 Getulism[edit | edit source]

Getulism was a  center-authoritarian left,  strongly paternalist,  populist, and  nationalist ideology based on the ideas of  Getúlio Vargas (1882-1954), who ruled Brazil as a dictator from 1930 to 1945 and as an elected president from 1951 to 1954. It was heavily inspired by Castilhismo, the ideology of the former governor of Rio Grande do Sul  Júlio de Castilhos (1860-1903), which held three basic tenets:

• Rulers must be choosed based on their moral purity and not their popularity;
• Partisan disputes must be eliminated and instead, virtue should be valorized;
• The ruler should "regenerate society", and the State should direct its transformation and modernization.

Getulism was also inspired by  Benito Mussolini's fascism during Vargas' time as a dictator, but shifted further to the left after WW2, becoming prominent in the Brazilian Labour Party. Getúlio believed in the creation of a strong centralized state led by a paternalistic figure, whose duty was to "morally regenerate society" through political reforms meant to uphold the well-being of the people. His policies featured an exacerbated populism centered around his image.

He saw the role of the State as an institution meant to guide the population toward a virtuous, modern society, using its authority and the collective interests to achieve general welfare. Under modernist principles, national prosperity was also an important objective, which should be achieved through the  development of the industry. Getúlio also believed that  labourism was an essential step towards a just society and that the benefit of the people through public services was a social obligation for those in power. His government has led to the first major advancements in labour rights in Brazilian history.

•  Socialismo moreno (English: "dark-skinned socialism") is the political doctrine adopted by Getúlio Vargas' followers since the 1950s, after his death. It is the heir of his legacy in Brazil; as such, it takes a lot from his ideas, like nationalism, developmentalism,  economic interventionism, and labour rights. Its most famous figures are  Leonel Brizola (1922-2004),  João Goulart (1919-1976), and  Alberto Pasqualini (1901-1960).
