    i remember a pic of an arse-faced woman showing the monthly ration provided to her by the state in poland, as if saying “look at this misery”. probably the pic was shot in the early 80s. when i first saw that the first thing that came to my mind is that, in northeastern brazil (my home region), around the same time, about 1.5 million people died of starvation and malnutrition during the drought of 1977-83, and many would literally give an arm or a leg for that ration.














  • i don’t think she acts like 90% of the politicians since at least republicans are indeed free to act exactly like the program of their party. conservatives and reactionaries don’t have to play double games because in a capitalist system they have free reins, whereas progressive and social-democrats have to remind capitalists all the time how reliable they are to them, and in return they get the donations and resources they need to get elected, remain in power by not being removed through political means or lawfare, and are not branded as pariahs, i.e., radical communists.

    however, i do get the point when she receives death threats, and i think that is undefendable and i suspect that this has got something to do with her being a young woman. but i don’t believe this was the case here since she was being pressured, not having her life or of those associated with her threatened. what people are saying, even though with red paint and an angry sign, is that “if you still want our votes and be associated with our values, you’d better change your stance”. as for bernie, it might be because he’s still much more inside social democracy than AOC even though he’s still playing comfortable with his genocide stance, it might be because he’s a white male. my guess is 80% the first reason and 20% for the latter.



  • since the end of ww2 the two major coup d’états in brazil happened with direct support of the department of state and the cia under dem administration (johnson was in power in 64 and obama, with hillary clinton in charge of the department of state, in 2016). we’ve got a story or two to tell about them. if the regular lib doesn’t care about that, then the most natural thing for us is to consider both parties equally harmful and don’t give a damn over internal issues of the us and a.
