“During the first decade of this century, Brazil appeared to be a country that was finally reaching for the future. Now it seems mired in the past. The violence of this election has plunged Brazilians into a kind of collective convulsion.”

I make no such equivalence. No idea where you got that. On the contrary. My point is the opposite if you read carefully what I wrote: despite very valid criticism of PT, the alternative is much worst. I’ll be voting 13, despite all my criticism.

Ok. What you wrote - in your widely circulated by-the-right column and in this FB post - is clear. What you meant might be a different story. But what you wrote is clear. Glad though to know you’ll be voting Haddad.

as a friend of mine said: "A lógica de 2018 é : quero um governo ao qual eu possa me opor sem morrer"

Turns out then maybe the PT is not the repository of all the world’s evils. And suggesting as much turns out to have been a very bad take, especially in the context of Brazil where, as JMB proves, the specter of actual fascism is never too far from the surface.

I NEVER wrote "the PT is not the repository of all the world’s evils" but I refute the equally wrong take that the pt bears no responsibility over the mess we are in. that's where I'm coming from. That's not false equivalence, that's trying to understand the historical process

Which brings us back to: https://medium.com/@bernajurema/4-things-the-international-left-gets-wrong-about-brazils-political-crisis-9de8c02604bf … Again what you meant might be different; what you wrote us clear. Somehow Greenwald seemed to have a better grasp of historical process, which in Brazil means in part recognizing how present fascism remains always already a threat.
