Re: [Marxism] Brazil - a left challenge to Rousseff
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == From a friend in Brazil: Marina Silva is just self-proclaimed leftist. She represents all the agendas of the right wing: she's from the most conservative church of Brazil (the same from where Feliciano came from, that racist and homophobic priest who assumed the human rights commission last year to represent the rights from the minorities that he despises), her economists are from Brazil's largest right-wing party, her campaign funding comes from the heir to the largest bank in Brazil, during the period she was environment minister her husband was prosecuted for illegal timber trade, she is in favor of creationism in schools, she is homophobic, she believes that the rights of minorities should be decided by popular vote (which makes no sense: the majority decides the rights of minorities?), it is against the legalization of marijuana, she argues that women trying to make abortions should be criminalized... in one word, she's definitely not a left-wing politician. I forgot to mention that her economic plan comes down to give full autonomy to the central bank.

But Marina says this is a discourse of the old left, and that she represents a new politics. Besides all that, she's an evangelical committed to the most backward groups and political positions related to gay marriage, homophobia, abortion, the teaching of creationism in schools, etc. Greetings from Brazil, Glauber Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
