Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?
And now it isn't, that's democracy, baby
I fully agree that Bolsonaro was a straight up demon, but I also agree with the idea that - currently - the administration of Brazil is probably about as good an example of a good world citizen as it gets
Abso-fucking-lutely not. Fascists would NEVER be able to gain power in a truly democratic society. No ifs, ands or butts.
Fascists are funded into power (and into existence) by CAPITALISTS - adherents to an ideology that is violently incompatible with anything that can be called democratic with a straight face.
Brazil is not a democratic society. It is a (so-called) "liberal democracy" - something that can be more accurately described as 95% capitalism with some fake democracy substitute thrown in as a legitimising measure.
That is THE WHOLE POINT of liberalism.
Save it for the next fascist your (supposedly) "democratic" system siccs on you, liberal.
You’re pinning for a system that prevents fascism, but it doesn’t exist. You prevent it through other sociological structures. The method for selecting power can’t do what you want it to do.
But by all means, keep trying to bait people online, I’m sure that helps you somehow.
Who brainwashed you into thinking that? The liberals who always come up with a 1001 excuses to keep fascism around, perhaps?
And what "sociological structures" would these be, pray tell?
Oh we cannot democratically decide what power should do or how it should be distributed, eh?
Why am I not surprised that your TRUE ideology turns out to be as anti-democratic as the status quo you are shilling for?
