This chapter employs the concept of “internalization” from the sociology of religion to offer a reinterpretation of the relationship between politics and religion in Brazil. The chapter argues that the left and right are mirror images of each other in their theological expressions. The text traces the emergence of Liberation Theology (LT) as the “internalized Catholicism of protest” during the era of modernization, offering a theological framework that gives form to the class struggle. The collapse of this modernization project and the concomitant rise of social disintegration have given rise to a novel internalization process. In this contemporary moment, Bolsonaroism has emerged as a manifestation of the prevailing zeitgeist. It can be conceptualized as a reactionary response from the political right, characterized by an apocalyptic worldview that serves as a means of navigating the prevailing crisis. The chapter culminates by underscoring a significant inversion: the self-proclaimed progressives, who initially espoused revolutionary ideals, have transformed into proponents of a deteriorating social order. In contrast, the conservatives, responding to the perceived “catastrophic dissolution of urban society,” have metamorphosed into the new revolutionaries, exemplifying a “real deconstruction of post-collapse social life.”
