Anarkismo.net: Brazil - Fake parties and the politics of cynicism by Bruno Lima Rocha (pt)

The cynicism and political hypocrisy is the structuring of the game scenes built without 
ideological distinction between subtitles or programmatic ---- On Monday, May 20, the 
minister and current president of the Supreme, Joaquim Barbosa, said at an event held at a 
private university in Brasilia that "political parties are fake." As I have been saying 
here in this publication, we are at a time when the obvious is just talking transformer. 
Party politics in general and Congress in particular, are Genis contemporary democracy. 
Barbosa only reflects the collective perception of the lack of programmatic coherence, 
doctrinal principles and ideological fidelity. Lack discuss the consequences for such 
governance if there is such consistency. ---- Any political party system longevity sees 
loyalty in political organizations a dangerous way to polarize the positions.

If the parties have real drive programmatic and tactical certain regularity, we would live 
moments similar to "turbulent" '80. At the time, the current ruling party refused to weave 
some sort of alliance with the forces that participated in the transition through the 
opening slow, gradual and limited. From outside to inside, reformism forced the gates of 
the state and created a high voltage class in the country. Much of the social forces 
agglutinate up around the PT and the CUT of Liberation Theology. The tone of Lula's 
campaign in 1989 reflected this accumulation. In the first decade of this century, the 
former Executive reformers come to power, and the price was becoming identical to former 
adversaries.

A decade passes and, in 2013, the parties of "fake" by the words of the most popular 
minister STF guarantee on your "give and take" everyday "social peace" required to 
maintain such governance. I'm not saying this with a stable representative democracy has 
as its foundation only cynicism and sense of survival. But without giving program, purpose 
and ideology, politics becomes essentially conflict.

Also in May, materialized concepts issued by Barbosa in the lecture. On the floor of 
Congress during the vote on the Ports MP - MP renamed the "pigs" for the controversial Mr 
Little (PR-RJ) - observe as if digladiava parliamentary representation by interests not 
declared. Capital established confronting new entrants through speech to MPs and senators. 
Personally, I prefer a democracy based on grassroots organizing and social forces 
mobilized than size show cynicism.
