Strategies of Brazilian Elite Domination
In order to maintain their dominant socio-economic and political
positions, Brazilian elites developed and employed a range of strategies
in order to maintain the basic inequality regime established during the
colonial period. Still among the most unequal countries in the world by
Gini Coefficient, this paper seeks to show how Brazilian elites maintained
their position of relative dominance through superstructural and material
transformations in Brazilian society in terms of their collectively finding
solutions to four problems: the Ideology of Creole Revolution,
Unmanaged Elite Competition, Race Relations, and Democracy. As the
latter three remain serious problems for Brazilian elites, the way
previous elites navigated these threats to their position and maintained
the basic nature of the inequality regime through transformations in the
material base and superstructure provide insights into how Bolsonaro
and contemporary conservative elites may attempt to manage the social
democratic forces of the PT.
