Bolsonaro supporters have been blocking major roads in Brazil in an attempt to fuel a coup attempt by the Brazilian military. Obviously the police forces aren't that willing to break up these blockades since they are fash themselves and think the protests are just. If the military is called upon, the same will happen. Fascists are getting emboldened and fascists in State institutions especially so, as they disobey orders while facing very little repercussions. Yet, the Worker's Party is blocking any attempt of a united leftist front mobilizing their political militancy to break up these blockades and face the fascists head on in the streets. This is probably the best opportunity to deal a mighty blow to Brazilian fascists and they are blowing it with republicanism and conciliation.

    Well hopefully its just cowering and not malicious refusal. Plus if they want to retain power at any level theyd have to know that's ridiculous and that a united front is essential. I hope something emerges because it'd actually be bizarre for a left wing electoral party to make the same mistake after not only Allende but the lessons of Chavez and Evo Morales. There would really be no excuse at this point especially considering Lula's relationship with Castro

      You'd think they would know better, and yet, look at them
