Sumario:Considering the public interventions of Oliveira Vianna on the occasion of the centenary of Independence in 1922, this article exposes how the intellectual reflected on the descriptive specificity of Brazil and the consequent political projects derived from his description. His formulations entrusted instrumental authoritarianism with the mission of organizing nationality for a liberal political future. This article describes the instrumental authoritarianism conveyed in Oliveira Vianna's work (1922) and aims to evaluate the different forms of discursive appropriation of this powerful idea, emphasizing three of its main pillars – nationalism, anti-Marxism and syndical-corporatism – in two moments of Brazilian republican history: the military regime (1964-1985) and the Bolsonaro government (2019-2022). Imagined with contextual nuances and singular variations, the instrumentality of authoritarianism was considered in different ways in the writings of Golbery do Couto e Silva, regarding the post-1964 dictatorship, and in the discourse articulated by Bolsonaro throughout his 2018 presidential campaign and his term in office, to justify democratic ruptures.
