(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, Levy and the Pyrrhic victory of the "left" - scenario analysis, week of November 30 to December 6, 2014 by BrunoL (fr, pt)

 [machine translation]

Introduction ---- This week, we see more harmful consequences of 3rd Shift and the 
government of the myth in dispute. How often is the left whose urgencies never fit in the 
polls of indirect democracy is more than correct. The manifesto of intellectuals, 
activists, collectives and individuals who coalesce around the ideas of the portal Carta 
Maior (11/24/14) expressed a correct indignation of those who supported the candidacy of 
Dilma, rallied to the tight 2nd round and now see before the election embezzlement. ---- 
The former guerrilla, former union leader who, according to their left and never out of 
the eternal Chicago Boy, straight from Milton Friedman to hosts, under the blessing of 
L?zaro Brand?o, rule the 7th economy in the world. To the deluded mass of the "ideological 
vote"

Text published on the portal and a permanent collection of electronic signatures, who 
disputes the summit decisions calls the bases of support the re-election of Dilma simply 
force it to fulfill its promises and campaign promises! In writing in this regard may seem 
provocation or sectarianism, but when the very left that still supports the coalition 
government that analyzes the below mentioned are a clear shift to the right is because we 
are in an open and triggered battlefield.

For those who do not believe in government in dispute (such as this analyst), understand 
that it is the right time to claim a new form of accumulation of forces, beyond the 
embarrassment of PT who is still and has conduct and reivindic?vel trajectory. I selected 
this snippet of text below the manifesto, because I believe it is illustrative. The clash 
is just beginning and the third shift apparently going to be a long-term peleia, even 
tougher than the second turn.

"In the third round that is at stake, the elected president seems to take more account of 
the forces whose representative defeated than dialogue with the forces that elected.

Rumors of Joaquim Levy and Katia Abreu indication for the Ministry signal a regression of 
the victorious schedule at the polls. Both are known for conservative and exclusive 
solution of the fiscal problem and the systematic defense of the landowners against the 
environment and the rights of workers and indigenous communities.

Government proposals were clearly announced in the presidential campaign and pointed to 
the expansion of workers' rights and not to social regression. Civil society can not be 
surprised after the elections and have the right to actively participate in defining the 
direction that elected government. "

It must be fair to Dilma. Never in time she or Lula or campaign coordination have 
committed to consultation mechanisms, even if indirect, to civil society mobilized for his 
re-election. In the absence of institutional mechanisms to enhance popular sovereignty, 
the only way to be heard is the pressure of the streets, making left opposition to this 
same government that those to sign the manifesto helped elect.

More than institutionalized blackmail the PMDB, PP and other "allies"

Over the last two weeks before Dilma put Levy and Nelson Barbs, in addition to continuing 
Alexandre Tombini as a de facto situation, there was a rebellion principle of "allies". 
The government coalition works at a slow pace while preparing the siege inside. The chiefs 
did not vote to change the primary surplus target (on two occasions), vote that it was 
precisely the Planalto maneuver to avoid embarrassment to the new holders of the economic 
folders to take. On the agendas of the big newspapers, much has been said about it and, as 
always, missing someone question the fanciful primary surplus, which operates as a state 
certification obedient to international speculators.

We're hitting targets in the 1999 crash yet! And in the weeks that follow, gives plenty of 
time for the base "ruling" reduce the room for maneuver of the re-elected president. 
Holders of joint second Dilma government, Mercadante, Miguel Rossetto and Jaques Wagner, 
will apply the expertise on the inner left to try to tame the voracious appetite of the 
coalition. What to mate career.

Dilma, Levy and crazy theory of government in "dispute"

The speech of Joaquim Levy, Minister of the second government of Dilma Finance and 
indicated by Bradesco when the refusal of Luiz Carlos Trabuco, another executive of the 
financial services conglomerate led by L?zaro Brand?o, brings monetarist type of elements 
and would point a setback. This statement is Breno Altman, Opera Mundi portal editor (good 
source of international politics) and to support the text that had come in the Greater 
Charter (on 28/11/14), the specialist world of publishing points in some irrefutable data.

- March 2013 to October 2014, the Selic jumped 7.25% to 11.25% per year.

- Increased financial income of twenty thousand families control 70% of domestic debt 
securities. But deteriorated public accounts: four points more in interest mean extra 
annual spending around ? 120 billion.

What is in doubt is how long the PT sectors that still have some belief system on the 
popular role or at least some kind of preferential option for the sovereignty and direct 
employment, will follow with the crazy theory (or justification) of "government in dispute "?!

Levy and the Pyrrhic victory of the "left"

Now, to the delight of the conservative media and their political and economic analysts, 
the government continued Lulism gives the basis for the assertion of electoral larceny.

The Merval Pereira argument reproduces the same assertion Bolivar Lamounier, the victory 
in the polls of sync with the political victory - or the lack of legitimacy as more 
important than the legality of the election. Let's look below:

"What these people do not want to see, and that Rousseff was forced to understand, is that 
the electoral victory of the PT in October did not correspond to a political victory 
because it forged the base of the abuse of public and lies machine, are those disclosed by 
advertising election, or scattered in various forms across the country to scare the less 
informed. " (Blog Merval, in the O Globo website, on 11/28/14).

That is, on the one hand we have symbolic betrayal of Dilma - programmatic betrayal 
because we have to admit that it was not - the other, the third part features a legitimacy 
withdrawal of intent, from the published opinion (if widespread, distributed) and the 
defense of rights (both UDN coup as pointing Aetius as the national Capriles).

On the one hand bothered to operators recruited to manage the economy in the second Dilma 
mandate the manifest modest signed by about 4930 people by the end of this analysis, on 
the other, there was a sense of Pyrrhic victory for those who signed the text of claims 
and saw all ties built by Lula and Palocci in the first term - when the very Levy served 
as secretary of the National Treasury - return less than a month after the victory at the 
polls.

What economic right wants - love - would be an insulation of economic folders, creating a 
real theoretical linked authority and strategically to major economic actors, with special 
predilection for financial capital.

Conclusion

Even lucid part of the Financial Times recognizes: the European extreme left is right 
about the impossibility of payment of odious debt

This is the paradox. Even the Financial Times (in Wolfgang M?nchau article on 11/23/14) 
admitted that we are right about the folly of government debt. The Globonews surprisingly 
(on 25/11/14) gave the profile of the Brazilian public debt and this has more than 60% of 
its composition of Brazilian securities holders made up of banks, investment funds (panic, 
the hedge funds such! ) and, guess what, foreign buyers. Only Brazil pays 11.25% per year, 
the global average of hits 1 point when it comes 2 the financial casino celebrates. Here 
the debt is sinking public investment. Ironically, it is clear that the re-elected former 
militants are right painful awareness of that columnist FT.

 [machine translation]

In the final stretch of the 1st round, with less than twenty days to the election, it 
seems that finally there was an adjustment of the governing party (PT) and the defense of 
the mandate of President Dilma Rousseff's campaign strategy. As we said earlier, the worst 
of all worlds for the situation would be a more palatable version of Lulism for media 
operators and agents in free traffic with veto power. Such a product of political 
marketing is the former Environment Minister Marina Silva. And his greatest virtue 
advertising, ends up becoming the target visible and concrete the PT former 
coreligionists. ---- Dilma Rousseff's then Chief of Staff, the creator of Lulism Amazon 
and its generic version, the then Environment Minister Marina Silva. At the time, Marina 
tried to be anointed by the political godfather

You can not do serious analysis taking into account the indexes of the election campaign; 
but, as the staffs of the candidates have done so, we are forced to recognize this 
variable. The PT began to beat his desafeta exposing its contradictions and double 
standards. This same party, anointed by Lula at the time under the political direction of 
Jos? Jos? Dirceu and Geno?no, wrought heterodox alliances to form a majority in Congress 
and ensure that such governance inside and outside. If Marina also did not heterodox 
alliances in his projection public image, could exploit this fact in led by Rousseff and 
Michel Temer (PMDB) coalition, but does not. By stating that "will rule with the best" and 
"has no sides", only the "common good of all Brazilians," regardless of their position on 
the social ladder, Marina performs an empty speech with strong advertising appeal, but 
with the possibility of limited flight.

It was enough that his allies in the specific cleavages were the field as Pastor Silas 
Malafaia to Marina increase rejection and insecurity in the electorate. The televangelist, 
national leadership of the Assembly of God and spokesman of a kind neoliberal capitalism 
and micro preaching conservative, can be easily taxed to incite homophobic hatred and thus 
strengthen all violence against the LGBT population. These sermons go against the media 
structure supporter of Marina, for example, is noted in the plots of tele-novellas of 
Globo TV. Albeit in caricature form, the presence of homo-affective relationships is 
constant in the frame of the globe and form a common place in the leading broadcaster.

Another open flank by Marina is on display Neca Set?bal and an alleged possibility of tax 
adjustment of $ 15 billion to be realized through judicial resources Ita? Group, which she 
has inherited majority stake. The former senator Acre, through the gate of their economic 
relations, is not unlike the policy of national champions BNDES Lula and Dilma and the 
umbilical relationship with the great capitals present here. The difference is in the type 
of relationship, because the packages kindnesses followed Lula and Dilma ensure direct 
employment as a factor of stability in the Brazilian capitalism. Have the options of the 
economic team of Marina, led by Eduardo Gianetti da Fonseca, flirting with the ghost was 
the FHC and its dire consequences for the concrete Brazilian society. The theme of the 
pre-salt, among others, characterizes this open flank.

Thus allowing us to forcible comparison, although we have no reformist candidates 
(authentic electoral left) with chances to win, the PT is forced to stand 
publicitariamente leftmost to differentiate itself from its split that heads the center 
and center-right spectrum. Such division before led by the late Eduardo Campos (PSB), 
opens an alliance with finance capital, as indicated by the unfortunate idea of ensuring 
"independence" to the Central Bank. This means in practice deliver 100% of the monetary 
authority in the hands of bankers, speculators, consultants and economists linked to the 
financial sector. Among obscure "technical rules" ranging from econometric measurements 
and delusions of liberal economic philosophy, the little remaining sovereignty of the 
state over the power of rentiers going down the drain. Propagate the absurdity in the 
campaign, Marina, Beto Albuquerque and the troupe of historical and new upstarts 
affiliates, open one side to beat and certainly not because the PT beats, but how and why 
it took hits either.

If there is still a chance of electoral victory Lulism, this materializes in the presence 
of Lula himself campaigning. Blacklisting Marina and claiming his political creature 
(Rousseff, the former Prime Minister, head of the Civil Cabinet sworn in amid pandem?mio 
Mensal?o of the crisis), the Brazilian Lech Walesa can turn the advertising game. The 
"mother of PAC" has again with the "father of the poor" to defeat the two neoliberal 
projects on behalf of a multiclass development. The Lulism, translated into raptures with 
tropical Bismarckism Late Keynesianism, gets along well with the structure of classes and 
some inequality. If the right Brazilian politics were not so crazy ideologically and 
post-colonial exclusion, follow the steps of economic agents and leaders support Lula, 
Dilma and co.

Brazilian election is a match played in two rounds and that in its first round, will lead 
to partial victory for the team to attack the flanks more open opponents. The PT took 
paradigm Adhemar, and is doing. The others need to knock this light and affirm that they 
distribute income and ensure the accumulation of capital gains generators present here 
direct employment. Otherwise, the chances of winning are lower.

(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, Dilma booed and identifying unmet by BrunoL (pt)

The boos for Dilma, who came avidly of curses and expletives were feeling the start of the 
World Cup. At that moment, after an opening party for more than clich?, the Lulism came 
face to face with your worst foe. ---- Dilma was booed like that because there is no 
identity with her, not the least of most of this in Itaquer?o public. ---- However much 
flatter, Lula and his followers do not form an identification with Brazil that would like 
to speak in a foreign language and looks amazed and awestruck at the center of capitalism 
as the quintessence of civilization. The once most out of (ex)-left the Continent is 
tolerated - and unloved - those who dominate the country in the ideological, economic and 
political spheres. ---- This is a dual loyalty never resolved by the PT in its oligarchic 
coalition government. Age Lula (and Dilma) was marked by the "win-win", where the upstairs 
invoice through Bismarckism Tropical game and social policies, improves the life of the 
floor below.

The problem is in tip top of the social pyramid. As often happens, there was a poor 
interpretation of materialistic bias. The ex-militants associated loyalty class material 
benefits to the achievements of government. The reasoning is even correct, but when it 
comes to winning a massive electoral reservation.

As in Latin America most governments act only for their own benefit and their class 
fraction, any distributive action is seen as exceptional, immediately winning the loyalty 
(the ballot and affection), those who have obtained the minimum expected for a system 
democratic.

This government operates on the logic of strengthening the structures of capitalism and 
the consequent projection of Brazil in the international arena, the empowerment of 
national or associated companies understand capital needed.

The PT and its allies made a good government to a capitalist country whose structure is 
patrimonial state. Would be the "least worst" choice for anyone who was lucid right. But 
forgot to combine this with the ruling class and its helper fraction, the high average 
operating as reproductive material and symbolic of the great drivers of the nation.

Dilma was booed like that because there is no identity with her, not the least of most of 
this in Itaquer?o public. The former guerrilla does everything to build a country hick 
heads development of capitalism but does not have a pre-disposed to such boldness ruling 
class. Also, trying to satisfy govern who sent to whom evil is recognized as Brazilian elite?

(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, Fear and manipulation of popular participation by BrunoL (pt)

The weeks before the World Cup have been marked by the Brazilian popular protagonism. We 
strike subway, bus, professors, movement in defense of property and visibility of the 
Popular Committees Cup. ---- The government's proposal, through the decree which embodies 
the National Policy for Social Participation (PNPS), is the least shy and seen as 
electioneering by the opposition and the very base of the Plateau. ---- If exposure to 
global media is a parameter, the fight against the excesses of FIFA is already victorious, 
and this agenda publicized across the world. Merit who initiated this lawsuit against 
almost everyone in today distant year of 2010. ---- Leaving little for the start of the 
event, the country's football debate pre-election schedule in an attempt to cash in on the 
street actions. The PSDB-UDN opposition insists on trying to delegitimize the achievements 
of the coalition government, basing the economic agenda through the "inflationary 
pressure" and the fictional targeting regime as greater than the direct use value.

The part of the ruling center-right (with a maximum of Keynesian), gives the inverse. The 
inclusion of the world consumption and employment form the currency more than enough to 
ensure the profits of the national champions.

For insertion of Brazil in the center of international capitalism, was made homework. We 
are a middle power, one of the leaders of the G-20 and we are turning the axis of the 
world to the South-South relations. The problem is in the home, particularly in the streets.

The government's proposal, through the decree which embodies the National Policy for 
Social Participation (PNPS), is the least shy and seen as electioneering by the opposition 
and the very base of the Plateau. My criticisms go to reverse that manifested in angry 
editorials and speeches Lacerdistas right.

There is no problem to formalize Councils of Popular Participation, however. When more 
instances of direct, better focus. If this affront the lapsed status of indirect 
representation, is because democracies "mature" generally increase the distance between 
representatives and represented.

If there is any dilemma in this proposal is the fact that she had been in an election 
year, to bill the urn which was not done in four years in office.

The time to address the problem was in the second half of 2013, when there was a popular 
force on the street and ready to move in direct democracy. It's too bad for the Brazilian 
more a claim historic popular movement being used for electioneering manner.
After the election, the popular agenda needs to settle accounts with the government shift, 
requiring mechanisms of direct democracy and the deepening of PNPS.

(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, The Syndicate, by Franz de S? Silva

"An institution like any other bourgeois" and his crisis of representation. ---- At first, 
a warning to the unwary: The caption is a satire with a statement of the current president 
of the Union of Municipal Servants of Teresina (SINDSERM), where it during a conversation, 
said that the union "is a bourgeois institution like any other". ---- 
http://anarquistas-pi.blogspot.com.br/2014/02/o-sindicato-uma-instituicao-burguesa.html 
---- "Unsurprisingly union tactics not only are rusty, but also do not dialogue with 
practices that would ensure the protection and inclusion of workers. A search for new 
forms of management, as well as methods that make effectively the concerns of union 
members are attended were left out, sometimes being replaced by a grotesque attempt at 
maintenance and perpetuation of power within a given association of amparo labor sectors. 
Sometimes these quarrels are fought by devices which claim to bourgeois elections through 
universal suffrage, which transforms the union in a partisan guerrillas.

Maybe this reality can be found in other unions in Brazil and abroad, however, the 
companion Franz Icarus sets his sights on the Union of Municipal Servants of Teresina, the 
SINDSERM, and with a mixture of colloquialism, theoretical terms and irony, sewing your 
perspective on this obstacle within your union, seeking to raise the debate about the 
importance of resuming an interest in unionism lined base, seeking to expand this, and it 
is effectively autonomous, classist and combative. "

(en) Anarkismo.net: Brazil, The bench "evangelical" and reactionary thinking by Bruno Lima Rocha (pt)

The state is secular, but the strength of the worship of the golden calf, associated with 
the praise of a synthesis between prosperity and biased load, can elevate their political 
power to each legislature. ---- It was time to see a rally in the auditorium of the 
Brazilian Press Association (ABI), downtown Rio Marco Feliciano (PSC-SP) has been 
operating as the epicenter of Brazilian public opinion, mobilizing justified concerns. In 
the opening period, the site was the scene of struggles for democratization and also by 
misguided banner of Amnesty Wide, and Unrestricted General for torturers and criminals 
against humanity. Now, in 2013, active minority groups, intellectuals and artists come 
together again to try to block the advance of authoritarian thinking, galvanized the 
president of the Human Rights Commission of the Federal Chamber.

The paradox is this. If the masses are called, the active part will push to the right.

If the politician and preacher Paulo carries in his speech to mark the grotesque, this 
profile is not unique. The set of tele-evangelists to preach daily for over thirty years, 
linked to the principles of the doctrine of Prosperity Theology in fact has been 
accumulating power and social power. Today, this sector is representative, knocking nearly 
thirty percentage points with the electoral called "evangelical vote". This cleavage is 
based on obscure formulations, bringing biblical interpretations to the letter, 
reinforcing aspects of conservative thought of the lower classes. For sumptuous 
consumption, is the best of all worlds. To change society, we are in trouble.

At various times in history, the working class has improved their living conditions and 
rights tearing achievements. Today, the Minister of Fisheries and licensed bishop of the 
Church Universal, Marcelo Crivella (PRB-RJ) thanks to a former union leader (Lula) and an 
ex-guerrilla (Dilma), the expansion of credit and purchasing power of wages . His claim 
becomes simplistic. With more money in circulation, the greater the number and volume of 
tithing paid by the faithful. If this is not crisis paradigm is what?

The irony is overwhelming. Nelson Rodrigues fought against the religious sector leftmost, 
whom he called "Father of march." What would the writer about politicians like Feliciano 
and Crivella, both on the basis of volatile past and a government whose political career 
is forged in social pastoral action?! Certainly, our greatest playwright "was happy and 
did not know." It is preferable cassock of a preacher giving sermon trying to change the 
social relations stunt to a pastor, speaker and politician reinforcing prejudice and 
reactionary thinking.

Note: I apologize for applying the term to refer to the evangelical Pentecostal bench. It 
is a requirement newspaper, considering the space problem and attention of the reader. 
Pentecostal is the right concept, but evangelical is the euphemism used for the preachers 
of the Prosperity Theology, diverse in its different sects collecting societies, although 
politically allied.
