Defense Minister José Múcio Monteiro stated that Brazil would not be able to mount a military defense against the United States in the event of an invasion, and joked about the possibility by saying he would “open the gate.”
Múcio should have been fired Feb 2023 (1 month into the curent mandate), he’s still there. He is a clear representative of the most reactionary wings of the military
Democratic Socialists can have genuinely good intent, the problem is intent doesn’t matter when you’re staring down the end of a barrel.
(feel free to quote me on this)
Political power grows out of a barrel of a gun.
Do democratic socialism but also have guns like Chavez. Even Evo and Lula have figured this out by now.
At this point, I’m convinced that if you’re a LatAm country, give up on the idea of a full fledged revolution as long as the US is around.
Now its survival. They gotta outlast the US. Once the US is done, that’s when socialist movements will flourish, especially in Asia.
Sooner or later, they will in LatAm as well. Democratic socialism to hold the line, Marxism Leninism to push forward
Lula definetly hasn’t figured that out, I wish.
