Hey everyone, this is Nicolas Ferreira, I'm here with Professor Olavo de Carvalho, he's our great master, as Ives Ganda says, and I'm going to ask him a few questions so we can really learn a bit more from you, sir, and what you advise us regarding young conservatives so we can manage to change the culture that the left has dominated
Desconhecido
in Brazil?
Desconhecido
Well, the answer I have to give you is the same answer that Zé Dirceu gave
Desconhecido
He gave it to the desperate leftists who went to ask him what to do
Desconhecido
And he answered, grassroots work, grassroots work, grassroots work
Desconhecido
Power is not in public offices
Desconhecido
Power is in the deep structure of society
Desconhecido
Power is in the hands of the people
Desconhecido
A disciplined, organized people is an absolutely invincible power
Desconhecido
And that's what we need
Desconhecido
We have already proven that several times
Desconhecido
In 2013 we proved it, in 2015, in 2016
Desconhecido
It has always been the force of the people that changed things
Desconhecido
It wasn't any deputy, nor senator, nor judge
Desconhecido
Nor was it some little movement that did that
Desconhecido
It wasn't any movement, like, for example, the MBL, that brought people together
Desconhecido
It was the masses
Desconhecido
It was the masses
Desconhecido
You could even see it
Desconhecido
I wrote at the time
Desconhecido
Look, the masses seem to be more informed than their leaders
Desconhecido
The masses are understanding what's going on and the leaders are not
Desconhecido
So much so that they made that blunder with the whole march to Brasília business
Desconhecido
That never happened in human history
Desconhecido
You gather 3 million people in the street and say, wait a little while, I'm going to Brazil
Desconhecido
That's an Atlântida farce
Desconhecido
They were well-intentioned
Desconhecido
They have no political culture
Desconhecido
If you give a book by Lênin to one of these youngsters, he'd die
Desconhecido
He can't take it
Desconhecido
The history of communism, the history of communist techniques, they know nothing
Desconhecido
They don't know, those generals don't know either, the politicians don't know either, nobody knows anything
Desconhecido
This stopped being studied in Brazil, it's been nearly 50 years
Desconhecido
When Zé Sarney removed the course on revolutionary warfare from the military academies, he made all the military incapable of dealing with this situation
Desconhecido
They think they know, but they don't
And so, I know that regarding politics you end up getting very involved in that
But how was your period within the Left?
Did you spend a period within the Left, sir?
Desconhecido
Very brief, less than two years
Desconhecido
But were you able to learn anything, sir?
