New Resistance (Brazilian Portuguese: Nova Resistência) is a Brazilian national-revolutionary organization with an anti-liberal, anti-capitalist and traditionalist matrix, it rejects globalization in favor of a multipolar system, opposes the privatization of public companies, economic domination of the United States and the European Union, criticizes the LGBT movement, claims a political heritage from the nationalist-worker movement of Getúlio Vargas, and draws heavily on the thought of Alexander Dugin, especially in the fourth political theory.
History and Ideology
New Resistance is a national-revolutionary movement, opposed to the successive governments of Brazil in the 2010s. NR opposes the privatization of public companies, opposes the economic domination of the United States and the European Union, claims from the nationalist-labour political heritage of Getúlio Vargas[1]and is strongly inspired by the thought of Alexander Dugin.[2]
In the economic field, NR defends distributism, an economic theory inspired by Catholic social doctrine and disseminated by authors such as Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), whose main idea is the defense of small private properties - which should belong to families - in opposition to land concentration. In the customs instructions, they are against certain so-called “progressive” flags. Supporters of the movement often criticize, for example, the so-called "LGBT lobby", groups such as Black Lives Matter and gender ideology. They also condemn, however, certain lines of conservatism, despite being traditionalists[3]. A recent text on the movement's website claims, for example, that "bourgeois conservatism" was "imbued with modern decadence." “When we talk about 'conservatism', we have to ask ourselves: what is there to conserve? Bourgeois notions of family eroded what, in effect, preached traditions as the nucleus or bosom of the family. Neoliberalism has swallowed up the life of clans and families. Men and women, whose natural functions were once defined, are today crushed by the gray fauna of the cities.
Group leader Raphael Machado said:
In 2015, nationalism and patriotism in Brazil were closely tied to Americanist anti-communism, which we didn't like.[4]
Since we were neither communists, nor liberals, nor fascists, we saw that the only alternative was to build our own movement.[4]
Each civilization has its own identity and cosmovision, which is why it should act as an autonomous geostrategic space, following its own principles, even if preferably in dialogue with other civilizations.[4]
As in the European case, the NR will operate within the logic of political syncretism, mixing elements of a right-wing social conservatism with anti-imperialist, syndicalist and anti-capitalist agendas, fighting for "mimetic competition with radical left movements" and blurring the boundaries between right and left.
Examples include the use of anti-colonial and revolutionary discourse for the unification of Latin America against US-led globalism, the justification of the state as an instrument of economic planning. However, they do not fit into the disinterestedness of those who say they do not want to position themselves “neither on the right nor on the left”, as they present a clear vision of what they intend for society. They argue, for example, that the "rescue of traditional spiritualities" is "fundamental to combating modern and post-modern evils". They define themselves as traditionalists and nationalists, and are against globalism.
Along the same lines, the movement will also welcome and advocate different Third World liberation struggles, such as Pan-Arabism of Baathism and Nasserism, Muammar Gaddafi's Jamahiryia, Argentine Peronism, Bolivarism, Lebanese Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolution.
