Abstract

This article takes up once again the events of 1968 in Brazil, particularly within the labor movement and the student movement. Both were to the left of the more traditional movements and proposed an alternative to the PCB and its policy of moderation, which was dominant in the pre-64 period and revealed its limitations as much among workers as among students. However, the student and labor struggles of 1968 in Brazil were unable to make viable a mass alternative, exhausting itself in its vanguard role in the conflict with the dictatorship.
