The following article uses historical research to examine decisions made by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (SFC) specifically mentioning the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, or Marxism, in the period of the country’s civilian-military-corporate dictatorship (1964-1985). Analyzing the thoughts and actions of the dictatorship’s legal advocates in the SFC facilitates an understanding of the ideological foundations provided by part of the legal literature still used nowadays in legal teaching and practice. Historically updated by the current conservative movement, the rejection of progressive theories in the sphere of law is an echo from the dictatorship period, in which they were widely censured and criminalized. Methodologically, the research is qualitative in nature, with a historical-theoretical profile, harnessing an interdisciplinary approach undertaken by means of inductive-deductive reasoning based on an approach to micro-history. The main source researched consists of the database containing the rulings from the jurisprudential archive available from the SFC’s website.Downloads
