1. Dilma Rousseff on torture

The art of resisting torture lies in the idea, "just one more minute". If you think there are five minutes, or twenty minutes, it will be unbearable. So you have to think "one more minute, two minutes..." brainwash yourself constantly and try to overcome it. Human beings are born with pain, which is pain.

2. Cleaners talk about Rousseff's resignation

If you can clean everything up with a cloth and bucket of water, it's easy. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this, too much dirty stuff. She was elected by the people, and I think holding an election again is the best way. I don't know if the people drove her down, the process is not democratic, nor is it the voters' choice. In fact, democracy does not exist. I don't think democracy exists. Our right to vote, I don't think it exists.

3. Buffett

Class struggle exists, yes. But the rich class I am in, we started the war, and the victory will ultimately belong to us.

4. Lula's speech before imprisonment

We have tricky work to do, and they ordered me to be arrested. You listen to me, I will obey their orders. I did this because I wanted to shift responsibility, and they felt that all the problems in this country were caused by me. If I do not believe in justice, I will not form a political party, but will initiate a revolution in this country. But I believe in justice, a fair judicial system will rule based on evidence.

It would be futile to restrict my movement in this country, because millions of Lula, Brosmanuela and Dilma Rousseff came to help me with my work. It is futile to stop me from communicating ideas. These ideas have been circulated everywhere and cannot be imprisoned. It doesn’t make sense to stop my dreams, because when I stop dreaming, I will let your minds dream for me and think that everything will stop the day Lula has a heart attack. This is also an illusion, that’s nonsense, because of you. Your heart will beat for me, there are millions of people's hearts here. Powerful people may be able to break one, two or a hundred roses, but they can never stop the arrival of spring, we are fighting to find spring

5. A Greek writer wrote

Democracy is truly effective only when the rich are threatened. Otherwise, the leader is oligarchy, from father to son, from son to grandson, from grandson to great-grandson, and then continues.

6. When the future we face is as hopeless as the darkest past, how should we face it?

    It turns out that the matter is so complicated that our country doesn't report much, so we don't know that there are still these things.

    What is a good person? What is a bad guy? What is democracy? Must democracy be universal? I believe there must be a group of people who are seriously unsuitable for contemporary (political) civilization living in some areas. They are only worthy of class solidification, and they are about to starve to death before they can revolution. Someone gives them a little reward and can eat enough to enslave themselves. It is just right to read a little book. They can be fooled by the media controlled by the privileged class, and their living environment is chaotic and powerless. Shun Shun knelt down to welcome the military government to take charge of everything...Those who are pursuing contemporary civilization become compatriots with them are considered bad luck, there is no need to have political opponents, relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, and auntie Street can give themselves to death. Dead and transparent. The director's standpoint is clear, and the rare images are objective. If the director has the opportunity to take a look at other places, he will know that political donations are not the only source of corruption. Some dictatorial governments don’t need donations from anyone. Becoming officials is for all kinds of corruption. You people in South America are all Can't think of any.

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!
