The integralist action had at it's peak 1,5 million members and 80 thousand militiamen, it was the first group in latim america to have woman, children, black people and native americans on it at the same time, it was present in more cities than the brazilian government itself, it was until the 90s the largest political movement in Brazilian history (and one thing, in the 1990s our population was about 180-90 million people, while in 1932 it was around 37 million, so the level of national mobilization that the integralist action anchieved is gigantic)

My neighbour is 90 year old, he was a member of the integralist youth and he described me a scene like the one you wrote, they had reunions inside the city church and almost the entire city was filiated to the AIB.

The movement was purged from Brazilian history, most of our professors are hardcore left wing, and until Dilma's impeachment the ministery of education was closer to the soviet Sovinformburo (their propaganda bureau) than a actual ministery of education, so they only teached what could be considered constructive according to their left wing ideology. Getúlio Vargas only escaped from that (I remember that we had some classes about him in 2013) because his second government between 1950 and 1954 was very left wing, and so he fell in favour of our historians

Yeah,the lack of patriotism and the amount of socialist bullshit in our books was impressive back when i was at school. And that's because i was lucky to be able to not study in a public one.

Damn, they didn't even talk about Brazil's participation in WWII. All they mentioned was that "Brazil sent some soldiers to Italy but it wasn't important". I almost punched the book.

And, despite being a dictator with some scary fascist tendencies (like having praised Hitler and Mussolini before they screwed up), he did some pretty good stuff as well. It's a pity our current politicians are trying to throw away everything he did and then spit on it, like screwing up basically every right of the workers and selling off what remains of Brazilian companies managing strategic resources to strangers.

Our educational system is basically left wing indocrination

And Getúlio didn't praised Hitler, the closest he came to doing that was saying that the era of the liberal democracy died after Paris fell during a speech on the battleship Minas Geraes, and that is it
