Sociologist, historian, jurist, and minister are just a few qualifications that demonstrate the versatility of Francisco José Oliveira Vianna (1883-1951). Occasionally labeled as conservative, he was a staunch advocate for social rights in Brazil. It was in this realm that he engaged in controversy with Valdemar Ferreira regarding the alleged fascist influence on Brazil's Labor Court, in which Vianna played a role in its establishment. A close reading of Vianna's texts on the subject suggests that he was more concerned with the specificities of Brazil than advocating for the importation of ideas and institutions from Mussolini's regime. Additionally, we present a chronology spanning from the initial accusations of fascist inspiration (1929-1930) through criticisms the Labor Code received from 1943 to the Bolsonaro government. Our objective is to highlight, through primary sources, the foundations of Vianna's social thought, asserting that it withstands persistent attempts to discredit him and, by extension, the Labor Code itself.
