Absolutely wild how the West's self-proclaimed radical, anti-imperialist hard left maintains this cartoonish caricature of Lula as the last beachhead of revolutionary socialist working-class politics.
Lula's vice president is Brazil's Mitt Romney. If Lula were a politician in the US or EU -- or if these people actually read about and understood Brazil as a real place rather than condescendingly treating it as some South American fairy tale -- they'd all be scorning Lula as a neoliberal servant of bankers, capital, and global capitalism.
And that would be far closer to reality than whatever this is:
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country.
Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.
