Punk music reintroduced anarchist theory to Brazil in the 1990s

Evidence

There had always been a vague association with anarchism in the Brazilian punk scene, remembers Frederico Freitas, singer in the straight-edge, Third Worldist vegan hardcore band Point of No Return. But this second wave was more likely to actually start reading about the stuff, collecting books by nineteenth-century thinkers like Proudhon, Kropotkin, and Bakunin. Punk music was left-wing and anti-nationalist in Brazil, and it played a major role in bringing anarchism back in the country. — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 128
