IDEOPOLITICAL PROJECTS IN DISPUTES AND THE REPERCUSSIONS ON SOCIAL POLICIES: THE ADVANCE OF THE NEW RIGHT AND THE SUBTRACTION OF SOCIAL RIGHTS

Abstract

The social democratic project of the labor parties resulted in reforms in social policies. From 1980 onwards, with the global capitalist crisis in the 1970s, the so-called New Right ascended, which subtracted labor and social rights and gave rise to a part of this so-called New Right to become extreme in conservatism and ultra-neoliberalism. The objective of this article is to analyze the repercussions on social policies of the different ideo-political government projects, pointing out the challenges of rowing against the neoliberal tide for governments of class conciliation in Brazil. It is an analytical and qualitative research, based on literature intentionally chosen to meet the proposed objectives. The method of exposition begins with the first session that conceptually addresses the denomination of the emerging New Right until its sharpening in extreme right-wing groups of a religious, military and neoconservative nature. In the second, it analyzes the New Right in Brazil and after 2016 its far-right expressions with the government of Jair Bolsonaro and the counter-reforms implemented. In the last session, we problematized the possibilities of the return of neo-developmentalism and a government of class conciliation, its challenges and possibilities.
