>The March of the Family with God for Liberty (Portuguese: Marcha da Família com Deus pela Liberdade) was a series of public demonstrations in Brazil. The first march was held in São Paulo on March 19, 1964 to coincide with St Joseph's Day — the patron saint of the family — and attracted an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 attendees.
>The march was sparked by a speech by then President João Goulart in Rio de Janeiro on March 13 where he called for political reforms including rent control, wealth tax, expropriation of land within a ten-kilometer stretch of roads, railroads and dams, the nationalization of oil refineries, among other reforms. In the context of the Cold War and the polarization between the United States and the Soviet Union, these ideas were seen as a step towards the implementation of a socialist dictatorship that prompted Catholic women (specifically the group Campanha da Mulher pela Democracia (CAMDE), the Women's Campaign for Democracy) to organize the march at Praça da Sé in São Paulo, and parallel marches elsewhere. The marchers demanded Goulart's impeachment and expressed strong opposition to his reformist agenda. The march was a precursor to the Brazilian coup d'état, and seen as a declaration of support for a coup against Goulart.
In the next day, there were something like a hundred demonstrations scattered around the country. The numbers are estimated to be 1 million in the first demonstration and some other millions across the country in the following days. That was one of the biggest protests our country ever had (proportionally to the population we had in 64 maybe in last year's Bolsonaro election we had a bigger value). We demanded a reactionary intervention in defense of Christ and against Communism.
Our MSM to this day downplays the numbers and importance of the event because the "evil Dictatorship" (our military regimen) and their "censorhip" (which is nothing compared to the progressist and pro-establishment censorship we suffer today). Our MSM have always been social-democrat, with lots of literal commie terrorists in it. We have commie terrorist as journalists and editors. No exaggeration here. Most of them have inspiration in Leon Trotsky. They have been slowly rewriting about the events before our military got in power to demean them.
Anyway, that was just Brazil when we felt threatened by commies. Other countries had it worse in the hands of revolutionaries, with thousands of Christians being martyred.
