The journalist mocked those who rebelled after Caetano Veloso said he left liberalism after meeting the Marxist historian. “Fearful of criticizing the musician, but subservient to liberalism, they offend their interlocutor”, says Altman edit
247 – The journalist Breno Altman defended the historian Jones Manoel, who began to receive a series of repressed attacks for the simple reason that he was praised by Caetano Veloso. “The attacks on Jones Manoel, after Caetano’s interview with Bial, are cowards. They hardly disguise, from the right and the left, the sickest anti-communism, calling it ‘Stalinist’. Fearful of criticizing the musician, but a servant of liberalism, they offend his interlocutor, “Altman said. Find out more below:
Singer and composer Caetano Veloso said in an interview with the program Conversa com Bial, on TV Globo, on Friday night (4), that he is less angry with socialism today and considers himself “less liberal” than two years ago. . He said that he came into contact with critical readings on liberalism through “a young man from Pernambuco, Jones Manoel.”
As a result of the interview, motivated by the premiere of the documentary “Narciso em Férias”, in which Caetano remembers his 54 days in the military dictatorship, the artist’s name ended up in the most commented topics on Twitter this Saturday (5).
On one of the accusations of the military that weighed against Caetano, that of ‘attacking the regime [militar] and exalt socialist systems, “Caetano commented in the film:” I am that person. It’s okay. Now he ‘exalts the socialist systems’, no. I never exalted. Not even when I was 15, or 17, or 23, or 34. I never got excited. I always hated it. “
Back in the interview, Caetano reviewed his own comment: “I found it funny that he listened to myself, this was recorded recently. And I say that I have never praised any socialist state at all, which is true. Today I usually respect them, at least. I changed about that. I’m less liberal than I was until two years ago ”.
The journalist asks if his change of position is not related to the ‘current situation’. Then he responds: “It could be, but it wasn’t that. It was a review of the history of liberalism, which attracted me much more before I found this review, which convinced me a lot ”.
“I had contact with these critics, with these readings of the history of liberalism through a young man from Pernambuco, named Jones Manoel. He quotes an Italian author named Domenico Losurdo, author of a counterhistory of liberalism, and has a book on modern views of the critique of liberalism. He’s very smart, ”he said next.
