Alberto Torres
Alberto Torres (Itaboraí, RJ, 1865–1917) was a politician and a Brazilian social thinker who was concerned about national unity and the organization of the Brazilian society.
In his work, he opposed the ideas of socialism and individualism as incompatible to the Brazilian reality and believes they are responsible for the society's disintegration. In his understanding, it was necessary to objectively understand the Brazilian society in order to know its needs and then present pragmatic changes to it.
To do so, it would be necessary to have a strong state leading these changes.
His ideas were very much in use during Brazilian Revolution of 1930 and the 1964 Brazil coup d'état.
