Caesar told Gulliver that his assassination was far more glorious and better for society than what he did while he was alive. Gulliver then spoke to Brutus, praising his virtue, love of his country, and benevolence. Swift evidently believed Brutus to be a much better man than Caesar, and was a true patriot, as it was better for the country to kill his friend.
