BRAZIL//Latin America General

Nope, with the corruption scandals, the economical crisis and the actual political scenario its impossible in the short and medium term and in the long term the structure of the (growing) services sector and the deindustrialization, make the things very hard for the left.

Pathetic.

If lula get arrested, he have big chance to win tbh.

Stop. Read Chico de Oliveira and Paulo Arantes. Drop the pseudo north-american sociology based on """psychology"".

Populism is not the same as Fascism. And it's funny because the Worker's Party went from "rejecting" anything related to Vargas to "upholding and defending" his """legacy""".

Daily reminder that Brizola organized a resistance movement against the '64 coup, on his state - giving arms, mobilizing soldiers and local battalions - while the Brazilian Communist Party fought the coup through "Democratic Struggles", rejecting any form of armed struggle, or direct resistance.

all hope is lost fam

please end our suffering

I miss both of them. We will never get them back. What a missed opportunity.

Tell me about the guy that just won the election in Ecuador.

His name is Lenin and he won on the same day Stalin became General secretary of the USSR

is AMLO /our guy/ ?

If fate wasn't a spook I'd say it was fate.

Welp, Chile is currently all about presidential elections and all the "left" candidates are succdem as fuck.

This Tuesday there was a student protest denouncing the neoliberal character of the educaction reform proposed by this (also succdem/left-lib) government. These have pretty much become rutinary since 2011. Just that day, the govt's reform proposal was rejected by the Education Committee of the Chamber of Deputies; if it is rejected by the Chamber itself as well, no proposal can be done again until 2018. That would probably be a victory for the student movement: 24horas.cl/nacional/sorpresa-por-rechazo-en-comision-a-idea-de-legislar-proyecto-de-reforma-de-educacion-superior-2353179

That's just student activism though; other than that the Chilean workers' movement is pretty much dead save for the odd isolated strike and shit.

khrushchevism ruined communism in brazil

/ourguy/ is a shitty Holla Forums meme, comr8

at least the maoists tried. they failed a bit, but they tried…

What is the Ecuador /Bolivia/Venezuela axis?

Also labor was strong in my country until maoists started killing proles.

...

thing is they chose to try and start a peasant movement in the countryside from scratch in an increasingly urbanized country, instead of joining the fight in the cities

they went full retard and got quashed for that

hi peru. Is support for shining path resurging there?
i've seen pro-gonzalo graffiti in my town (capital city of one of our agrarian states) and maoists here are all his fanboys

but they were peasant children killer scum and i sincerely hope their shit doesnt stick here

I'm not in Peru anymore but during the last elections the only somewhat lefty party in the race was slandered by having ties with sendero and the meme stuck (because social media is cancer). For the ruling class not killing Indians with polution is the equivalent of a Cultural Revolution I guess
