This seems like a good thing but I'm not well educated in this area. Are there any Brazilians here, or people who know a lot about Brazilian politics that can tell me if this will benefit the people of Brazil, or if this is a "both sides kinda suck and will submit to the ruling class eventually" kind of deal like we see with western countries? I am kind of skeptical of electoralism after being burned so many times in my own country, but maybe Brazil is different?

Hi. I second the other reply. Also, while I am a communist apprentice, I believe in Breno Altman, a brilliant Marxist-Leninist journalist. He is a Jew from a traditional anti-Zionist family. Two great-aunts volunteered to take arms against the Nazis. Both were martyred. His grandfather was so shocked by Khrushchev's treasonous speech that he lost his sanity and took his life. Breno Altman is very highly knowledgeable and competent. His is committed to Marxism and existing socialism. He has interviewed President Miguel Díaz-Canel and was about to interview President Maduro when he was kidnapped.

He frequently and fiercely denounces Zionism. He wrote a book on it. He interviewed Hamas leaders. He gave an eulogy (here in Brazil) for comrade Ali Khamenei. He is under severe attack by the Zionist lobby and got a criminal conviction which would put him in prison. It was overturned.

Enough praise. Altman says that political power is important to accumulate forces. He criticizes the neoliberal aspects of Lula government but gives critical support.
