SUMMARY:

From 1958, the Brazilian Communist Party, adopted a political line that privileged the peaceful way to carry out the Brazilian revolution. This orientation recognized the inevitable development of capitalism in Brazil and that socio-historical processes favored the deepening of democracy in the country, so it indicated the institutional and legal means as favorable spaces for the development of the struggles of urban and rural workers against the latifundium and the imperialism which, in the party's view, would be hampering the country's development. This tactic will also indicate the struggle for structural reforms, participation in the electoral dispute, and the policy of alliances with the most varied nationalist sectors, as means to precipitate the bourgeois-democratic revolution. The democratic political line was responsible, in the following decade, for making the party emerge from underground, transforming it into one of the most important political actors in the country, even influencing the State's guidelines. However, the military coup, in April 1964, was considered, with the exception of the Central Committee of the PCB, by the entire Brazilian left as the failure of the pacific way, however most of the party leadership decided to keep the elaborated strategy safe. in the V Congress, held in 1960. This research seeks to understand how the democratic political line was translated to the university bases of the party, between the years 1964-1966. In the moments before the military coup, in the university movement, this orientation meant the formation of a broad alliance that included Catholics, socialists, the so-called independents, pecebists, among other progressive and nationalist sectors of the student movement, hegemonizing the boards of the National Union of Students. and of other student entities, as well as the political direction of the movement, from 1958 to 1964. The historiography of the student movement presents a gap with regard to the study of the party's tactics for the university movement in the moment immediately after the coup, this gap historiography that the present research seeks to fill. Therefore, the theoretical model that supports this analysis is based on studies on the relationship between party and class applied to the student movement, established by João Roberto Martins Filho (1987). The methodology, following the guidelines of an interdisciplinary research, presents a qualitative approach using bibliographic research on communist political parties, in the works of Duverger (1970), Gorender (1987), Pandolfi (1995); about the Military Regime, such as Fico (2019), Júnior (2017) and Alves (1987); and, from the student movements in the research period, through research by Albuquerque (1977), Filho (1987), Groppo (2007) and Sanfelice (2019) and having as data collection object the newspapers and official documents of the PCB such as, for example, the newspapers “Novos Rumos” and “Voz Operária”; internal organizational documents, such as the “Resolutions”, “Statutes” and “Circulars”, etc., found in private and public archives, such as the “Nelson Rosas Documentary Fund” and the “National Library Digital". From this analysis, we found that after the military coup, the party sought to preserve democratic legality through the student bases, indicating the maintenance of the policy of alliances after the coup, even with the interventions placed in the student entities by the military and in the participation of the elections promoted by the military. Lei Suplicy, based on the structure created by the military government, with the objective of demobilizing the university movement and isolating the left from its leadership, as a support for the reconstruction of a student movement similar to what it was in the period before the victory of the military. Seeking to raise the awareness of university students to integrate them into a mass struggle against the military dictatorship, that tactic foresaw the use of the most ordinary aspects of student life as a way of denouncing the government's educational policy.
