“As a “democratic regime of force.” Rodríguez is no different from the 'politically correct' in academia, who attempted to impose their factually incorrect views on race on others. Such as 'sun people' for Africans, and 'ice people' for Europeans. That African's invented the telephone. That some carved murals indicated that the ancient Greeks were 'black'. When in fact, the mural was 'black' due to oxidisation, as the original colour was red. Or marxists, that insist on redefining the word 'liberal' to better suit their jaundiced view.
“To block the rise of Communism” is a complete and utter fiction. “Inconveniently, the US can point to nothing even remotely threatening done by the Brazilian Communist Party, and early in 1964, Russian leader Khrushchev refuses even token financial aid to Goulart, not wishing to tangle with the US over the country. ” Brazil Herald, 3/6/64

This President needs to go back to school - with real text books. Trying to rewrite history.

I'm sure he'd LOVE to but can't! It's because his driver is missing - you forgot ALREADY?

“While interest in the history of the PCB declines after 1958, it becomes even more scarce during the administration of President João Goulart. In this period the PCB is only cited in a superficial manner. In addition to the generalized expressions which see it as part of the 'left' of the time,”
The Brazilian Communist Party and João Goulart's Administration. Jorge Ferreira

Lol. If it was democratic they wouldn't've needed to use force or suppress free elections. Duh.
