        this notion that reality moves in slow increments is anti-dialectic

        that said, even if it wasn't - lula actively works to subvert and/or disarm any kind of growing far-left movement in the country, so his baby steps are actually getting in our way, not paving it for us

          And yet it was still important to oppose the coup. Wild how anti imperialism is mad complicated.

          That said, if there was a stronger left in Brazil, maybe he'd still be in office.

            to oppose what coup? if you mean the recent events, lula didn't do shit - like, seriously, he really didn't. the only people going out that day were the communists and anarchists, the shitlibs from the PT not only stayed home but they even tried to discourage us from leaving lmao

            the main current line of the PT is to basically "keep the peace, wait for the elections and win"

            the PT aren't even socdems at this point, they're just lame centrists, and some relevant members are actually right-wingers (rui costa, the governor of a large state here, is right-wing as fuck, could easily be a republican in the US)
