faltou dizer que ele não conseguiu terminar uma obra só superfaturou tudo, fez o maior esquema de corrupção da história que temos conhecimento, que o Bolsa família para dar certo tem q ser temporário pois as pessoas precisam trabalhar, que a educação, saúde e os militares ficaram sucateados, os policiais desvalorizados, as favelas ainda mais violentas, que ele deu sorte com o bum de commodities, inicio do plano real, crecimento Chines com empresas captalistas se instalando lá, valorização da petrobras/crescimento do Eike Batista,
this video is fake news the dictatorship was a counterattack, the communists, want to implement the dictatorship di ploletario in the country, exploding bombs, terrorism, using guerrillas, lula da silva is a guerrilla columnist.
Meanwhile in sweden all families get about 170$/child and month. To me as a high income worker its "meh" amounts, but i gladly pay my taxes for those that need this money more than i do
Someone who is willing to pay taxes for the greater good of the poor? What a concept over here in america! We here shamelessly deported thousands of asylum seekers from hati becuase we dont want 5 more cents in taxes to pay for them all for about 5 months.
@@autumn64fromdeltarunechapter3 YES instead of helping working class citizens America happily funds the largest prison and military systems in the world!
Sweden has a lot of great social support laws, sadly we have taken several wrong steps in the last couple of decades.

@@CasperTheRamKnight "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires" - John Steinbeck
Pagliarini gives an excellent summary. However, the income transfer from Bolsa Família went from the medium class to the lower class. By not taxing the rich and promoting too little land reforms than what it was needed, the shrinking of poverty in Brazil was much lower than its potential. Lula isn't necessarily a socialist, meaning we preferred to conciliate the classes instead of abolishing their struggle and sure, Bolsa Família manage to do a lot to transform the reality of our poor, but it would have been a lot better if PT gave less to the conservatives in Congress at that time
@@Rory20uk Brazillians are not helpless hostages of the USA. With the astounding level of domestic support and international respect he had, the USA wouldn't risk an actual socialist uprising and war without international support. That would put their entire influence over Latin America at risk. They waited until massive oil reserves were discovered and a less charismatic successor, Dilma Rousseff, took office and was forced to implement neoliberal policies by the São Paulo bourgeoisie to eliminate their support, criminalize the PT administration and promote the 2016 coup. That only goes to show they'd have done it anyway. That was a lost chance at getting rid of the brutal agrarian role in our neocolonial economic dependency of the USA.
@@Rory20uk he didnt need to do more, our foreign policy of friendship towards all nations, including China for example, was enough for the US to back a coup in 2016 that led to Bolsonaro in 2018, the land owning and industrialist bourgeousie in Brasil are extremely reactionary, dont need much instigation, theres a reason why Brasil was the last country to abolish slavery
correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't the original strategy to strike a conciliation with the ruling classes and oligarchy that dominate Brazilian politics to allow the PT to get a foot in the door (i.e., to get media coverage that wasn't constant demonisation, to appease business owners etc.)? Lula isn't an idiot - obviously it would have worked much better if the richest were taxed instead of the middle class. He was strategic about what could be done given the political terrain at the time, and that meant having to appease the rich. Since the middle class were never supporters of the PT anyway, it made sense to let them take the brunt for the scheme. I'm sure that now, since the PT has established a base and can go off Lula's reputation, they would rather tax the rich. Lula has said that he would be more radical this time (here's to 2022, inshallah)
@@rp1455 yes, that was and by what Lula is saying in public, unfortunately he seems ready to go with the same strategy again, even more center leaning if necessary to muster enough political support to establish himself as the main opposition to Bolsonaro and not any other more right leaning candidate better liked by the ruling class
@@talyssonkrigor legal que ele disse que o Lula combateu a pobreza, quando na verdade Piourou. Eu não sei se esse é só um gringo inocente ou se ta passando pano...
That's because it aims at a Yankee audience, that's why they take a few of Lula's policies and contrast them with American policies from both Republicans and Democrats.
This video is basically the propaganda we were used to see in here, of course the propaganda hasn't stopped, but rather switched sides. But this video is really misleading
Lula's reforms did a lot of good for the brazillian workers, but unfortunately they showed the limitations of working within the framework of the bourgeois democracy For him to pass legislations such as bolsa familia he made deals with the center-right carrer politicians therefore expanding their reach and cementing even more the grasp of plantaion owners and mining companies on the brazillian government
@@guilhermemuratore5352 Exactly, thank you. We need multiple full political, economical, and social/societal revolutions and insurrections to really fight the Class Wars.

the plano real was important not only because of the currency change, but because it severely cut te state's power to print cash by extinguishing the logal state funded banks

@@kaminoshi713 and what harm did Castro do to cuba exactly? You realize cubas predicament is mostly the U.S.A's own doing right?

Imagine what would happen to the U.S.A if most countries where banned from trading with us? Lets say we where cut by 70%. How do you think we would fare? Lol. It would be horrendous. We would not survive such abuse. So one could argue that thanks to Cuba's specific form of SOCIALISM, that the cuban people are still well educated, fed, and homelessness levels are non-existent.
@@kaminoshi713 crazy what damage the US has done to itself, the Americas and the world. Simple reforms can have dramatic changes.

Saying that Brazil has solved poverty is incredibly tone def for the many in the country who still struggle with it, but yes programs such as Bolsa Familia should be praised & supported.
Yes, particularly considering how history has shown how fragile these programs are if they don't come alongside structural reforms. Most of the gains were already lost with Bolsonaro.

My one critique of this video is that you really shouldn't be citing the "international poverty line". That's a metric made up by international organizations like the World Bank and IMF to "prove" that capitalism has lifted billions out of poverty over the last few decades. They make the line extremely low so that it's easy to claim improvement.
Not to mention that none of these feelgood socialists ever consider things like currency, money supply, inflation, job creation etc.. its only TAXES TAXES TAXES from that crowd.
@@vacuumandgaspressurecoexisting socialism is about restructuring the economy so that the workplace is controlled by the workers instead of rich property owners. The idea that we just care about taxes is a conservative myth meant to make us look no different from social democrats. You should actually study socialism before criticising it. Also I find it ironic that you criticise us for not considering inflation or job creation when the lowest inflation rates are found in countries with price fixing and the highest employment rates were found in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. It's almost as if the majority of criticisms of socialism are actually just capitalists projecting the damning faults of capitalism so that the masses don't realise they have no reason to tolerate capitalism for even a day longer.

2:51 Programas sociais relacionados ao Bolsa Família. Quando o Bolsa Família foi estabelecido, já existiam (ou havia existido) alguns programas de ajuda a famílias. Sendo assim, ele ficou como um mix de outras iniciativas sociais, incluindo o Programa Auxílio Gás, que foi criado no governo FHC, no ano de 2002.Fica claro que o Bolsa Família é a unificação do Bolsa Escola, criado em abril de 2001; do Bolsa Alimentação, criado em setembro de 2001, e do Auxílio Gás, criado em janeiro de 2002.O Lula não criou o Bolsa Família.
Primeiro, nunca se foi negado que foi uma junção, mas a questão que o programa mudou a forma de distribuição, oque vc falou é mesmo que dizer que o Bozo n vai criar o Bolsa Brasil, sei la´ como é o nome, e sim que foi uma criação do PT que ele só modificou.
In the early 2000's there was a commodity boom, Lula just rode the wave you can't attribute the economic growth during his term with his government. Came 2014 this boom ended guess what, Brazil has entered a recession that it still didn't recover. I'm not against Bolsa familia but there is always a bigger context behind these issues, instead of making Lula the patrion saint of the poor.
Ele também não foi específico em dizer que quem criou o Bolsa Família foi o próprio FHC, além disso, nunca vi Lula, um so-called "socialist" manter o tripé macro-econômico do FHC, manter a inflação baixa. Além disso, o PT não tinha a finalidade de manter o bolsa família como um programa definitivo para outros governos, mas enfim. O video é verdadeiro, mas ele omite muita coisa e isso pode vir a dar uma imagem superficial demais dos fatos.

Same. I mean, we still have huuuuuge favelas and a big part of the population living on the streets... We are still light years away from riding ourselves of poverty and our society still is one of the most unequal in the world, but I guess one could say we did have some progress

We have metastasized. Lula held the last chance Brazil ever had to become something and threw it into the thrash to reinforce his own position. Our population will start declining in a decade and once this happens, it's the end. No more development. Brazil is done
It's important to note that the workers party is far from perfect. It attempts to concliate the classes, instead of focusing on helping the working class. Lula is the most left wing candidate we have, but he's still center left
@+¹²³⁴²³¹⁴¹³⁶whaTsapp although Lula helped a fuck ton of people and had a pretty good government (as seen in the video) him and his party were responsible for a huge corruption scandal, which generated a strong hatred against the party and overall leftism in Brazil, this, along with the rise of a right-wing politician known for being sincere almost to a fault, generated sort of a fandom war in which everyone knew only PT or Bolsonaro would come out winning, so even people who dont support him ended up voting for him just so PT couldnt win
PT IS NOT the first workers party founded in Brazil we had PCB, PCdoB (though it's a shitty party nowadays), PDT for decades before PT was even founded
PCB and PCdoB were indeed very important leftist parties. I would dispute the argument that they were formed organically by working-class actors like the PT was (this is not a criticism of those earlier parties, just an observation). The PDT was founded 7 months before the PT. The PTB was the main labor-based party in the postwar period but that was not an organic working-class party, having been created by Getúlio Vargas.
Comecei o vídeo super animado de ver um brasileiro contando mais a fundo sobre a história do Brasil. A esmagadora maioria fora do Brasil realmente nos resume a praias, florestas e cristo redentor. Mas é muito triste ver a quantidade de informação omitida pra fazer o Lula parecer ser o herói da história, salvador do Brasil. O bolsa familia foi uma ideia incrível, eu concordo com isso, mas simplesmente ignorar todos os escândalos de corrupção, lavagem de dinheiro, o impacto devastador de varias decisões feitas pensando apenas no curto prazo e o que isso resulta até hoje na nossa economia acaba fazendo o vídeo parecer uma propaganda enganosa. O que é genuinamente triste! Isso acaba piorando e disseminando nossa mania brasileira de colocar o futuro do nosso pais completamente na mão do presidentes, como se eles fossem algum tipo de deus.

Well, as a brazillian, I didn't liked the video, for several reasons, but the 2 most important are: 1- The video title is misleading, Brazil didn't solve this issue, and actually is way worse now than ever, and bolsa-familia, was only really a cheap(specially if you compare with the minimum wage) way to buy the votes from the poorest people; 2- Lula nine fingers, was the most corrupt politician in the history of mankind. He bankrupt several state owned businesses. He made the corruption the base of his government. Everyone, every politician on every sphere of power, was receving dirt money, under his protection, and all of this isnt a opinion, is a fact, there was several investigations against him, and after everything he was considered guilty and went to prison. So for the people watching this video, don't fall for that bullshit, lula, is a thief, a liar, a manipulative person, that used everyone to get to power, and when he got there, he stole from the country, leading us to a path of almost a economic breakdown.
@@IgorFGamerHD Because, he and the left wing party, was almost 2 decades in power, and they had the hability to choose two ministers of justice, in the federal court of justice (STF), even tho they aren't real judges, only lawyers(being left wing, when they shouldn't had a political alliance). This way almost every minister there, is working to returned the favor for them. Almost all brazilians are against the STF, that's also why millions went to protest in the 7 of September, our independence day. Showing their disapproval against this(Lula being absolved of his crimes) and other ditatorial attitudes against the population, and to support the present president Bolsonaro, which is the only one against that putrid and corrupt system, the only one who hasn't any investigation or crime in his behalf, only narratives created by the midia against him...

answer: didn't solve I'm from Rio de Janeiro and around 70% of Cariocas live in some type of favela or in a risky area with a high degree of violence or extreme poverty. However... This is a part of Brazil, as far as I know the South of the country has lesser problems than this one and the Northeast and North are worse, but in general that's what it is.
from the south here, uh yeah there is no favelas and shit but its still hard, crime rates are STILL as high as like, a normal place close to favelas? and yes poverty is high and payments are still low while everything else is increasing in price, once there was a time that i struggled to bring food to the table!
"How Brazil solved poverty" Answer: They didn't. Also: Bro, your portuguese sounds really good in this video. Have you lived in Brazil when was younger?
2:52 Lula didn't introduce it. The basic idea and project was around when he became president, he just finished it. This video lacks a lot of nuance about these kind of things but then again, it's only seven minutes. Besides the program was only that successful because Brazil was able to grow its economy due to the commodity boom. Commodities went down and without an industry to support it, the entire thing went crashing and Dilma was impeached as a result. Not only that, but PT's government not realizing that this effect would most probably happen, spent way too much money which was the reason for the recent liberal (economic) reforms. And watch out, this is probably going to happen again. If any of the great powers face a depression cuz of COVID, commodity prices will probably go up and you'll see another Lula around in Brazil. All of this is really random and there are basically no one to blame or no one to give applause to.
I love that part of the end of the video saying "now, Brazil is still marked by serious inequality" It's almost like government handouts doesn't attack the root cause of poverty
@EnzoGamerUchihaProXD you are probably being ironic, but the idea that the government is unnecessary and actually damaging to society has a lot going for it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lzPbUUPutnk.html
@EnzoGamerUchihaProXD it makes more sense than be a governenmet' slave for ever; in feudalism the poor class had better conditions that the majority of nowadays' poors
@EnzoGamerUchihaProXD The problem with "people are bad so freedom will lead to chaos" is that it assumes the ones in charge are better than everyone else and won't use the power for self-gain. And when asked about it, most state-believers come with some bureacractic "fix" on the fundamental issue (like democracy or the constitution). I suggest you dive deeper into it, because while it's probably impossible we will end the State in our lifetimes, we can still do a lot to spread freedom and reduce it's power over us, by using descentralized services and avoiding the State at all costs. At some point, if we get enough libertarians it might be possible for us to just stop paying taxes all at once, they wont be able to go on war with anything over 20% of the population (and if they do they will only make the other 80% more likely to join us).
A melhor analogia que eu faço ao bolsa família é, e tipo eu nem culpo o lula totalmente por isso kkkkk, é como se a pobreza fosse uma ferida, e o bolsa família uma bandagem, ajuda, vai segurar a ferida por um tempo, claro, mas pra cicatrizar direito, você tem que cuidar da ferida, limpando, botando e depois tirando ponto e trocando a bandagem volta e meia, o bolsa família foi uma bandagem que nunca trocaram, e nunca cuidaram propriamente do ferimento, uma hora a bandagem não segurou o problema, e o que me deixa puto é que era genuinamente uma boa ideia que podia ter solucionado o problema com um pouco mais de atenção e cuidado
Also, more than a decade without any reforms or economy structuring and high corruption has caused a massive crash in the economy that made the far right win the elections and poverty and inequality to rise in the last ""Workers Party"" government.
One of the main problems here in Brazil was that Lula and the Partido dos Trabalhadores gave people what they needed at that moment (money) but failed to discuss some other important matters. Therefore, when the 2008 and 2014 economical crisis hit, people quickly started to look for other president who coul give their money (buyer power) back. Along with others factors, it was crucial to leave us at the horrible situation where are at now.
That was a good moment for Brazil, but unfortunately Lula is now coming back to politics adopting neoliberal economics, with corrupt politicians and entrepreneurs at his side.
We're at a point where if he doesn't, he ain't getting to 2022. The elites might be bothered by Bolsonaro being a psycho, but they quite like his economic agenda. Plus, I doubt the left is gaining too much ground in 2022, so he's gonna have to deal with a congress full of neolibs and reactionaries. We're fucked either way.
@@Alexhandre13 If Lula wants to adopt neoliberalism he can, but the population should support another leftist candidate that has a progressive program for the country.
@@riccardo9383 I agree, the problem is the left doesn't really have a candidate with Lula's charisma and popularity, so they cling to him expecting at least some good out of it.
The worker party tried to make something. But they made our inflation rise, they made the "Petrolão" and "Mensalão", their government broke the econony, to grow like your vidro shows, but later, naturally the market restore the natural way, and now, we are worst than before.
I hope channels like this one become more popular and actual change takes place in the U.S.A. If I was a single person with no ties to my current life... I think I'd flee the US. It's seems it will get very much worse before it gets better.
Good idea on how to make it even worse for your country, cause this video is full of bullshit and biased information, the "other side" in your country would very easily point it out and use it as an excuse to make it even worse than it currently is
Na verdade, o Brasil não resolveu muito a questão da pobreza, muitos brasileiros quando vêem um oportunidade de sair do Brasil, eles saiem e não voltam mais. Como eu futuramente se o Brasil não mudar direito........
Lula was the first one to rebrand FHC's (former president) old redistribution policies to "Bolsa Familia". Brazil came out of severe economic disarrangement and hyperinflation during the 80's, which was fixed in the 90's during FHC's term with the Plano Real, that reformed Brazil economic policies to a fiscally responsible one. Lula went along with FHC's so called "neoliberal" economic policies and put Henrique Meirelles as the head of Brazil's central Bank. Brazil's significant economic growth and reduction of inequality happened during Lula's first term, so attributing it to Lula's policies is really pushing it, since he basically did nothing at that time. From his second term on, specially when his successor Dilma took over, they reverted back to what is expect of socialists politicians, which is money printing, government regulated low interest rates, and all sorts of crazy economic policies that tried to keep the economy growing purely based on government stimulus. Is not surprising that it all crashed afterwards while Dilma was still president, which led to massive public discontent, and eventually to her getting impeached. Just looking at Brazil's GDP per capita graph you can see the clear economic bubble that was created by Lula and his friends. Talking about Lula's friends, he was part of the several corruption scams, that served as ways of getting political support from within the government highest officials, and supreme court. Such high members of government are among the richest people in the country, and Lula's workers party is, to this day, very strongly against ending this people's privileges. Lula also sided with big corporations that were involved in those corruption schemes. Considering that, again I'm not surprised to see that inequality reduction came to a halt after Lula's second term. We still didn't recover from Lula/Dilma's massive economic bubble, and we now have inherited massive fiscal deficits and debt. Current right wing president Bolsonaro isn't helping with that and we are again dealing with high inflation and unemployment. Bolsonaro promised liberal economic policies but didn't deliver (which is not surprising also). We still have one of the most anti free market, weakest currency, and slowest growing country in the planet. In conclusion, I can say with high confidence that Lula's "successful" socialist program Bolsa Familia was just a way of getting support from poor people, so he could get reelected again and again to deploy his truly significant, but very unsuccessful, leftist economic policies, and now right wing president Bolsonaro is trying to do the same thing. Brazil's future is not looking very good, so i wouldn't praise any of it's current or former presidents, like this video is doing.
cara ele é um professor brasileiro, ele sabe de tudo isso, só ta mudando os fatos de propósito por pura canalhice, se fosse um pesquisador americano até daria pra tentar explicar isso
@@LightVelox To ligado. Eu escrevi isso pro pessoal lendo os comentários, e não pro cara que fez o vídeo. Infelizmente esses caras são muito bons em manipular as pessoas. Escrevi principalmente pro americano que não sabe nada sobre o Brasil e tem uma tendencia maior a acreditar no vídeo.
Essa foi a maior vergonha que eu ví até hoje, ter coragem de falar com tanta seriedade que um preso resolveu os problemas de pobreza. Nenhum problema foi resolvido e o país perdeu milhões e milhões de reais
@@NobodyImportant69420 what did it cost? How is your reputation? Are you put on a watch list? Are they clingy about membership like say a cult? Are you open about it offline?
I live in Brazil and the most thing that we have is poor people, since the past 17 years, and today i still see that, also Brazil "dictatorship" didnt killed people because of politic, im a kid but i know about that, actually they executed people because the people wanted "land" and started making crimes while the govermneant was down, about bolsa familia i gotta say, PT actually help, but Lula did way worse things and let me explain, Lula, made money laundry, stealing the population and also the govermneant, and most important CORRUPTION
Yeah, the intention is great! But Lula and PT in general was the single worst thing that happened to this country and they're basically responsible for all the poverty we're currently experiencing ina snowball effect, bolsa Familia is not only still very limited but it also doesn't solve the socioeconomic inequality because it often isn't enought to truly improve livelihood of those who need it but also act as a "election bias" that made them stay in power for longer because of the sheer amount of people in need of it because the government didn't create enough jobs, fix any infrastructure or make any other significant improvements on the country's economy in the states that need it most - the "Nordeste", the poorest region of our contry and the main target of Bolsa Familia - which essentially means they are buying voters. Not only that, but the capital investment used in Bolsa Familia all rode onto the back of the previous presidents, like Fernando Hnerique Cardoso, which meant they only *spent* the money painfully built in the previous government, and didn't actually make it the economy more stable, leaving a whole lot of problems for the next years and presidents. And not to mention the fact he was arrested for being one of the more well known and documented leaders of corruption - a extreme problem in Brazil as a whole - and the majority of the other people arrested are also from PT (along all other parties basically, no one is truly innocent after all). So while the video was well made I don't know if you really were able to portray the full story and end up misleading the folks on your channel with incomplete and uncontextualized information. I don't think yo'ure gonna even see this through but just know that this isn't a personal attack or anything, it's just that Brazil isn't anywhere as close to being poverty free as the video implies and I'm sure you probably are aware but wasn't able to convey it through your analysis in this video. Keep at it though!
it's so inspiring to see these professors of major universities advocating for socialist policies. American politicians like to act like the socialist movement is long dead, but that's far from the truth
@@gavinyeomans the only thing you need to know about socialism is that it didn't work well in any country in the world and 100 million people died because of it, say what you want about capitalism, but you need another answer, not socialism
As a Brazilian myself, I can say that neither Partido dos Trabalhadores nor Lula were socialists, in fact, they defended the interests of banks and using the success of that government as an example of socialism working is unethical
At the half of the video I thought it was so well done and informative, it's a shame to see how much information was omitted, this is literally a propaganda disguised as education video :/
my dear, after the proclamation of the Republic our country went down drastically, with an emperor who spoke Portuguese, English, Latin for a president who couldn't even speak his own language (in which the politician you mentioned who looked like god was so good ) and the lula in your video fueled corruption and ridiculed the Christian God, I'm Brazilian, I know where I live, and I know the monarchy would be better, but I think it's a shame that the Brazilian media blinds the americans so much, it's regrettable.
I am Brazilian and I say with experience of living all my life in Brazil that this video could only be made by someone that does not know anything about Brazil. Lula was not, by FAR, good for us. His assistance policies did not do for us as much as someone from outside may think. It is not by mistake that we celebrated and had parties when we saw Lula being arrested. The reason why Bolsonaro was elected was due to the poor leadership and performance of Lula. We preferred to elected a crazy man rather than elected someone else from the worker's party. This video is a shame for the Brazilians that lived during the government of PT and misinformed anyone intending to learn more about my country
You guys should do a history episode! About how the Incas solved hunger (problematic as all empires are), its still fun to mix in some history and flex our collective imaginations about what is possible.
@@abpaensses there has but the video was praising Lulu for "solve the poverty". I don't hate lulu he did good things but also bad which they did not mention.
"How Brazil solved poverty" Bruh... Speak for yourself. As far as I know, Brazil is a pretty crappy place to be in, it might not be in absolute crumbling poverty like Haiti or Afghanistan, but man, that doesn't mean that povery was "solved". Far from it. A quote that a law student friend of mine said: "as long as favelas exist and their people still wont have access to sewage systems or decent education, as long as this same favelas stay in absolute control of drug lords and militias, and as long as our murder rate continues to be one of the highest in South America, we will never be a rich country." It's been 10 years since he said it. Bastard was right...
Good fucking video. As a brazilian living in the US, it is baffling how incredibly anti-poor (and anti-foreigner) its welfare system is. Bolsa Familia is literally the reason why Brazil got to prosper when I was a teen. People who were completely excluded from the economy got to participate in it, and THAT is what drives the economy, not bullshit stocks in the hands of billionaires. I just hope that one day Brazil will also implement the universal basic income that has already been ratified in its law since 2004. It's horrible that such an important addition to our social safety net has been allowed to languish in obscurity for so long, even though it IS part of our law.
A very biased view on that topic, you only showed a manipulated view of the minuscule good things of the socialist government that we had, giving money to the poor like that is what gave the country one of the biggest debts and inflation in its history, and about the line of poverty, they only reclassified it, creating a new social class called Classe C, a new way of seeing poor people that have the buying power to buy new cars, phones and clothes using installment payments but at the same time living in the favelas without basic sanitation, the exponential birth rate in favelas is a serious treat of depleting social securities and an excuse to use welfare and government social benefits, I know because I live in near it and I know a lot of people who does that...
Americans scream when they see a food stamp recipient buying a steak but totally OK when government giving billions of dollars tax cut to billionaires thinking when the over lord gets richer their live would be better.
There's a question I like to ask people that I feel cuts to the heart of the issue: Which is worse, someone getting something that they don't deserve or someone who does deserve something not getting it? Based on conversations with my parents, it seems many conservatives in the US live in perpetual fear that someone might get something they "don't deserve." They say things like "I had to work my butt off to afford healthcare, why should some lazy bum who doesn't even have a job get the same privilege?" In their mind, there's this massive underclass of parasites just asking for free stuff while refusing to contribute to society. They never seem to consider that the super wealthy might not actually deserve what they have.
As a brazilian I used to look up to the US due to its incredible popularity, even wanted to live there. When I started to learn what goes on there tho, even if the economy is better, I don't really think moving is such a good idea anymore
i moved there for 3 months and it was enough to get dad depressed and bring us back to here. the us is a very sad place to live cause most people are waaay too individualistic and cold, not only that but just the way taxation works there is a joke, we say our taxes are high but you don't want to even think how the us is for the common folk.
I'm Brazilian some things said are wrong. First, Lula created the "Bolsa Família" program, unifying the social programs of the previous government, in the same way as Bolsonaro. Secondly, they do not mention the government of Dilma Rousseff, which was also the PT, the worst government, second only to the current government of Bolsonaro. Third, the Brazilian military regime began so that Brazil was not a communist dictatorship, it was to return power to the population the following year, there was even a referendum in Congress at the time. The problem is that, once they came to power, they didn't want to leave Brazil had very fragile institutions at the time. Brazil is a land of opportunities, populist and corrupt people like Bolsonaro and Lula are the main reason why a large part of the population is starving and does not have the least. If you go to a favela, you will see cell phones, internet, television, the only things that don't exist are health, education, security, things that the state should give, funny isn't it?
being a brazilian i thought slums existed all over the world. but from what the video showed I don't think so now. or the video says that there is elsewhere, is it just that I got it wrong?
You have literallly no idea of what is communism lol. You could probably say social-democrat propaganda, or lib-left propaganda lol, but Bolsa Familia didnt solve poverty it reduced it, and except the outrageous title and some political bootlicking the video is very accurate.
As a Brazilian, I can safely say that corruption in Brazil has ALWAYS existed. The biggest difference between PT's office and prior offices is that during theirs, corruption was actually being investigated instead of hidden.
Just one little detail: Bolsa Familia was designed by an orthodox economist, Ricardo Paes de Barros. It is inspired in Friedman's negative income tax idea. Lula himself complained about similar focalized programs that came before such as Bolsa Escola. It was not a "socialist" program. Socialista in Brazil were pro-universalist programs, while more orthodox economista favored focalized programs. Lula had many orthodox economists in his economic team in his first term, despite his leftist roots.
The person who created the "Bolsa Família" was Fernando Henrique Cardoso. It was called the "Programa Nacional de Renda Mínima". Lula just changed the name and maybe improved something. And this is happening again like the Bolsonaro example. It just changed the name to "Auxílio Brasil". "Bolsa Família" has existed since the FHC's government, but there are people who think it was created by Lula... (Português) Quem criou o "Bolsa Família" Foi Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Se chamava "Programa Nacional de Renda Mínima". Lula apenas mudou o nome e talvez tenha aprimorado algo. E isso está acontecendo de novo como o exemplo do Bolsonaro. Apenas mudou o nome para "Auxílio Brasil". "Bolsa Família" existe desde o governo de FHC, mas tem gente que pensa que foi criado pelo Lula...
In Mexico AMLO established the pension for the elderly since 2001, when he was head of government of the country's capital. Now in the presidency of the republic since 2018, he has established a series of economic supports for the elderly, farmers, students, first jobs and small business entrepreneurs. But the owners of media channels spread the black legend that this is only to help the lazy, and win popular support for a coup, as in Cuba or Venezuela. They never mention that the countries of northern Europe also provide universal pensions for the most needy.
As a brazilian, I have to say that this video really speaks the true about the story of my country. Is sad to see lots of people being so blind about this topics
"Speaks the true" porra nenhuma, esse vídeo acumula tantas imprecisões que parecem bobinhas mas juntas transformam o vídeo em um crime (sentido figurado de crime)
