I mean, in terms of domestic policy, even the average centrist democrat in the US is more radical than PT. PT's program has very little in terms of making the tax code more progressive, for example. The only area where PT is substantially to the left of the American establishment is in foreign policy (which explains why Obama was at best complicit with the 2016 coup). But domestically, what sets PT apart from the rest is that PT is in favor of some additional social spending at the margins and the expansion of labor rights. Which explains why, in the minds of the Brazilian middle class and above, not being able to have a maid work 12 hours on sunday for the same salary for years is a sign of cultural marxism.

It's been refreshing to see opposition against him flare up and get momentum. I went to an Alceu Valença show this saturday and there was a big rear end protest after where they changed Lula Livre and Ele (Bolsonaro) Não

i mean if Lula was allowed to run he would be a big favorite to win so it doesn't seem that bad of an idea it's how Dilma won twice

Larry Parrish posted:Consensus is a liberal brian virus. There has never been and never will be complete consensus on anything. There is only the seizure, protection, and execution of power. you mean the demand for absolute consensus. consensus is the end product of democracy, demanding absolute consensus is the tactic to deny consensus. much like the principle that our leaders ought be the most righteous and compassionate of those they lead, yet libs constantly accuse socialist leaders of moral offenses on a regular basis as an excuse to deny giving power of the leaders of the working classes. consensus is the prequisite of socialist power, the better we can establish consensus, more power the socialist movement can hold. which is the main reason I believe neural interfaces will not only allow an entirely new kind of socialist movement to arise, but that without the technological telepathy enabled by them, communism cannot be established

Metal Cat posted:I keep remembering that Vox article about an "epistemic crisis", and that stuff is scary because it affects societies in a completely worldwide scale. How the gently caress can you have a healthy democracy when bolsominions genuinely believe that a magazine was paid R$600 million to do a hit piece on Bolsonaro? And you can see how that mutates in real time, the talking points magically evolve to "no, it was distributed to all mainstream media outlets" and "well, this would be paid over a period of 4 years by the Establishment". what's really eerie is reading about la violencia in colombia in the 1950s and the parallels to today.

extremely cool that every PT candidate gets the targeted defamation campaign refocused on them when they become popular. speaking of, is Gleisi popular? I see her in a bunch of videos the PT posts on twitter but I feel like I never see her mentioned in the news.

In line to vote at my Brazilian consulate . Never seen a line this long, I'd say 80% bozo voters. They are openly campaigning for him here, and the Globo people covering this are joining them, asking for pictures and all that.
