A lot of leftists have the same problems as liberals with the "we go high when they go low" mentality that only ML's seem to understand is a waste of time.
this is pretty much it, yeah. Lula has the same blind admiration for liberal democracy and its procedures that the Democrat party in the US has. the thing he doesn't seem to understand is that when push comes to shove, the bourgeoisie sees him as an enemy because he wants the Brazilian people to live with a shred of dignity. i really, really hope that the Worker's Party radicalizes and mobilizes the people to support the government, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
I'm just impressed he won. Was sort of expecting Bolso to win with how fanatic Brazilians have been. Also impressed that the Brazilian Communist Party had the numbers that it did. Let's hope the left can mobilize against the Evangelical menace.
the Brazilian radical left has had an incredible resurgence from 2018 to now. ironically, Bolsonaro put communism in public discourse again. the situation in Brazil is dire, but I truly do believe that the Brazilian people have revolutionary potential right now. if we are able to defeat fascism ideologically (if there's an outright confrontation they will win with the backing of the military) things will look really, really good. people already distrust liberal democracy and are tired of living in poverty, we just need to show them an alternative where they become the masters of their own destiny.
