This article examines anticommunist formulations in the “agendas” through which Brazilian military commanders conduct annual celebrations of two victories by the armed forces: in 1935, against the so-called “Intentona Comunista” (Communist Conspiracy); and in 1964, in the coup that overthrew the constitutional government of João Goulart. In these discourses, we seek elements that allow a characterization of military anticommunism as a political culture that guided the behavior of military institutions in Brazil throughout the twentieth century
