The reasons so many liberals like Lula is because he’s safe enough to the social democrats in Europe and the West. Also because Brazil’s right-wing congress is going to be opposing him at every turn. People shouldn’t place their ideals on Lula. Though he started more radically, he’s not a revolutionary and never was to begin with. But in LATAM the choice is between that and a paramilitary fascism. If you don’t understand this and that it is not the United States your analysis is moot. It’s not Trump vs Biden here, so don’t look at it that way. A Lula victory didn’t erase his bad policies on Haiti or Venezuela but it does put a damper on the Donroe Doctrine of Epstein takeover of Latin America, full of Zionism and total Milei-style destruction. Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America. The aim was to hand it to Bolsonaro so the Epstein regime could reign in totality. For now, that’s not going to be the case. It doesn’t erase Lula’s failures but it does hold off a complete take over. What many Western leftists don’t grasp is that in countries like Brazil, where some people don’t have power, water access, roads and basic needs met, sometimes the ideals of many who live in the west fall flat, especially the ones in the US. We can’t even elect milquetoast candidates like Lula and then lecture Brazilians about politics and judge Venezuela so harshly. We all see what’s happening in Latin America. But please go live there for a week, without luxuries and tell me how your ideas do when you’re constantly under interventions, sanctions, impoverished, and dealing with not having enough food or water. Until western leftists realize their ideals don’t measure up to realities people face, they’re never going to get people on their side. Liberalism isn’t the answer, it’s the opening to fascism. But there needs to be a strong anti imperial core that is compassionate and understanding of where people are—and that’s lacking. The average person cares about their jobs, children and food on the table, not about historical references to revolutions that have little to do with their material conditions. This doesn’t mean you don’t work toward that via education and conversation. But people need to be ready. If they’re not all the effort in the world won’t change their mind. It’s especially obnoxious to be lectured by western leftists who have never endured many of the hardships these people face every day and parachute on social media with arrogant analysis of how this win isn’t such a big deal. It is for those who depend on social programs, for those who want sovereignty and food on the table. If you want to erase capitalism start by understanding you can’t do it electorally when the world runs on it including supposed communist countries. Let’s be for real here.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇧🇷 Elon Musk says Brazil's presidential election results are "pretty weird."

BREAKING: Trump administration officials are 'expressing fears that Iran is in the advanced stages' of planning attacks against American officials, according to New York Times report.

Toutes mes félicitations @LulaOficial pour ta réélection. La France et le Brésil ont beaucoup à construire ensemble. Face aux grands défis de notre temps, renforçons notre partenariat stratégique et faisons vivre l’amitié entre nos deux pays au service d’un monde plus juste.

i’m sorry but you will not convince me that the government is truly preparing for imminent war and they’re putting wes streeting in charge of our defence.

Andy Burnham will eventually congratulate Lula for his stunning victory in Brazil’s Presidential election keeping out the fascists

ושיהיה ברור - אני מאוד לא מרוצה מהנצחון של לולה. אני תמיד בעד המועמד הפרו-ישראלי, זה הקריטריון הכי חשוב. אבל היום, להיות מקורב של נתניהו זה נזק פוליטי בכל העולם. גם בישראל.

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

Far-right extremism is on the run here in America. And throughout the world.
