He joined with Monsaraz, António Sardinha, João do Amaral and José Adriano Pequito Rebelo in relaunching the monarchist journal A Nação Portuguesa in 1913. His influence faded following the emergence of António de Oliveira Salazar and his final attempt to push the integralist line, by launching a journal entitled o Lusitano with Luís de Almeida Braga in 1932 was not a success.
In the early 1920s Raposo also became close to a minor group known as Cruzada Non"Alvares, which was the first group in Portugal to openly endorse Benito Mussolini and Italian fascism. Like others in the Integralist movement Raposo also keenly watched the development Movimento Nacional-Sindicalista but, although he personally had some sympathies towards the cause of national syndicalism, he did not follow the likes of Monsaraz in switching to the new movement. However despite his flirtations with fascism Raposo, unlike Sardinha, had no truck with the racialist theories associated with Nazism and similar ideologies and indeed considered the Black African populations of colonies such as Portuguese Angola and Portuguese Mozambique to be as much Portuguese as himself.
