Olavo de Carvalho e os BRICS

um conspiracionismo anticomunista anacrônico

Abstract

The issue is how Olavo de Carvalho perceives the rise of BRICS, analyzing his narrative about this new pole of geopolitical power
and a project to build a New World Order through the methodology of symptomatic reading, which seeks to discern the unrecognized bias
in the official text, through its ruptures, gaps and lapses, making it possible to grasp the intentions of the Olavist discourse, bringing
to light its true meaning. The sources analyzed are articles and videos by Carvalho produced in the first two decades of the 2000s,
in the context of the creation of the BRICS and the rise of PT governments to power. The elements of his narrative are: the association
of BRICS with the construction of a communist world order; the role of PT governments in this process; and the conjunction between Chinese
Russian bloc and Western globalist elites. The conclusion: there is an anachronistic anti-communist conspiracism in the narrative
and discursive strategies centered on the omission of data from reality, the decontextualization of historical facts and the distortion of
the concepts of communism and capitalism, creating a negative imaginary of the US's geopolitical adversaries, sharing elements of
American neoconservative thought.
