ive been telling you so. lula is equivalent to biden at best, just letting the pigs run rampant and taking the moral high ground for not helping them out.
i dont think we could call him "left wing" for a while now. he hasnt been leftist for the better part of a couple of decades. he does pay some awesome lip service when he is inclined to.
Yea I think he got a lot of goodwill bc his opposition was fucking bolsonaro, but I mean his admin has had some not great interactions with indigenous people in the Amazon and tons of other things of that sort, like this thing with Venezuela.
Another example of “I wish this lib was as cool as right wingers make them out to be” bc all the Brazilian gusanos that my mil was friends with think he’s basically Stalin
I think a lot of Lula is the second coming of Stalin is basically the politically impoverished US media brain rotting sip back into the periphery.
Lula is not an extremist he is probably closer to a 60s soc dem politicians. The re-distributive policies that his party did managed to increase a middle-class, but the political education was not put in focus within the population. The same middle class that was created would eventually breed his opposition support.

I think Lula openly said he was inspired by FDR, China and the Eastern European Bloc (which he visited during the 1980's). So Lula is basically a socdem with good foreign policy most of the time, as long as it doesn't interfer with Lula or his party's internal political ambitions. Maduro is not a radical/extremist either, he pretty much is a moderate inside the Chavista movement, he knows how to be pragmatic, which is why some leftist are critical of him.

True, but the middle class always hated him tbh. They only voted for him because they couldn't stand Bolsonaro (2022) or FHC (2002) anymore.
i mean he was part of the pink wave, so theres that. i think the biggest problem is that he already extracted all the concessions he possibly could out of the ruling class and all thats left is watching they take it all back because he essentialy demobilized the budding leftists movements we had.
