Actually has nothing to do with democracy

A documentary with such strong emotions, of course, cannot be objective, but the director has not concealed his position. Although the background is unique, the young director actually does not have a deep understanding of the nature of this democratic chaos. The rightists can stimulate economic development, but they do not care about the life and death of the people at the bottom. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening. To a certain extent, it will lead to sluggish consumption and require the leftists to come to power (otherwise it will be a revolution). The leftists are doing better in redistribution. If they catch the wind of world economic expansion (selling raw materials can make a lot of money), it can improve domestic consumer demand and enter a positive cycle. However, the leftists cannot mobilize the enthusiasm for production, and eventually the development momentum will be exhausted. After stagnation, the people returned to demand the rightists to come to power. As for corruption, this is a weakness of human nature. The democratic system itself cannot contain it. The leftists and the right are the same. The biggest problem is that capital has the ability to flow globally. Unless all countries maintain high taxes on property, countries that try to balance the left and right can only harvest the middle class, lower the middle class, and completely divide the society. Now all the so-called healthy olives All are at stake. This is the typical prisoner's dilemma.

    It took a few days to watch it... such a dry political documentary is so boring. After reading lb's tag, I mentioned watching a female director's feature film in a week. By the end of the year, I also watched 84 different female directors. I think this seemingly simple challenge is rather difficult if you don't look for it subconsciously. Hope 2020 continues #52filmsbywomen

    Just finished writing a course paper on the democratization of politics during the authoritarian period in Brazil, a model and representative of Latin America. However, the more a new country with a complete democratic system, the more it has to go through the test of democracy and development. The democratic system formed in Brazil in the 1980s was a great victory. After 20 years of economic take-off, the advantages of the democratic system are an important influence on its economic development and national social status. Arrest and imprisonment, the return of the right-wing forces, the advantages of Brazilian democracy seem to have become illusory and unrealistic in these scandals, the drawbacks of the separation of state power and the separation of government and people gradually bring the dream of Brazilian democracy so close to the edge

The Edge of Democracy quotes

  • 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!

  • Petra Costa: The fact that there is no evidence that he's the owner of the apartment is considered proof of his attempt to hide it, and this proof is used as evidence that he's the mastermind of the scheme.
