Ok, so this is my first post here.
Im from São Paulo, Brazil, well-known for the "pixo" art and violent riots. You guys may know that Brazil is one hell of a country. The biggest problems around here is the corporatism, especially with tight hands with the USA imperialism. Police here is our real enemy. They don't respect any laws, they kill people every day (according to the UN, brazilian militarized police kill 4 people each hour, more than in the US). Slums is growing faster each day, mainly because property speculation and the process of urban gentrification. The gap between the rich and the poor is fucking huge and the corruption is an growing cancer that steals money from the state services. Another big problem is the disrespect for native indians, wich get killed every minute by landowners. Resuming: Brazil is hell, a fucking brothel for the international big capital. By the way: our government is NOT a leftist government. 40% of our GDP is sent to bankers and IMF.
Left organizations in Brazil gained respect last year, when millions of people took the streets because the bus fare increase. The media, since then, criminalize EVERY fucking movement that questions the government, the corporatism, and the monopoly of information. "Rede Globo", same as Fox News in the US, is a example.
Since the last year, marchs and protests are getting smaller and smaller, but very consistent, combative and political oriented. Movements like "Anti-FIFA" can mobilize between 5,000 and 10,000 in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the two biggest cities in Brazil. But the most organized and revolutionary movement in Brazil is the "MST" ("Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem-Teto", or "Movement of Homeless Workers), wich appeals for land reform and anticapitalism. They can mobilize between 10,000 and 50,000 of people, at any moment. Just look for "Marcha do MST" in Google and you will see a wave of red shirts marching for hours and occupying huge lands swinging sickles in the air.
This year, the youth leftist movement, formed mainly by students, took the streets to protest against the FIFA party, that get between 250,000 people expelled from their homes for the construction of stadiums, parks and other shits. In the slums, the militarized police kill people every day so the city can be cleaned for the tourists and the big politicians from other countries. You may have seen that footage wich the police dragged a poor woman stucked in a car, for meters and meters in the asphalt. Probably they were going to dump the corpse, since the woman already have shoted 3 times in the chest, by the police. That woman died.
Since the 2013 protests and riots, the police get more violent every day. Many journalists get blind by rubber bullets shoted by the police. 13 people died in protests since last year.
I can't post links and videos, but soon as i get 25 posts quota, i post some videos for you.
PS:I was in almost every riots that u guys see in the news and videos.
Any other informations about the leftist movement, politics or social scenario in Brazil, just ask me!
