The position of the PT definitely is no surprise. Back in 1992 (I think that was the year), the US Library of Congress country study on Brazil identified Lula as the leader of the "right" "moderates" of the PT. It jusn't seem clear from the article that the PT delegate was speaking against the very notion of the 5th Intl rather than just its "ideological" orientation. Thanks for the clarification. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stuart Munckton" <stuartmunck...@gmail.com> I am not sure it shoudl any surprise that a representative pof the Workers Party from Brazil is not infavour of sociism and not in favour of a new international organisation based on advancing the international struggle for socialism. For this reason, the PT rep did not support Chavez's call. The Brazilian delegate was arguing *against* a new international, and in favour of simply continuing with existing groups like the Sao Paulo Forum — ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
