because we had a brutal cia-backed dictatorship, who hunted, tortured and killed even suspected leftists for 20-ish years. they effectively killed mainstream leftism in brazil. i doubt the official death toll is accurate, as we never properly investigated it for too long and the pigs erased a lot of the records. most we found after the fact on clandestine burial grounds.
we are starting to see the beginnings of something resembling leftism again, but right now we will be stuck in the grindset work-while-they-sleep mentality for the foreseeable future.

that’s crazy why are there no good young leftist leaders anymore what happened
