Facism Takes Brazil
This Is Hell
01 Nov 2018
🖨️ Print Article

If there is an African world, and that African world has eyes, they are fixed on Brazil right now, where the majority of Africans taken from the motherland to the new world were landed. BrasilWire's Brian Meir reports on last weekend's election of Jair Bolsonaro, a genuine fascist sympathizer to the presidency of that unhappy country.

If there is an African world and it has eyes, they are fixed upon Brazil this week where a genuine fascist has come to power in the person of Jair Bolsonaro, who has vowed to hand over Brazilian pensions to the private sector and bring Breazil's bloody handed military torturers and Chicago boys back into power.
