I guess you know nothing about Politics, specially in South America, so i will translate it to you. Lula knows the senate, he knows that there is no way this would be approved, but doing as he did, people like you would believe he wanted to change anything. He has other instruments to change it, if he really wanted. This is simply virtue signaling. Why trust the internet dude? Marina Silva, a strong person in the eco…

Every single one of the links you post directly contradict your given summaries. You're lying and you're not even very good at it. You're right, why trust the internet, especially anonymous forum commenters with no reputation to uphold?

educate us: how can he become better at lying?

> Taking into account the most economical outcome in the short/medium term also can make your country or community poor in the long term. If you care about the future of where you live, its important to cultivate and support local industry, even when its more expensive. Your solution is the short-term one, maybe not even that. In the long run, your community is much better off producing what it does best and trading…

Your reply comes right out of ECON 101, and is broadly speaking correct. Still, you've missed the point. Let's use your example, Microsoft. Companies have different incentives than communities or countries, but I think we can make this work. For many years, Microsoft only sold software, and let others who were experts in hardware make the hardware and install microsoft on it. Later, they realised that it was strategi…

> Your reply comes right out of ECON 101

What a bizarre things to say. First of all, are you an economist who can comment on other people's sophistication? Second, who cares? The merits are what matters, and you agree it's "broady speaking, correct".

Again, is common in Politics, knowing that a propose has now change to be approved, politician A or B submit it to be voted, just for Virtue Signaling. Lula as president, has other instruments, to make it happens, other than going through the senate. Was the same thing with the oil drilling in Amazonas, shortly blocked by technicians and not by politicians. As you can see in the article, Lula was pro-drilling, but now he just stepped down from the discussion, because he saw that it could be bad for his image.

In America, maybe. In Europe, the social-democracy it's a big spectrum. There's the liberal left, the tankie left, the conservative left (which in the end it's 99% close to the Italian/Spanish Fascism), and the libertarian communism, also known as Anarchist comunes, but you need highly educated people there. No, not rich, just truly educated. In scientific and technological fields. On Russia, today they're closer to…

it is actually not different than Soviet Union under Staling. So wasn't Staling a Socialist? Check this out: " LGBT themes and issues faced increasing official government censorship and a uniformly harsher policy across the entire Soviet Union. Homosexuality was officially labelled a disease and a mental disorder in the late 1920s (specifically over a period from 1927 to 1930)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_his…

You have conservative left and socially liberal right.

This is lazy, learn what communism is; it's not hard.

it is so hard because it either doesn't work at all or people trying to implement it didn't get it right.. :)

Wouldn't disagree that it doesn't work
