I’ve only caught clips of it and I’m not strong enough to watch in full so I ask how any of you felt about it if you watched it.
Portuguese news went over it briefly but I can only understand bits and pieces, from what I’ve gathered the whole thing was a shit show.

Can we just throw the whole country away and start over?
Maybe we could call the process a “communist revolution” or something?
Pointless foreign war going badly? ✔
Worsening internal proletarian conditions? ✔
Popular distrust in government and its fundamental philosophy? ✔
Encroaching police state and murdering of protesters? ✔
I could see the USA going the way of either 1905 or 1932 sometime soon. Obviously I prefer first, but it’s the Yankees, they probably will go for the latter. But it’s not like this hasn’t happened at least once every decade for the past 70 years and no revolution materialised. The true sack of potatoes were the American Tubers all along.
Honestly a general strike might be a cool idea at least for basic things like healthcare, rent control, guaranteed sick leave and other things like that, that basically every other stable country already has. Socialist parties are missing out on the opportunity.
Yeah, it’s a shame any left movement is crushed so methodically that fascism feels like only a matter of time in the US… :(

Aspetta … forse non c’è mai una democracia perfetta?
Sì, infatti ogni democracia ha I suoi problemi: meglio che uno stato autoritario.
How about we renegotiate the Civil War? Is it too late to give them the southern states and tell them to leave us alone?
it would be far better to finish what reconstruction started.
