The very first thing that Lula is doing after winning the election (other than having his federal police force fire investigators who are discovering crimes of his judicial allies like Moraes) is imposing massive cuts of tens of billions to education and health care programs: the exact opposite of the central promise of his fraudulently populist campaign. Even some of his left-wing fans in Congress are enraged (even though Lula's coalition, starting with his Vice President, is with neoliberal pro-banking sectors for whom austerity is a religion, making this all totally predictable and their rage totally theatrical).
I would actually pay money to hear American left-liberal commentators like the ones below, who did segment after segment on Lula and the Brazilian election -- despite barely being able to place the country on a map -- explain what's happening and why.
“Fire on stage” is how @mehdirhasan describes Lula’s debates prior to winning the election in Brazil.
In the latest episode of ‘Unshocked’, he and @NaomiAKlein unpack the lessons for Democrats from Lula’s victory, including his mic drop moments before the election.

NEW ARTICLE: The notion that Soviet collapse was an inevitable product of a broken economic system is a stubborn myth. In reality, a close reading of late Soviet economic history reveals that the USSR was entirely stable until Gorbachev's reforms. A different future was possible.
In this series, I sketch out the possibilities of the lost 21st Soviet century. Link in reply

Yugoslavia not only used to make its own stuff, it made stuff for many other countries. Yugoslav builders and engineers worked all over the world. This had to be destroyed. Now the only industries in local hands are restaurants and IT enterprises. But the Balkans will rise again.

Corrijo el tuit: "Los occidentales leen en los medios sobre una Rusia que no existe, inventada por la propaganda". Pero, vamos, que no es nuevo, es todavía más evidente respecto a la imagen que dan de la URSS. Aunque para ser justos, es aplicable a casi cualquier tema.
