[Xmca-l] Re: Burning...

[Wagner Luiz Schmit]

Amazon is burning, but also:

There is a genocide of indigenous people.
There is a genocide of the poor (helicopters are dropping grenades on
favelas, but only favelas  not controlled by the militias - because the
Bolsonaro family is very very close to the militias).
There is a total privatization of the Brazilian State.
There is the destruction of Brazilian science (probably I won't go to ISCAR
next year for I do not have money, nor the public university where I study).
There is a total subservience to USA.

Back to the forest, why it burns? For the profit of big real state
speculators, to grow soy (to sell to China) and to make beef (to many parts
of the world).

There is strong evidence that all this started with the lawfare promoted in
Brazil by USA government through the Car Wash movement and the same fascist
powers that moved Brexit, Trump and now the protests at Hong Kong (You can
see Steve Bannon's fingers everywhere). USA done this in 1964 with the
military, and in 2016 through a legislative coup.

Some people say that it is not impossible for Brazil to became the Puerto
Rico of this century.

What keeps me going is the application of Marx and Vygotsky in my classes
and my understanding of the world, without it there would be only despair.
