Started off as a youth movement but it's picking up a lot of steam in the last 2 days. Big protests are planned throughout the next few days due to worldwide coverage for the Confederations Cup.

People are saying they will protest at the World Cup next year and impede traffic if demands are not met. The Brazilian President was even booed at the start of the cup.

Real good chance we are witnessing a socialist revolution starting to form.

All my family over there supports it. Major protests are still planned.

Most fukked up thing is the current President was a Marxist Guerrilla and Union leader in her younger days. She was also arrested and tortured by the government back then too.

It's because a large portion of the population always feels like they have a shot at becoming a millionaire and part of the wealthy group, even though the statistics and studies don't back this up. Thus, they don't want to limit their own delusional future.

lula had a similar background as well, don't think he was a guerrilla though, sad.


There's a lot of underlying social issues and social currents in the country with a population that is well informed and imo well educated so we'll see what happens. Even the people I know that are well off see the issues for what they are want change.
