"Ignorance is not knowing something, is stupidity not admit their ignorance. "(Daniel Turov)

There a U.S. series of books that begin with the title "politically incorrect guide" and then the subject matter. There are several issues, like global warming, the Great Depression and the history of the Constitution. The idea is to demystify some imaginative approaches of past events. Historical Myths end up exercising more influence than the facts themselves, and redeem the truth - or at least shed some questions about "truths" - becomes crucial for a more accurate understanding of important events that eventually handled by the dictatorship of political correct. "

is why the book by journalist Leandro Narloch, Getting Politically Incorrect History of Brazil, deserves to be celebrated. Without fear of messing about with taboos for the Nationalists and the vision to go against "politically correct" taught in schools, Narloch rescues numerous historical facts ignored by the Brazilian people in general. After so many decades of brainwashing by real professors and "intellectuals" Marxists, some truisms reported in the book will certainly shock the unwary reader more. However, escape from the facts does not help. After all, as Aldous Huxley, the facts do not disappear because they are ignored.

One of the first targets of Narloch is the idyllic vision of the Brazilian natives, built on Rousseau. The Indians are still viewed by many as those "noble savages" devised by the philosopher, and so far from reality. This view, that the Indians lived in harmony with each other and with nature, yet produces beliefs and misguided policies. At bottom, the Indians were waging eternal war between them, destroyed forests, animals, people and cultures. The Marxist mindset that the poor Indians were exploited by white thugs, offering trinkets in exchange for precious resources, it also does not hold. For those people isolated from civilization for so long that the wheel had not even yet have access to hooks, axes and mirrors made much more sense than keeping both Brazil wood useless clear. Also, many Indians wanted to acculturate, contrary to what the teachers teach. They viewed with fascination the news brought from Europe.

Finally, what Narloch shows is that, in addition to previously unknown diseases brought by Europeans unwittingly, largely responsible for the extermination of so many Indians were the Indians themselves. The tribes had not seen such a homogeneous group called "Indians" created by Europeans later, but as enemies of other tribes, so foreign to them as the Portuguese themselves. Many tribes saw the arrival of the Europeans an opportunity for military alliance against old enemies. These are things that seem rather obvious after a little reflection, but the version that offend "politically correct" so rampant in the country.

Another nest that shakes Narloch is the issue of slavery. When Marxists decided to rewrite history with his Manichean bias of class struggle, could not be different: this created a bad image of whites on one side and the other oppressed blacks. But the thing did not happen that way. The habit of attacking enemies and people selling them was common in Africa long ago. In fact, slavery was a common practice worldwide in almost all ages, without distinction of color. The black Africans were the largest slave traders black. Moreover, former slaves who managed to freedom soon departed for the purchase of slaves themselves, a status symbol at that time. Zumbi dos Palmares, a character that became synonymous with the struggle against racism in the country, also had slaves. The end to this nefarious practice is basically due to the power of Enlightenment ideas, as well as the English abolitionist movement, based on ideological grounds, not economic, as the Marxists claim. African countries would be the last to abolish slavery. After another

toppled nationalist myths, Narloch the book closes with the rescue of historical facts about the Communists have always fought to establish dictatorship in the country, while today pose as bastions of democracy. Narloch shows how Prestes was nothing but a bunch of thugs and criminals who took advantage of the absence of police in certain areas to spread terror. Inspired by the butcher Stalin, followers of Carlos Prestes was adopting the most abject practices to try to import the totalitarian regime in the country. Failed by their own blunders, and other Communist guerrillas would attempt a coup back in the 1960s, inspired and financed by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The members of these terrorist groups would be largely responsible for our dictatorship, as well as its hardest phase, represented by the Institutional Act number 5. AI-5 was only signed in 1968, and before that the guerrillas committed dozens of robberies, executions, kidnappings, bombings etc. Currently in power, many of these Communists are innocent victims, as if they were fighting for democracy at this time. It is "politically incorrect" to speak the truth about it.

In summary, the book Narloch is a ray of light amid so much darkness. The Brazilians seem to have lost the ability to question, to feed the cynicism and get the facts in a more impartial and rational, not so much emotion. The prevailing worship of false heroes, a nationalist xenophobia that seems more like a child, an anti-capitalist mentality devoid of reason. The book is dedicated to the author's mother, because she led him to "discuss ideas." Here is precisely what makes this country so lacking: to discuss ideas! Without the shackles of political correctness, but with a genuine desire to seek the truth. Who it hurts.
