Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lula is the second coming of Stalin

sicko-wistful

Lula is not an extremist he is probably closer to a 60s soc dem politicians.

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.

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.

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.
