James Petras — Brazil: President Rousseff Declares War on the Working Class

Et tu, Dilma?

Whatever gains were made between 2003 – 2013 will be reversed. Brazilian workers face a ‘decade of infamy’. The Rousseff regime has embraced the politics of “savage capitalism” as personified in the appointment of two of the most extreme advocates of neo-liberal policies

Good analysis, but depressing outlook. Look for rising social unrest in Brazil and more brutal repression to administer shock therapy. Brazil faces more dark times.
