Cultura, Democracia, Fascismo, Pedagogia, ResistênciaResumo
O texto analisa a crise contemporânea da democracia, argumentando que ela não é mais derrubada por golpes militares explícitos, mas corroída internamente por meio de mecanismos culturais e pedagógicos. Destaca como o fascismo hoje opera por meio de tecnologias digitais, redes sociais e símbolos culturais que normalizam a crueldade, a exclusão e o apagamento histórico. A cultura é apresentada não apenas como um reflexo da sociedade, mas como um campo de batalha ativo onde o poder molda identidades, desejos e o senso comum. Baseando-se em pensadores como Gramsci, Hall, Adorno e Mujica, o texto enfatiza o papel vital da cultura e da educação como espaços tanto de dominação quanto de resistência. O autor critica a esquerda por subestimar a dimensão cultural da luta política, alertando que, sem uma revolução cultural fundamentada na solidariedade, no cuidado e na pedagogia crítica, a democracia e a consciência cívica estarão perdidas. A era Trump é retratada como uma manifestação do fascismo ressurgente, marcada pela crueldade, corrupção e terrorismo de Estado, com a cultura utilizada como uma “máquina de desimaginação” que sustenta o autoritarismo. O texto conclui com um chamado para colocar a cultura e a educação no centro da política progressista, vislumbrando uma política cultural transformadora capaz de combater o fascismo e renovar a esperança democrática.Downloads
