I was going to make a joke, but the similar words Alvim used aren't really the point. He used similar words because he has similar ideas and goals for art in Brazil: using it to push government propaganda of what is 'good and right'. And he has similar ideas of what is good and right, too - similar to the Nazis. That's not funny at all.

I wouldn't go as far as saying “government propaganda”.....just, perhaps his own personal view, presuming he was aware of the origin of what he said - or, just an ignoramus fed the bs by a subordinate (just as stupid, or) who wanted to see him screwed....either way, a bloody fool, who should have realized / suspected that no one normal would use such 'radical and pompous' rhetoric.
IF it were official goverment propaganda, he would not have been sacked immediately after.
But I'll agree that B should have been more thorough when checking his CV.
