The Brazilian communists on the way of international politcs between the first and second World War

Abstract

In this article we seek to expose an overview of the performance of the Communists in Brazil, drawing a parallel between national and international policies followed by the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), began in the period of the early twentieth century, when more organized actions occur within the working class, to the initial moment of the Cold War and the bourgeois military coup in Brazil. Thus, the article seeks to give an overview of the political and economic development of Brazil as a country agricultural export-oriented economy and politically characterized by a development of “prussian way”. The I and II World War, the Cold War, the influence of anarcho-syndicalism and the quest for democracy are some of the topics discussed here. We note that at any given time, following the foreign policy stream, the PCB is identified by the State as a national enemy, as well as the USSR and socialism are at the international level.
