You clearly don’t know Brazilian politics, but I already explained how unusual that is for a leftist politician like Lula who tries to appear moderate to appease the right. He straight up said he was very happy because for the first time ever, the supreme court will have a communist minister (appointed by him). Dino being a communist was a fact that only the opposition was using, to attack him and his appointment for the supreme court.
“They accuse us of being communists, as if we would be offended by that. We are not offended.”
“We would be offended if they called us Nazis, neofascists, terrorists. But never a communist, a socialist. That doesn’t offend us. It makes us proud many times.”
Name-dropping communism astonishes you? Would Pol Pot astonish you?
