Political environment

The US Technofeudal Impetus

By EDNEI OF GENARO: While technofeudalism consolidates its power in the shadows of digital capital, democracy resists — not as a ghost of the past, but as a project yet to be reinvented

Cleaning the area

By RENATO DAGNINO: If the left does not challenge the meaning of 'reindustrialization', the term will continue to be a euphemism for subsidies to capital. The solidarity economy, far from being a utopia, is the only realistic way to break this cycle

Messiah for sale

By EMILIO CAFASSI: From collective organization to faith – current forms of mystical populism

Third way, hypocrisy

By LUIZ MARQUES: The conciliation between neoliberalism and social democracy has failed, uncovering the sewer of anti-politics and reinforcing the illusion that the market is not responsible for inequities

PT elections and solidarity reindustrialization

By RENATO DAGNINO: The false polarization between Edinho and Valter Pomar in the PT elections: while one defends a solidarity economy and the other reindustrialization, both ignore that only 0,02% of GDP goes to solidarity networks against 23% of subsidies to the class

Frontal opposition to the Lula government is ultra-leftism

By VALERIO ARCARY: The frontal opposition to the Lula government, at this moment, is not vanguard — it is shortsightedness. While the PSol oscillates below 5% and Bolsonarism maintains 30% of the country, the anti-capitalist left cannot afford to

Where to start political reform in Brazil?

By CHICO WHITAKER: The deterioration between the Executive and Legislative branches is not a cyclical crisis, but a structural consequence of an electoral system based on vote buying that replaces ideological debates with commercial transactions

The Lula government and Congress

By JEAN MARC VON DER WEID: It is an illusion to think that one can win elections with electoral strategies and govern with a radicalized “hidden” agenda

Uninhabited democracies

By EMILIO CAFASSI: The blank vote is no longer an eccentric gesture or a luxury reserved for the most exquisitely conscientious. It has become a massive phenomenon

Limit exceeded

By MATTHEW KARP: Republicans have a three-pronged government, but Donald Trump's blitzkrieg has occurred almost entirely through executive orders — a sign of weakness, not strength

The Brazilian Senate

By CARLOS EDUARDO ARAÚJO: The rudeness suffered by Marina Silva is no accident: it is the ultimate project of someone who exchanged the Republic for a spectacle, transforming the Senate into a theater of barbarism

The rise of woke culture

By VIVEK CHIBBER: The right attacks 'wokism' as if it were Marxism, the left defends it as if it were progressivism. Neither realizes that it is, above all, the symptom of a left that has forgotten how to talk about

A question of focus

By JOSÉ RICARDO FIGUEIREDO: Left-wing criticism of the Lula government mixes valid issues (austerity, trade agreements) with mistaken generalizations. Prioritizing the fight against rentierism and fascism – not ideological purism – is essential to moving forward

The specter of bureaucracy

By LUIZ MARQUES: From the 'power of the desk' to the parasitic state, bureaucracy acts as a battlefield between social control, class domination and the anti-capitalist struggle

Brazil – the “meaning” of history

By VALERIO ARCARY: One of Brazil's peculiarities is that the ruling class renounced a bourgeois revolution because it feared the outcome of a civil war, terrified by the presence of a black popular majority.

Human Rights Bench

By CHICO WHITAKER: Amid disbelief in politics, a human rights group is born in the São Paulo City Council to challenge the traditional power game
