Brazilian Minister of Education Abraham Weintraub and His Right-Wing Socialism or Right-Wing Statism
By

The
new Brazilian Education Minister Abraham Weintraub has promised that in the
Bolsonaro administration there will be many more daycares than in the former
administrations of socialists Luiz Inácio “Lula” and Dilma Rousseff in Brazil.
He
said:
“Our government plan seeks basic education as a priority and this is what we
are going to follow. More daycares and more schooled children.”
The
concept of daycare — to move the child away from the mother as early as
possible — is a concept embraced, defended and widely practiced in socialism.
When
I heard Lula and Rousseff talking about expanding the number of daycares — to
keep children away from their mothers — I sought to warn. With Lula and Rousseff,
Brazil had a great and horrific increase in the number of daycares.
However,
I expected from a supposedly right-wing government that there would be
incentives for mothers to stay with their children at home to care for and
educate them. So it was a complete surprise to read that Weintraub intends to
increase even more what Lula and Rousseff had already increased.
In
the Lula and Rousseff administrations, increasing the number of daycares represented
the implementation of a socialist ideal. For Weintraub and the Bolsonaro administration,
who think themselves as right-wingers, increasing daycares means what? Right-wing
socialism? Right-wing statism? Not to mention that all kinds of abuse,
including sexual, happen in daycares.
I
voted for Bolsonaro, for example, to eliminate Lula’s law that forces 4-year-olds to
attend school. In making this law, Lula announced
that he was using Communist China’s model. But neither Weintraub nor the
Bolsonaro administration have said they will eliminate this communist law.
In
the case of Weintraub, it is an even more problematic issue because he has been
presented by the media as a man who detests socialism. He said: “Socialist is
AIDS; and communist is the opportunist disease.”
For
a man who hates socialism, any effort to further alienate children from their
mothers would be seen as “AIDS or opportunistic disease.”
The
genuine right-winger against socialism would do exactly the opposite from a
socialist: Implement initiatives to bring and solidify contact between children
and parents.
American
writer Mary Pride, who is a leader in the homeschooling movement in the United
States, quoted Plato, in presenting the ideal socialist society, as saying:
“In the ideal city… there is no
domestic role such as that of the traditional housewife. Since planned breeding
and COMMUNAL CHILD REARING minimize the unpredictability of pregnancy and the
time demanded of mothers, maternity is no longer anything approaching a
full-time occupation. Thus, women can no longer be defined in their traditional
roles.” (Pride, Mary. The Way Home Home Life, Inc.)
The
International Planned Parenthood Federation, which is the world’s largest
abortion organization and supported by the UN, proposed the following
strategies to reduce the size of the world’s population and for couples to have
fewer children: Increased homosexuality; establishment of daycares; laws pushing
women into the workforce.
All
of this is socialism. For over 30 years I have been able to identify these and
other socialist strategies because I have had an excellent conservative
background. I read American evangelical conservative books (in defense of
homeschooling, the Bible, Reagan and against communism) since the 1980s.
Why
then did Abraham Weintraub fail to identify that increasing the number of daycares
means increasing the power of socialism? What is his background? The Intercept classifies
Weintraub as “a disciple of Olavo de Carvalho.” This training seems to have
given him little insight into how to identify socialism in practice.
In
fact, he was not appointed Minister of Education for having experience in this
area, but because he is a disciple of Carvalho and because President Jair
Bolsonaro, for whom I voted, chose Carvalho as his personal
Rasputin. Following Rasputin has brought some
government disasters. Firstly, by indication of Carvalho, Bolsonaro informed last
November that he would appoint Ricardo Vélez as minister of Education.
At
the time, I warned that Vélez had strange views,
including that he was against Trump and supported Hillary Clinton.
Vélez filled the Ministry of Education with confusions and chaos, especially
after hiring Rasputin supporters. The consequence was that Velez lasted only
three months in office. He was fired for incompetence.
Bolsonaro
seems to have learned nothing from this disaster. Now he has appointed an
anti-communist who loves communist daycares. It is a chaotic contradiction.
Bolsonaro
loves Carvalho and his adherents. Bolsonaro’s Foreign Minister, also a disciple
of Carvalho, is an adherent of the Islamic
occultist René Guénon and his most important disciple, Julius Evola, whose
ideas inspired Nazism and fascism. Carvalho and Steve Bannon, who are allies, are
also adherents of Guénon.
Bolsonaro’s
reasoning seems to be: If an adherent of Carvalho in the Ministry of Education
caused disasters, bring another of his adherents to try everything again.
And
Weintraub’s reasoning seems to be: If socialists Lula and Rousseff made
socialist daycares to indoctrinate children in socialism, I will do more
right-wing socialist daycares to indoctrinate children in right-wing socialism.
