That's not the same at all. Just no. Not before Gen X has died out at least. The huge majority of people still think "news is tv", and for educated people it's "news is newspapers". Fixed. I heard that in vast areas of the south, Alex Jones is literally the only radio you can receive. Even if that's not true the point stands. Ditto for Fox News. You can't just ignore the immense hold things like this have on minds, then crash again and again on the wall of brainwashing in people's head every single time. You can't just spend all your energy fighting for things then have everything either ignored or shown completely deformed and contextless on tv, then have the rest of the country turn against you. I'm speaking broadly of course but that's the gist of what's happening to socialism.
Not socialist. To establish their own propaganda. Socialists need to do the same, but from the bottom-up, or it will be called "stalinist" and cracked down on. I'm not saying nobody talks about media. I'm saying nobody talks about how to introduce theories like this, precisely, to the mass of people. And I mean *actually* introduce, in a serious manner. Have that be the daily 7pm show instead of propaganda.
Is there any parallel in history comparable for what is happening in Brazil right now? I never read about a lockout that have support of the workers.

But that makes no fucking sense they literally cheered on a coup against a democratically elected socdem limp wrist president and installed a full blown right wing regime in power. What the fuck do they have to blame besides themslves???

Socialism is when the government exists and you get charged an extra .50 cents on Mcdonalds to pay for roads.

The average brazilian on internet is a mix of a neocon and a lolbertad, in their heads, socialism is when the government do stuff, is the same people who accuse the biggest media conglomerate of the country for being communist.
Eh, too early to tell; although not surprising considering her main opposition is Aecio Neves who literally got caught twice with half ton of cocaine in his family lands.

remember that brazil has more unironic ancaps than any other country except maybe america.
