The Vargas regime, similar to the Romanians and the Franco regime, also tried to co-opt fascist policies, symbols, etc. as fascism was rapidly gaining in popularity during the 1920s-30s. Vargas also tried to break down ethnic enclaves, effectively helping along this miscegenation and dysgenics whether or not that was his intent.
Argentina declined under similarly race-blind Peronismo. In Argentina's case, they imported the nons into a majority White country, prefiguring today's immigration stupidity. Brazil, by contrast, was always substantially non-white: the Europeans largely only conquered parts of the coastline, their mixed descendants were the ones who actually did most of the inwards expansion. Brazil thus never really had a chance to succeed like Argentina once did (e.g. wealthier per capita than the United States) before it became inundated with nons from neighbouring countries. Nevertheless, bad ideas, leaders, and decisions made Brazil decline faster than it otherwise might have.
Brazil's last chance was probably with the ARENA military government (1964-1985). Gangsterism already seemed to be on the rise in the 1970s, the drug problems (esp. with cocaine) rapidly rose in the 1980s, and most of the major cartels (PCC, CV, etc.) were already founded by the mid-1990s at the very latest. Given that the Bolsonaro administration was unable to make any real inroads in moving Brazil away from that way of life (and the current idiot in charge is practically idolized by many criminals), I think that Brazil is simply condemned to sink to Haitian levels of dysfunction, indeed, in some senses worse, such as that it is already noticeably more homosexual, transsexual, and drug-addicted than Haiti, even if it is at present also averagely wealthier and less violent.
The ironic reality is that virtually none of them *actually* had this. Even hitler, by the standards of the 1930s and 40s, was one of the least racial politicians around in his day. The US and UK pursued a far more racial policy than hitler could have ever dreamed of. While hitler was out pursuing alliances with blacks, arabs, asians, and indians, churchill was busy exterminating the population of india (rare churchill w). Even Stalin, the leader of the grand beacon of worldwide tolerance, was probably more racist than hitler, stalin *actually* killed off ethnic minorities. Hitler didnt, as we know. The only thing hitler advocated was the german race living in germany. He didn't view anyone as subhuman, this is a giant and very enduring lie. To be entirely fair, the bizarre fascistic Latin American partied actually followed european fascism quite to the letter, just in a very odd, and also strangely more racist way. They believed in their race, they believed that their race should live and be predominant where they were, and it just so happens that they are mostly mestizo/pardo. So they believed that everyone else should be absorbed into the mestizo/pardo race, as the others were outliers that were not part of the majority.
The reason that Brazil is unique in comparison to, say, the american southeast, despite being settled in nearly identical ways for nearly identical reasons and with nearly identical racial demographics (this is still probably the best analogy I can give. There are legitimately a notable amount of similarities) is because Portugal effectively designed Brazil to fail without the existence of Portugal, whereas the American south achieved independence from Britain before this arrangement could have (disastrous) consequences for it. Of course the south had its own issues with the union, which is well known, but even with that it still had a much larger presence and much greater degree of autonomy than it did under Britain. Under Britain, the south had almost nothing worthwhile if you don't include Virginia and it was just a an endless money printer for the crown. The only city that anyone gave a fuck about was Charleston. Like how the only cities anyone ever cared about in Brazil were Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
This was also how Brazil functioned, but on a larger scale, and it did not achieve any sort of independence until 1822. It was not fully independent until 1889 (it was still headed by a portuguese king). Brazil was simply set up to not function without metropolitan Portugal, it was exclusively a money making venture for the portuguese. When it threw off portuguese institutions completely in 1889, they were already so entrenched that the country basically threw off every lifeline that existed within it. Which led to rampant corruption and gangsterism almost as a necessity. In comparison to spanish america, which could at least *exist* without spain and even grow pretty powerful (Mexico was quite a force when it was first independent), Brazil just couldn't do it. Everything was connected to Portugal by design. When Portugal and everything portuguese were gone, it just imploded on itself. And Brazil achieved independence at an inconvenient time, because almost everyone around them already was and had already grown further than Brazil could compete. Brazil also speaks portuguese, which creates a networking issue when all of its neighbors speak Spanish. It really could have still had quite the showing even though the population was half pardo/half white. White people are good at that. We made up a tiny percentage of south Africa and Zimbabwe but made them comparable to the west. However, Brazil became independent at a terrible time and its independence was predicated on shattering the bonds that Portugal had it under that were unfortunately entirely necessary for the state to function at all. Hell, Brazil didn't even become independent (as a part of portugal, not the monarchy of portugal) because they *wanted* to but rather just because of internal portuguese political issues and the portuguese prince declaring himself the emperor of Brazil.
