Contribuições da Educação popular para o trabalho de desconstrução do bolsonarismo no Brasil

Abstract

In the second half of 2022, practically the entire progressive field and a significant part of Brazilian society wanted the end of the Bolsonaro government. This is understandable: this is a government that plundered Brazilian citizenship. However, we cannot forget that the end of the Bolsonaro government will probably not be the end of Bolsonarism, this new version of Brazilian fascism. For Bolsonarism is rooted in various sectors of the state and Brazilian society, in addition to the federal government. This article analyzes this context, and based on it, intends to show that the paradigm of social intervention called Popular Education is one of the adequate and powerful approaches to strengthen the collective work of deconstructing fascism and rebuilding our fragile democracy. The methodological option used in the production of the article was a reflective-existential proposal, that is, a rigorous reflection on the author's experience with social intervention. Keywords: fascism; bolsonarism; popular education; democracy
