Resumo

The main objective of this thesis is the study of the called the Workers’Movement including the Brazilian national context of military dictatorship in which it arose, in 1978, and its decline in 1985, addressed in the three localities in which it was in force: State of Goiás, Federal Disctrict and State of Pará. Supported by sources ranging from statements, memoirs and biographies to documents of the political organization itself and former members, in addition to journalistic reporting, the thesis seeks to understand how the policy operated in this period boosted the creation of organizations like the MT at the same time that it made it possible to maintain the bourgeois social order and the autocratic content of the state. Acting as a party to the theories developed by Gramsci and Lenin, this work proposes to prove this thesis by analyzing the Movement’s actions and its own configuration when constituting itself as a party of cadres with the constant permanence of the leaders. Chapter 1 will discuss the context of struggle and resistance in the three locations referred to for the insertion of MT in the face of this situation in which the country was. It is based on this reality that the union between rural and city workers develops to form the object of study. In chapter 2, the origins that allowed such a union will be discussed through a common point which is Liberation Theology through the involvement of the progressive wing of the Catholic Church, which becomes essential for the Movement to emerge and take effect. In this sense, the struggle for land, both in rural and urban environments, starts to mean the struggle for housing and in view of this objective, MT acts more than as a movement in search of greater dignity, it acts as a party with centrality and organicity. The contradiction between theory and practice, in the search for autonomy whose concept was developed by Lenin, is seen as a reason for the Movement’s decline, a fact discussed at the end of the thesis. Some of the main actions of this organization are exemplified in chapter 3 with the intention of proving its relevance and dimension, since it goes beyond the regional territory of its emergence. Finally, it is proved that the Workers’ Movement was a victim of transformism, another Gramscian concept, since it adheres to institutionality by being part of the PT and CUT, contradicting its essence of workers’ autonomy, a fact that resulted in its decline.
