O anticomunismo empresarial na pauta do IPESPaulo Ayres Filho e a construção de um projeto conservador (1961-1967)

Resumo

This dissertation analyzes the role of entrepreneurial anti-communism in the formation and consolidation of the business-military dictatorship in Brazil (1964–1988), focusing on the activities of Paulo Ayres Filho within the Institute for Research and Social Studies (IPES). Drawing on a Gramscian theoretical framework, the study understands IPES as a private apparatus of hegemony and Paulo Ayres Filho as an organic intellectual of multinational and associated capital, responsible for formulating, disseminating, and operationalizing an anticommunist discourse that functioned as the structuring axis of a conservative class political project. Based on documentation from Paulo Ayres Filho's personal archive, held at CPDOC/FGV, the research demonstrates that entrepreneurial anti-communism did not operate merely as ideological representation, but as a deliberate political pedagogy capable of organizing alliances among bourgeois fractions, mobilizing social sectors, and legitimizing the democratic rupture of 1964. The study comprises the time frame from 1961, the year IPES was founded, to 1967, the final year of the Castelo Branco government, a moment of intense Institute activity and occupation of State positions by its members. The findings indicate that the organized business sector's activities around IPES constituted a decisive element in the construction of the conservative hegemony that sustained the business-military dictatorship, articulating repression, institutional reorganization, and integration into dependent capitalism.
