I get his (mild) attacks on Bolsonaro make him look better, but he’s not done any actual fucking reforms. At all. All he did during his first government was create some means tested welfare programs and keep public funding going, all while not combatting the bourgeoisie’s interests. Which in turn, left ample time for fascism to grow, he even funded some of the exponents of it like Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (evangelical cult that is much like US prosperity gospel). Not to mention shooting incarceration rates sky high by kicking off the war on drugs by law in 2006 and invading Haiti on behalf of the UN in 2004

His ministries are all commanded by neolibs, and even far right União Brasil in communications and tourism.

His main deed as of this year has been pushing new fiscal policy for the government which will deepen the already horrible one that was put in by Temer. It even has penalties for “overspending” like forbidding the government from creating new public jobs and such!

Fucking interest in loans is the actual highest in the world at 13.25%! (~9% per year accounting for inflation)

Just because a government doesn’t outright support the public sanctions on Cuba, China and the DPRK it doesn’t make it a fucking ally, hell, many European countries do the same and I don’t see y’all praising it.

Lula is not moving Brazil any, and I mean any, closer to liberation. This job is up for the communists, nominally the Brazilian Communist Party (which is at the moment undergoing a split due to a complacent and persecutory petit-bourgeois central committee that doesn’t want to oppose Lula but that’s beside the point)

Every time I see Lula praise here one of my neurons explodes with anger

Edit FYI: I am actually organized in the youth of the Brazilian Communist Party. If y’all want any more info just ask (ofc nothing confidential)

    So what you’re saying is it’s either slow burn neoliberalism (which will only make fascism grow) or fast neoliberalism (+fascism) got ya

    We build an alternative from the proletariat for the proletariat on the daily, not in fucking elections. We are communists, our goal is revolution!

    Jesus fuck y’all. This is supposed to be a Communist board not social-liberal/socDem central.

        Mate I’m in the fucking Brazilian Communist Party, fuck orf

        MST is NOT revolutionary at all, at least not since like two decades ago. They do good work but they’re not a revolutionary org and remain glued to Lula’s neoliberal ass

        I never at all in this thread proposed immediate protracted people’s war, and I obviously don’t.

        I support organizing the workers and raising their class consciousness so when the time comes they take up arms

        Fuck you

        try to convince the other 50 percent Brazilians who voted for Bolsenaro

        Bolsonaro was not voted by “the other 50% of the the Brazilians” he received almost 50% of the valid votes, what is not the same thing. In fact, just 30% Brazilians actually voted in he.

        or do you think you can come to power by Gonzalo methods

        Perhaps not the “Gonzalo methods” but the LENIN methods. And the “Gonzalo methods” were able to control 40% of the Peru territory, so… Yeah, still better than wait for Bernies of all the world to resolve our problems instead of ourselves.

        ==== but what we know, of course some gringo know more about our country, after all it is recommending that we enter a organisation who has a stock market investment portfolio, which is of course revolutionary
