Motivos pelos quais o sistema precisa de Bolsonaro - Iniciativa Revolução Universal
Submitted by Joaos on Oct 3 2018 13:11
O Bolsonarismo, seja com o pretexto de combatê-lo ou para melhor apoiá-lo, é um convite à submissão às instituições do sistema. Em ambos os lados está a defesa inquestionável da disciplina social capitalista, da sujeição em massa ao Estado todo-poderoso, seja para conjurar a “ameaça esquerdista” cujo perigo estaria no retorno do PT ao poder (segundo os bolsonaristas), ou para prevenir a “ameaça fascista” representada pelo demônio-chefe Bolsonaro. Produto máximo da contra-revolução e terror de Estado após a derrota da onda de rebeliões de 2013-2014, o Bolsonarismo representa a tentativa maior de fazer a classe trabalhadora aderir à colaboração com o Estado e fraternizar com os exploradores.
Brazil: popular revolt and its limits
June 2018 marks five years since the wave of protests against the price of collective transportation, which shook the streets of hundreds of brazilian cities in 2013. At the heart of those riots was the Movimento Passe Livre (something like Free Pass Movement), an autonomous and horizontal social movement founded in 2005, which defended the gratuity of transport. Written in 2014 by two militants who later left the organization, this article reflects on the limits of that cycle of protests.
