Social democracia e colonial-bonapartismo no Brasil: apontamentos sobre a autocracia burguesa no período 1995-2006

A análise que ora apresentamos busca compreender a particularidade da social democracia brasileira no momento por nós identificado como o processo de sua consolidação. Ao discutirmos as determinações desta particularidade, analisamos a forma pela qual a autocracia burguesa se reproduz no país, desdobrando-se historicamente em uma forma específica de bonapartismo. Assim, compreendemos o período de 1995 a 2006 como o momento histórico de consolidação do projeto social democrata no Brasil, onde a legalidade burguesa se consolida sob a hegemonia da fração financeira do capital, reproduzindo o colonial bonapartismo no país.

A ruptura institucional de 1964 e o sentido da democracia

O significado da palavra democracia sempre esteve em disputa no Brasil, assim como em todo o mundo ocidental. Quando se criou o hábito de dizer que em 1945 o Brasil assistia a sua 'redemocratização' estava implícito que em precedência, quiçá antes de 1930, houvera um Brasil democrático. Aqui se procurava confundir a veste liberal da dominação oligárquica com democracia, até para que se legitimasse a persistência do poder oligárquico, sob as novas condições da revolução burguesa em andamento, na institucionalidade liberal-corporativa que foi implantada com a Constituição de 1946.

A política como incômodo

This article holds that the dominant scene of the “crisis of politics” in modern societies reflects a complex process of reconfiguration of social life and way of living. Through critical dialogue with some representatives of political sociology of radicalized modernity, it suggests that current failure of politics is the failure of one way of doing and thinking about politics, direct heir of “historical capitalism”. It is not the failure of politics as such, but of a mode of politics, political system, political practice. It must be associated with a sort of fatigue of the material which composed modern politics, which has always been based on strong national and constitutional states, on mass parties and active parliaments, as well as on the efficient functioning of representative democracies.
