Pânico Moral e Marxismo Cultural: Como o Brasil Paralelo retrata a Educação Pública do Brasil no documentário Pátria Educadora

This article presents the results of an empirical study conducted as part of a master’s thesis, which analyzes the cultural counterrevolution project promoted by Brasil Paralelo, a far-right cultural production company. The research focused on identifying the themes and discursive strategies that shape this project, with emphasis on its didactic and formative nature. The main hypothesis is that the company uses narratives rooted in moral panic to reinforce conservative values. A qualitative design was adopted, using the documentary series “Pátria Educadora”—comprising three episodes available on the company’s YouTube channel—as the primary unit of analysis. The sample was intentional, based on the thematic relevance of the material to the discourse on education. Data were analyzed using Atlas.ti 7 software, with Theodor W. Adorno’s theory of the authoritarian personality as the theoretical framework. Grounded theory methodology was used to classify the arguments according to their frequency and relevance. The main findings show that Brasil Paralelo’s narrative is structured around parental fear regarding a supposed moral decline among youth, appealing to an idealized image of the traditional family. The study concludes that moral panic is a central axis of the group’s political communication. These findings open pathways for further research on the relationship between digital media, political extremism, and cultural production, particularly in contexts of disinformation and ideological disputes within the educational field.
