protests, 
strikes and solidarity networks with a view to building the FOB and the people's 
congress;

2) combat proto-fascism in the most diffuse and disorganized sectors of the 
people and the Lulist ideology in the popular-union movement: such combats must 
combine struggles for immediate concrete claims and the ideological struggle in 
defense of class independence, the general strike and the boycott electoral. 
Lulism and Bolsonarism are two historical forms of denial of the autonomous 
political capacity of the working class, therefore, the principle of class 
independence without a clearly defined ideological struggle against these two 
trends is nothing more than hollow phraseology, and this ideological struggle 
will produce more effect within real claiming movements;

3) construction and strengthening of new tools of struggle for the proletariat 
and the peoples (under the strategy of revolutionary syndicalism), such as 
autonomous movements and unions, combative oppositions, mutual support groups, 
popular assemblies, cooperatives, etc.;

4) the development of a revolutionary mass line that articulates the task of 
opposition to bureaucracies and autonomous organization of the masses, that is, 
that has tactical flexibility to dispute the course of struggles as Opposition 
and as Independent Movements
