This man would have been better.

I read a bit about him

Developed the oil industry

Wanted a fair go for the working poor

Didn't mitigate the Integralist movement

Joined the Allies in the end. Make of that what you will

>>2976430
He was anti-communist but was known as "The Father of The Poor"

explain that

>>2977603
Perhaps communists don't actually like the poor?

What does this picture mean?

>>2977622
It's a poster protesting against Vargas and his dictatorship

>>2977628
That much I supposed, but what about the flag?

>>2977616
Wow, it's almost as if "fascism" is arbitrarily used as a buzzword to describe signs of (perceived or real) authoritarianism that have been present in different governments since pretty much always.

>>2977650
The flag is of the state of São Paulo, and the poster is a part of the great paulistan chimp out of 32

>>2977622
It's a poster from the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, when the state São Paulo fought the New State
Supporters of the separatist movement in São Paulo usually praise this revolution and how the Paulistas fought Vargas

>Didn't mitigate the Integralist movement

Vargas showed different political views among his life, you can't simply call him a "facist" just because he was authoritarian at a certain period, after the end of the New State he was even elected and had a populist government
Nowadays he's both praised and hated by a lot of people from different views.

US had fascist characteristics as well, and I don't mean it in the way that retarded conservatards here say "roosevelt was fascist!". A lot of social democracies of the time became de facto corporatist states (which was actually a fascist ideal) because labor unions became formalized and the government created incentives such that unions would no negotiate directly with management through violent action but through labor tribunals established by the government. Vargas, Mussolini and Roosevelt governments all created this apparatus, and it still exists in Brazil and USA today. Ultimately it was a way of coopting labor, taming them and once they became a vested organizational interest dependent on corporate and government goodwill they got weaker and weaker as workers realized after the 1970s that they were toothless to defend real economic downturns of that era.

Moreover Swedish social democrat model, the welfare state in the UK and in France all had similar structures to harmonize relations between labor, state and corporations btw.

>>2978450
Peronism as well

>>2976430
What was he?
A fascist? A socialist? Or something else?

Latin Military Dictator #25210

He was more like a "strongman" type like syngman rhee in korea. He kept all the appearances of a republic but ot was empty on substance, though as the post war showed the republican and democratic forms cpuld be brought to life

>>2978685
Yea definitely
