Brazil's street demonstrations are horribly significant, because they represent the increasing fragility of governments in the face of extreme income inequality. Expect a new variation of the Arab Spring who knows where? Latin America?

Argyland with its ridiculously corrupt President and its shambolic Pussy Government is far worse off than Brazil.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 12:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So when is it really going to kick off in Argyland?
Change is needed there far more than in Brazil.
I will be watching with great anticipation of this moving into Argentina, the joke is that their police and armed forces, what's left of them, have got as much to be pissed off about as everyone one else, not sure who they will have to quell any Argentine riots.

Jun 21st, 2013 - 01:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0People, stop lying yourself... take a look to the macroeconomic conditions of brazil... High inflation, extremely low growth for an emerging market, high unemployment, currency overvalued... The country has been overrated for the last 10 years thanks to a huge marketing and state propaganda... But we are seeing the reality right now... People knows the truth.

Jun 21st, 2013 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Jesus, if you look at Avenida Paulista, there is as many people as in gay parade, which is like 1 million people. Some journalists and protesters say this number is fake. Calling unions, social movements, students and MST to places where people decided to burn party flags is manipulative. They will blame the right-wingers for a thing they started... Subversive communist tactics.
