(en) Brazil, OSL: Down with repression and censorship in Bento Gonçalves (RS)! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sun, 2 Nov 2025 08:21:34 +0200


The Organização Socialista Libertária (OSL) strongly condemns the persecution faced by an education worker in Bento Gonçalves (RS) at the hands of city council members and the mayor. Rio Grande do Sul, like other states, has become a major stage for persecution against education workers. ---- This new episode of persecution arises from the fact that the worker, outside of working hours and on his personal social media, published political cartoons criticizing the ideas of Charlie Kirk, a far-right activist from the United States who was assassinated earlier this month. The cartoons satirize the fact that Kirk defended the "sacred right" to own and carry firearms, even if it caused deaths - and that his own death happened precisely as a consequence of that stance.

There is no justification for turning critical art and legitimate critique into a pretext for public lynching and political repression. This persecution reveals an authoritarian attempt to silence voices denouncing the rise of the far right in Brazil and around the world. And, as always, it exposes the hypocrisy and contradiction of the far right: while its members speak in favor of unrestricted freedom of expression, they are the first to portray themselves as victims when their ideas are criticized.

We reaffirm our solidarity with the worker and defend his freedom of expression.

Down with authoritarianism! Down with repression and censorship!
We must fight far-right persecution with class solidarity, struggle, and organization.
