Abstract
In this essay I return to narratives about the popular uprisings of June 2013 in Brazil, considering that these discourses are still directly and indirectly present in the ways in which we understand our current reality, above all the ascension of the rightwing and our possible resistance to the growing and multiple fascist elements in our society today. I analyze certain current positions related to punitive and conservative reactions to the popular protests, which end up concluding that the uprisings generated “an even greater evil.” I bring to light some premises hidden in these statements which, by operating from points of view that are both historical and philosophical, not only compromise our past, but also mortgage our future.
