    Dependent Brazil, the fringe of democracy

    The decline of the Brazilian Labor Party is worth thinking about. The chaos in a country like Brazil is often simply an incomplete revolution. Or the three most simple and rude conclusions that I think are absolutely true: 1. Those developing countries that have not thoroughly engaged in agrarian revolution will never have a chance to turn over. Once the tide and bubbles return, they are swimming naked; 2. The barrel of a gun will come out of power; 3. Any independent developing country must never engage in Western-style democracy. Whoever engages in it will never become a chess player.

The Edge of Democracy quotes

  • Petra Costa: A Greek writer said that democracy is only working when the rich feel threatened. Otherwise, oligarchy takes over. From father to son, son to grandson, from grandson to great grandson, and so successively.

  • Self - Ex-Presidente: It's no use trying to stop me from travelling around this country, because there are millions of Lulas, Boulos, Manuelas, and Dilma Rousseffs to do it for me. There's no use in trying to stop my ideas. They're already in the air, and you can't imprison them! There's no point in trying to stop my dreams, because when I stop dreaming, I'll be dreaming through your minds and dreams! There's no point in thinking everything's going to stop the day Lula has a heart attack. That's nonsense! Because my heart will be beating through yours, and there are millions of hearts! The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses. But they'll never stop the arrival of spring, and our fight is in search of spring!
