As an active anarchist militant, he maintained critical of the Estado Novo of Getúlio Vargas and the military dictatorship in Brazil.

He worked for the newspaper O Globo, between 1954 and 1964, when he was forced to leave by the military dictatorship. He actively participated in academic and student circles, advising on the history of Brazilian social movements and libertarian pedagogy. He participated in anarchist congresses in Brazil and abroad. In recent years, he worked as editor of the magazine Libertárias. He died at the age of 71, a victim of health problems.
