Como um grupo de desajustados derrubou a Presidente
by Kim Kataguiri, Renan Santos
Political Science
O processo de constituição do movimento político que ajudou a articular o impeachment de Dilma Rousseff com a ajuda das redes sociais e de forças políticas. Goste-se ou não da mobilização que derrubou a presidente Dilma Rousseff por meio do impeachment em 2015, trata-se de um fato: o MBL — grupo composto por jovens até então à margem do establishment — foi agente transformador do panorama político brasileiro a partir da brecha aberta pelas manifestações de 2013; e do debate público nacional nunca mais se ausentou, criando mesmo, com base na cultura das redes sociais, uma nova modalidade de linguagem política. Nestas páginas, enquanto contam, com muito humor, as histórias da luta política e narram a forma desplanejada, não raro casual, como os membros do movimento — cada um vindo de um lado e com formações diversas — afinal se reuniram, Kim Kataguiri e Renan Santos enfrentam e expõem, sem desvios, as dores e as delícias do amadurecimento. É uma obra de revisão crítica das origens do MBL e da opção pelo caminho que levaria muitos de seus membros a disputar eleições e ingressar no sistema.

Bridges summary
The political landscape of Brazil, particularly the seismic events surrounding the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, is a fertile ground for exploring the dynamics of influence, ideological dissemination, and the unexpected convergence of disparate forces. Within this context, *Como um grupo de desajustados derrubou a Presidente*, authored by Kim Kataguiri and Renan Santos, offers a compelling insider's account of the MBL's rise and its pivotal role in orchestrating a national movement. While the book vividly details the practical, often improvisational, journey of a group of young individuals who mobilized through social media and political alliances to achieve a significant political outcome, it implicitly resonates with deeper theoretical explorations of power and societal transformation. This inherent connection becomes particularly evident when considering the intellectual currents that analyze how movements gain traction and exert influence, a theme that finds a powerful echo in works like *Bioleninism* by Spandrell.
The bridge between *Como um grupo de desajustados derrubou a Presidente* and the conceptual framework of *Bioleninism* lies in their shared, albeit distinct, examination of the architectures of power and systemic change. Kataguiri and Santos chronicle the messy, organic, and often humorous formation of the MBL, a group that began on the margins but became a transformative force. Their narrative emphasizes the unconventional recruitment, the diverse backgrounds of its members, and the emergent strategies that capitalized on the nascent power of social media. This is a story about how influence can be cultivated and wielded by those outside the traditional establishment, demonstrating a real-world application of disruptive political action. In contrast, *Bioleninism*, as implicitly understood in this comparative context, delves into the theoretical underpinnings of how ideologies propagate and societies are shaped, exploring the mechanisms by which ideas can saturate and redirect collective consciousness. While *Como um grupo de desajustados derrubou a Presidente* showcases the "how" of a specific political upheaval—the agile disruption of established norms and the strategic leverage of public opinion—*Bioleninism* offers a conceptual lens on the underlying principles of ideological expansion and control that can facilitate such shifts.
