as people go to voting stations, the federal police is locking up roads and bridges and not letting buses in - we all know who actually takes buses, workers, who vote for lula
in some places even the army is helping, which is, to say the least, highly irregular, if not outright illegal
they're saying they're investigating attempts of vote buying, which is obviously a ridiculous excuse to disrupt the process
guess we're heading into the cool zone over here
The lesson from Bolivia is that if you want to elect a leftist leader in free and fair elections, you need a militant organised working class to force the state to let you do it.
Are there any forces in Brazil who will be able to fight back against the coup?
arm 👏 the 👏 workers 👏
hell no the PT libs made sure there weren't
:doomjak:
I think a strike wave in Brazil is at least as likely as Columbia or Bolivia. I don't know how successful it will be relative to those smaller countries
