My former classmates who graduated in economics with me and went into finance are all super excited about Joao Amoedo and NOVO, in no small part because Gustavo Franco is with him. I am not joking.

the weird thing is its not like lula was really that bad for the rich. he was ultimately pretty drat neoliberal. yet they cant even allow his relatively modest welfare programs for the poor to the point theyre willing to risk totally delegitimizing everything and leaving the people no choice but violence, riots, revolution. how loving stupid.

Top City Homo posted:brazil will finally melt down we went through worse tbqf there has been a lot of "this is it, poo poo is going down" moments in Brazilian history but a lot of what makes poo poo bad is also what makes poo poo stable there is a fantastic book I read back at econ uni called "A Ordem do Progresso" (The Order of Progress, a play with the national motto) which is all about how Brazilian society is all about very incremental but always continuous change instead of revolutionary action, which guarantees that poo poo sucks at present but makes the future a little better naturally I have some disagreements about that but for example it allows that some sudden societal changes like LGBT rights get traction a lot faster than in other places, at the cost of glossing over associated class problems with that (i.e. those advancements come first to rich brazilians, then the middle class then the periphery of society) another example of "turning point moments" was the end of the monarchy, it wasn't some massive showdown, basically the army in Rio de Janeiro went around and said "OK we now have a president" and only rich people cared, the masses were "so uh what do we get, things seem business as usual", and it took 20 years to some places like in the deep hinterlands to tell people that we didn't have an emperor anymore, and when the news showed up, they just shrugged

The British political tradition is so bland they think getting a monarch from a different inbred bloodline was a "Glorious Revolution"

and history is repeating itself, as the unfixed structural problems of the past few years are leading to a likely victory by a junta apologist. i read an article saying that lula's probable ejection won't help bolsonaro out, but i kinda doubt that
