Lula is basically Brazilian Bernie, he's there to preserve the capitalist system.
He does at least have some policies to help poor people but he has been giving a lot of concessions to capital indeed. Not that it's easy to go against them considering we have the most right leaning congress ever, but he could at least try to get people on the streets in support of good policies and see what can be done but he hasn't done anything of the like.
I hope I can vote for him in the second round next election though because I really doubt there will be anyone even remotelly close to be as good as him. lol
The key part is that these policies are necessary to save the capitalist system from a crisis. This is the same logic that was applied by Roosevelt when he enacted The New Deal. It was either that or a worker uprising.
Yes. But at the same time is night and day the difference of what a right wing government and what one that at least cares at little about the people will do to destroy the country, as the last decade has shown anyone who lives in Brazil.
Sure, Lula's policies prevent the system from sliding into outright fascism.
