May 11th, 2013 - 01:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0And I thought Brazilians were smart people.
One is amazed by the attitude of Brazil ! Could it be true that in less than ten years we will be ruled by communists ? I refer to Brazil , Argentina , Uruguay , Bolivia , Venezuela ( already communist ) and Ecuador .

May 11th, 2013 - 03:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excellent news, and I see the usual suspects are predictably rattled =)

11 we are not rattled . Just surprised that normal , intelligent people do not understand that communism does not work . Just look at Cuba , now trying to save itself going capitalist !
May 11th, 2013 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am Brazilian, and the above picture makes me sick. I cannot wait to vote Dilma out of office.
May 11th, 2013 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#14 Good luck with that; but a word to the (not so) wise, most voters don't seem to show the same enthusiasm for the pro-poverty candidates you must support...
May 11th, 2013 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dilma is the pro-poverty candidate, and so was Lula. Their best days are behind them.

May 12th, 2013 - 01:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brazilians are not smart people. Even in more educated Southern regions Lula remains influential, despite the constant threats to democracy that he represented.
#16 So I take it from that you wish they were even more left wing, as in their “best days” =)
May 12th, 2013 - 08:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0#17 What threat tpo democracy?! You're having a laugh
It´s really shameful that Brazil supports populism, demagoguery, election frauds and dictatorships of the worst kind in the continent and in the world.

May 12th, 2013 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I haven't seen Dilma endorsing Farage
“demagoguery”
or Wayne LaPierre
“election frauds”
or Bush
“and dictatorships of the worst kind in the continent and in the world”
or the Saudis!
The Saudis are a monarchy, not a dictatorship, like Cuba for instance.
May 12th, 2013 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At # 20 “ There is no education at the second kick of the mule” Cuba and Venezuela are great economies that is why Argentina and Venezuela and now Brazil are modeling after them (This is the new definition of insanity) and take at look at the Pigs countries in Europe Portugal Italy Greece Spain.(Pigs) there social welfare is ending, the model is not sustainable, and please do not confuse them with Sweden Highly capitalist with high taxes to support a massive social cost they too will eventually collapse since all their surrounding are collapsing .
May 13th, 2013 - 01:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0#21 says the Saudis are not a dictatorship, and #22 says that ultra-austerity Greece is socialist, you're both nuts!
May 13th, 2013 - 09:33 am - Link - Report abuse 019 here you may have to think on geopolitics to understand Brazil relationship with Venezuela, most southamerican countries know perfectly well it´s bad news for everyone for Venezuela to fall into chaos,so most of them and even EU took a side between Maduro and Capriles. But I will give you, I agree Maduro nor Chavismo isn´t good for Venezuela, I hope they get the chance to change things sooner than later.
May 13th, 2013 - 12:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 020 You do have great points, sadly most countries act acording to a national strategy shaped by the Gov. in turn, while coherence takes a second place.
Any gov't that needs “emergency” food supplies should not be ruling.
May 13th, 2013 - 03:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Venezuelans deserve to starve and be killed in the streets to have voted this horrible Socialist gov't back into office.
Good luck and good riddance
Please don't come to Miami we don't want you spreading your virus here.

#26 So you think Cristina is controlling Clarin then? She's either doing a terrible job of it, or got a fine taste for self-deprication! And do you think the media in Suadi is more free?!
