Former Marxist guerrilla sworn in as president of Brazil

[BlackAsCoal]

Dilma Rousseff is Brazil's first female president, taking over from the immensely popular Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The new president hopes to keep the country's booming economy on track while advancing her Workers' Party social agenda.

----

The Workers' Party candidate takes control of an economy that is expected to grow 7.5% this year and to lead the region out of the global recession. She also takes the helm of a nation that gained enormous visibility and prestige under Lula's presidency.

Relations with the United States are in flux, with the Obama administration pleased with Lula's regional leadership as a counterweight to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez but upset over his attempt last year to broker a deal ending Iran's international isolation over its nuclear program. On Sunday, Chavez will be the first foreign leader with whom she meets.

It is bad news for us because of what she IS. And because of whom she is siding with.

It's obviously way over your head.

I'll let someone else figure it out before I clue you in on the obvious.

Brazil was the last nation in the Western world to abolish slavery.

Now it looks like an up and coming world power.

 

[Sunni Man]

Brazil is the economic power house of South America.

The other S.A. nations look at Brazil as a political/economic role model.

[mdn2000]

Hillary held hands with the Marxist President, for as long as she stood in front of the Marxist president of Brazil Hillary was holding both hands of the Marxist president of Brazil.

Coincidently the next in line after Hillary was Hugo Chavez, I say more than a coincidence.

I watched it here in Brazil on the Television.

Clinton is a Marxist, why else is she refusing to release her thesis from college.

From Monthly Review

"In 1964, as a youngster, Dilma saw Brazil swept under the military dictatorship which killed and tortured many of her fellow students, intellectuals, and progressive politicians, and she joined the communist urban guerrilla movement against it.

"After being hunted, arrested, and tortured, this 'tropical partisan' rebuilt her life in the late 1970s as a local political advocate for Leonel Brizola, an old-fashioned leftist leader in Brazil who was then vice-president of the Socialist International.

"It was not until the late 1990s that she would join Lula's Workers Party, an avant-garde post-Marxist party which, interestingly, had 'self-management' among its original program's key points."

Anyone know why this thread was moved to Africa?
