Brazil! Brazil!


Brazil! Brazil!

What is behind the rebellion that we see going on in Brazil right now? I believe that it is a rebellion against untruth. It is a rebellion of the kids against the lies told to them in their schools, in the universities and in large part of the media, TV in particular. Although the kids probably feel it more than they know, they have been conned by those in power. Not only by the executive branch of government, but likewise by the judicial branch and the legislature. Brazilian politics is a gigantic web of lies and one humongous cheat that has been set up to serve those in power. Those who have achieved to get in could reap huge benefit whatever party held the flag – and this is it how up to now has stabilized the system. Now the party is over. The parasitic spot is full.

In order to understand what is going in Brazil right now one must see that this country does not suffer from the particular ailments of the modern states; it suffers from a very old political ailment: the rule of a parasitic class.  

In order to understand what is going it may help to envision the current president as a kind of Marie Antoinette and her predecessor as a kind of Louis XIV. Like in France those of those days those who were in power (which includes the judiciary and large parts of the public bureaucracy) were fed by a system of horrendous taxes with little return for people but mainly served finance the splendor, privileges and squander of the royal court.

From child on Brazilian kids are exposed to  a system of systematic indoctrination  of a propaganda of “rights” and “social inclusion” and presenting Brazil as a country of democracy, solidarity, social inclusion, and freedom while in fact the rulers of this country are deeply authoritarian, greedy, power hunger and largely inconsiderate to human suffering. Brazil has a system of leadership that excels in two areas: empty rhetoric and practical incompetence.

Imagine Brazil as a country with roads full of holes where the government claims to promote traffic safety by spending huge amounts of money with the construction of artificial street bumps. Imagine Brazil as a country where the governments spends relentlessly on propaganda to incentivize the people to avoid water pools because of dengue while public roads are constructed in a way that after a rainfall standing water will remain there for days and weeks. Imagine a country where official propaganda preaches social inclusion, yet where is a bureaucracy in place, which for almost every kind of official documentation requires a bureaucracy dispatcher, called “despachante”. Imagine Brazil as a country where the official propaganda blames “capitalism”, “globalization” and “colonization” as the root of all evils when in fact this country has gained independence already 48 years after the United States, when Brazil is fact belongs to the less globalized countries of the modern world and where true capitalism is almost inexistent and thrives only in its perverse variations as crony state capitalism.
