when it comes to africa for example i was taught that they're poor cause their land isn't harvestable or some bullshit like that, and then i find out as an adult it's actually cause western countries fucked the shit out of them and huh that makes a lot more sense
i'm still like that with evo/chávez, and even correa to a lesser extent, but i've grown so disillusioned with lula and his party that i don't really care anymore :(
after realizing how conservative his government was (and even reactionary in some aspects - he sanctioned a crime bill that was similar to that of the democrats from the 90s, or at least had similar consequences, literally doubling the amount of people in jail in ~10 years), i'm kinda just... whatever
We too don't have a good/relevant real left.
btw, !latam@hexbear.net
oh god in the first page there's already someone getting overexcited because lula mentioned marx
being a leftist feels like painfully spinning in an eternal vortex of struggle sessions
alright i've joined the sub
We have all been libs at some point. Be patient.
indeed
