Bolsonaro’s 46% is just shy of the 50% he needed to win the Brazilian Presidency, while Workers’ Party candidate Haddad is at just 29%.

While most or all of the rest of the candidates are against Bolsonaro, I still find it difficult to see Haddad winning with these numbers. PredictIt is giving Bolsonaro almost 80% now.

What is Bolsonaro going to be like as President?

He seems to fit the “Trump of the Tropics” label perfectly. Supported by the whiter, richer Brazilians (all the expats voted for him), and supports economic freedoms, anti-China, pro-Israel.

    The Economist - 'Africa's dangerous baby boom'

    Never thought I'd see this.

  2. He did do well. Would be great to read a proper analysis of this, I know Steve had a Brazilian commentator.

  3. One of the important things that may happen with President Bolsonaro, is a real-life experiment in Latin America in the beneficial effects of making guns more available … He intends to loosen gun ownership and carry restrictions for honest citizens, in line with the USA auto-bumper-sticker motto, ‘Fight Crime – Shoot Back!’

    Bolsonaro is able to point out that the 2 countries with the highest gun ownership in the Americas – Canada and USA (yes, no kidding) – are 2 of the 4 countries with the lowest murder rates in the Americas, along with Chile and Cuba.

    The whole EU including still Britain, has about 5,300 murders per year, with 500 million people. With the USA’s 330-350 million population (adding illegals), there are about 17,000 murders (mostly concentrated in urban minority areas). Brasil, with approaching 200 million people, has 65,000 murders. Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico, are amongst the most murderous countries on the planet.

    Africa, tho having huge rates of theft, robbery and rape – in some African countries, it is said one-third of the local women will be raped at some point – has lower official murder rate in most places outside of South Africa. Some say this is because of deceptive counting, but others point out that sub-Saharan Africans can be quite superstitious, with the idea that the ghost of someone you murder, will haunt you and bring you harm.

    在美国,众所周知,平民拥有的枪支越多,就越容易隐藏,犯罪率通常也较低。对于那些努力登记并获得合法隐蔽携带许可证的人来说,暴力犯罪几乎为零。与神话相反,在一些重大案例中,枪支包装者阻止了暴力犯罪或正在进行的大规模枪击事件,但媒体掩盖了这些故事。

    Bolsonaro is going to try this ‘fix’ in Brasil … after some initial blasting of bad guys, it will be interesting to see crime rates go down there, with more guns in good guy hands.

    Notably, the two continents with the highest civilian gun ownership – North America and Europe – have very low crime rates (Yes for all you Yank readers who don’t know, there are maybe 75-100 million privately owned handguns, rifles, and shotguns in the EU … Europe’s capital, Brussels, has two pistol shooting clubs for your classic .45 semi-auto or other handgun)

    反枪支暴徒的宣传伎俩之一,就是谈论美国在“枪支谋杀”方面处于领先地位……因为拉丁美洲的谋杀率大幅上升,往往是犯罪团伙和多名犯罪分子使用刀或棍棒杀人的结果。即使是武术专家也无力防御的攻击者

    博尔索纳罗也可能是杜特尔特式的人物,他将被指控使用 RWDS(右翼敢死队),但尚未得到广泛的纵容和赞扬,就像在菲律宾一样

    以色列的基督徒,其中大部分是阿拉伯人,相当繁荣。 与世俗犹太人不相上下,但仍在做 很好. So they seem to be doing well even in relatively successful societies. I believe AK has written that some 'mercurial' groups tend to do much better in business than what would be predicted by just looking at IQ. Another example would be British Indians, whose average IQ is around 99 or so but tend to outperform that on socio-economic indicators, especially education. My guess is something similar is going on here, but there is probably an IQ differential to boot in LatAm the way it isn't in the previous examples.

He's officially non-partisan - he wants to get some quotes in the MSM in order to increase his exposure - but it's quite clear he is very willing to contemplate why people voted for Bolsonaro without screeching like a harpy.

    关于博尔索纳罗的几句话:人们应该认识到这样一个事实:他最近才转向自由市场经济,而且是半心半意的。他这样做主要是因为他知道寡头们会为此付出代价。鉴于他的言论,西方新自由主义资本将面临国际压力,他需要国内支持者。最重要的是,他是一名军人,而不是经济改革者。最近几周,他甚至在公开场合公开攻击自己的主要经济顾问,这表明他的真实本能比他的政纲更偏左,而且他在民意调查中的表现越来越有信心。

    人们应该对巴西的军事独裁进行研究。 它是 非常 国家主义者,这就是他来自的环境。现在判断他的经济计划将得到多少进展还为时过早,他可能会达成一项“一揽子协议”,由他来决定社会政策,并将经济细节留给他的公司顾问。无论哪种方式,他都不会对此太热心,并且当他变得更加舒适时,他会期待他更多的公开抱怨。我不排除军方发动公开政变,然后抛弃所有芝加哥休克主义的家伙,转而支持守旧派的首选制度,即军方控制一切。

    I've not paid much attention to the subject, so I don't know much about it, but here, in Brazil, it seems to be mostly (Christian?) Lebanese (in politics, Haddad, Skaf, Kassab, Maluf... Alckmin and Murad may be non-Lebanese Arabs? I dunno) and pretty much only in São Paulo and Minas Gerais. They have the well-regarded Syrian-Lebanese Hospital here, so they must be important.

    There's Slim in Mexico, but he's the only non-Brazilian Latin American of Lebanese descent I can readily name (making me no better than most people. Again, I'm sorta ignorant).

  5. 很久以前,阿拉伯人就成群结队地来到拉丁美洲。据推测,目前拉丁美洲的马龙派后裔比黎巴嫩境内的还要多。卡洛斯·斯利姆就是其中之一。

    我完全支持拉丁裔驱逐卡洛斯·斯利姆家族,就像我支持撒哈拉以南非洲黑人对他们的印度寄生虫少数民族进行种族清洗一样。

  6. This guy reminds me of Argentina’s Macri. One of the very first things president Macri did upon taking power was to ban Russia Today from Argentina. Next thing you know he wants to host US military bases and is taking out $50 billion loan from the IMF (which everybody understands Argentina will never be able to repay).

    Not similar to Macri at all, in my view. Macri is only very slightly to the right, opening the country slightly to the market in a traditionally very close economy.. Domestically, Macri has supported gay rights, he's against gun rights. etc. He only seems right wing because Cristina Kirchner (the previous president) was so far to the left.

    I wouldn’t want to be ruled by PT, and would obviously vote for Bolsonaro if I was Brazilian, but I agree that there’s a distinct whiff of America cargo cultism about him which is unlikely to rebound to Russia’s favor, whereas the PT has a pro-BRICS multipolarity focus that’s more in line with the Russian position. Still, Brazil being irrelevant outside Latin America, I don’t know if this should concern us. What material difference does it make if Brazil were to decide to also expel Russian diplomats alongside the US? If anything, his Sinophobic stance is good, since it makes the Russian relationship more important to China (Brazil exports a considerable amount of minerals to China)

    The right in Latin America is traditionally pro-American. Latin America has mostly not progressed to “identitarian” politics yet, so you could compare it to the right in Western Europe during the Cold War.

    And like DFH says, Bolsonaro isn’t another Macri. Macri is a very boring “neoliberal”, and with respect to the IMF loan it’s hardly Macri’s fault that the Kirchners ran Argentina into the ground (yet again lol).

    Argentina was in a bad shape, but there was no currency crisis. Currency crisis developed in the third year of Macri presidency - so the way I see it, Macri owns this crisis. His plan to deal with it (borrow $50 billion from the IMF, spend it propping up the currency) strikes me as idiotic, bordering on treasonous. If this is the best that US-educated "business-savvy" right can offer, they deserve to be chased out of the country.

    Tax cuts without government cuts mostly free the creditor class to collect an ever-larger chunk of economic output in perpetuity. (At least that's the way it has worked, other approaches have not been tried.) A more consistent policy would be to cut government spending, but even the likes of Bolsonaro are usually unwilling to do that.

    沙特阿拉伯支持另一种全球主义,即逊尼派伊斯兰教法的全球主义。

    Israel believes in nationalism for me, but not for thee. They fully support the Jewish diaspora's anti-nationalism, in the name of combating "anti-Semitism".

    Western nationalists don't have 任何 friends in the Middle East.

    事实上,叙利亚和伊朗很可能 hostile to western nationalists than Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, because unlike those three countries, Syria and Iran are not supporting a large hostile diaspora in the West.

    As for Sloppy Steve, he will probably be more of a liability than an asset to European nationalists. Orban, Salvini, the Austrian Freedom and the other serious European nationalists wisely support a non-interventionist foreign policy. Sloppy Steve will probably pressure them into accepting a neoconservative foreign policy based on regime-change wars in Syria, Yemen and Iran for the benefit of Israel and her ally Saudi Arabia.

    The results would be catastrophic for the West:

    1. Europe would be flooded with refugees, and the suffering in the Middle East would provide a pretext for the ongoing migrant invasion of Europe.

    You have a weird perception of reality. From a European perspective, only Hungary and especially Italy are truly positive, because their governments actually seem to be serious about stopping the invasion of Europe.
    Britain still has much higher immigration levels by pre-1997 standards and is on track to be majority non-white later this century, and Brexit won't change that one bit. Austria's Kurz has turned out to be a fraud who will go along with the globalist consensus when it matters, e.g. when it comes to punishing Hungary. And the Poles seem to care mostly about their petty grievance-mongering against Germany and Russia.
    Britain, Austria and Poland are all set to sign the UN global compact for migration. So much for rejecting globalism.
    As for the Philippines, Brazil etc., who cares if right-wing death squads there kill drug dealers...totally irrelevant in the big picture.

    AK is right.

    Brazil is one of China's relevant oil suppliers.


    To be sure, China was never heavily reliant on the US as a source of crude oil. During 2017, Russia and Saudi Arabia were the two biggest suppliers of crude sent to Chinese refineries (data courtesy of World's Top Exports).

    Tax cuts without government cuts mostly free the creditor class to collect an ever-larger chunk of economic output in perpetuity. (At least that's the way it has worked, other approaches have not been tried.) A more consistent policy would be to cut government spending, but even the likes of Bolsonaro are usually unwilling to do that.

His plan to deal with it (borrow $50 billion from the IMF, spend it propping up the currency) strikes me as idiotic, bordering on treasonous.

    新兴市场(淹没式嘿)已经被 King Dollar 压垮一年半了。阿根廷的情况更糟,因为它的状况本来就很糟糕。

    The IMF loan has a variable rate of 1.96% to 4.96% to be repaid in eight quarterly installments--but there's also a three year grace period. The condition attached is Argentina adjust its fiscal balance from -2.2% to +0.5% by 2021, which is the sort of thing you want to do when your currency is under pressure and you have inflation anyway.

    因此,我们讨论的是八个季度付款,每个季度付款 6.5 亿美元,而且不会很快开始。与大家所说的相反,阿根廷实际上可以偿还这笔钱(前提是他们不选举“玻利瓦尔”政府)。

    Argentina's current account is roughly in balance, but Macri's austerity measures should produce a surplus which means servicing the loan will be doable. Of course much depends on commodity markets.

    So really, the loan is not a bad deal at all. People see "IMF" and automatically freak out. I'm in favor of abolishing the IMF, but an IMF loan is not always a bad deal for the receiving country.

    That doesn't mean I favor Macri--he's an unimaginative stooge. Argentina should obviously impose capital controls as well as domestic credit controls, and its reason for not doing so is simply that Macri is blockhead who thinks government intervention is always bad.

    Things like banning RT are gay and silly, but if you're in Latin America then Uncle Sam can do more for you than the Russian Bear. So perhaps not a bad idea--provided you get something for it other than a pat on the head for being a good boy.

    我同意非西方国家的观点,当谈到欧洲时,它们是无关紧要的,或者更有可能是敌对的。但你的欧洲名单太窄了。我们应该使用的标准是一个国家目前是否充斥着移民,以及支持开放边界的一方是否仍然掌权。由此看来,波兰、捷克、斯洛伐克、克罗地亚和斯洛文尼亚坚定地站在欧洲民族主义一边。拉脱维亚、罗马尼亚、立陶宛也处于不发达状态。

    I think it is too early to say about Italy: lots of words, almost no action so far. And both Italy and Austria are already partially overrun by the Third World migration - so an actual proactive action would be required. There are also small positive signs in Denmark and some parts of Germany.

    未来并不难预测,它的参数牢牢植根于今天的现实,数字不会随机消失。从数学上讲,英国、法国、比利时、荷兰和瑞典不太可能避免第三世界“+”的未来。或内乱和种族骚乱。德国正处于一个转折点。

    Argentina was in a bad shape, but there was no currency crisis. Currency crisis developed in the third year of Macri presidency - so the way I see it, Macri owns this crisis. His plan to deal with it (borrow $50 billion from the IMF, spend it propping up the currency) strikes me as idiotic, bordering on treasonous. If this is the best that US-educated "business-savvy" right can offer, they deserve to be chased out of the country.

    新兴市场(淹没式嘿)已经被 King Dollar 压垮一年半了。阿根廷的情况更糟,因为它的状况本来就很糟糕。

    The IMF loan has a variable rate of 1.96% to 4.96% to be repaid in eight quarterly installments–but there’s also a three year grace period. The condition attached is Argentina adjust its fiscal balance from -2.2% to +0.5% by 2021, which is the sort of thing you want to do when your currency is under pressure and you have inflation anyway.

    So we’re talking eight quarterly payments of $6.5bn each which does not begin anytime soon. Contrary to what everyone is saying, Argentina can in fact repay that (provided they don’t elect a “Bolivarian” government).

    阿根廷的经常账户大致平衡,但马克里的紧缩措施应该会产生盈余,这意味着偿还贷款是可行的。当然,很大程度上取决于大宗商品市场。

    所以实际上,贷款根本不是一笔糟糕的交易。人们看到“国际货币基金组织”就会自然而然地惊慌失措。我赞成废除国际货币基金组织,但国际货币基金组织的贷款对于接受国来说并不总是一件坏事。

    这并不意味着我喜欢马克里——他是一个缺乏想象力的傀儡。阿根廷显然应该实施资本管制和国内信贷管制,而其不这样做的原因很简单,马克里是个傻瓜,他认为政府干预总是不好的。

    像禁止 RT 这样的事情是同性恋和愚蠢的,但如果你在拉丁美洲,那么山姆大叔可以为你做的事情比俄罗斯熊更多。所以也许这不是一个坏主意——只要你能得到一些东西,而不是因为做一个好孩子而受到表扬。

    To be sure, China was never heavily reliant on the US as a source of crude oil. During 2017, Russia and Saudi Arabia were the two biggest suppliers of crude sent to Chinese refineries (data courtesy of World's Top Exports).

    I agree about non-Western countries, they are irrelevant – or more likely hostile – when it comes to Europe. But your European list is too narrow. The criteria we should use is whether a country is currently overrun by migrants and whether the pro-open borders side is still in power. Based on that Poland, Czech R, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia are firmly on the European nationalist side. And Latvia, Romania, Lithuania in their underdeveloped way too.

    I think it is too early to say about Italy: lots of words, almost no action so far. And both Italy and Austria are already partially overrun by the Third World migration – so an actual proactive action would be required. There are also small positive signs in Denmark and some parts of Germany.

    Future is not that hard to predict, its parameters are firmly rooted in today’s realities, numbers don’t randomly disappear. Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Sweden are mathematically unlikely to avoid a Third World ‘Plus’ future. Or civil and ethnic unrest. Germany is at a tipping point.

    Tax cuts without government cuts mostly free the creditor class to collect an ever-larger chunk of economic output in perpetuity.

A more consistent policy would be to cut government spending, but even the likes of Bolsonaro are usually unwilling to do that.

    Hence why inflation more or less disappeared after mass immigration started and China became the world's factory.

    特朗普至少在口头上支持公平贸易,即无关税、无补贴、无非关税壁垒。如果没有其他原因,出于惯性,美国忽视/容忍了不太重要的贸易伙伴对美国出口产品征收的关税。转向零关税是美国的一个简单策略。它总是更复杂。美国有主要的支持进口的游说团体,例如沃尔玛。零头寸更容易卖出。我们的大多数贸易伙伴都强烈偏向出口。

    They're benefiting greatly from the US-China trade war. It seems unlikely that Bolsonaro is going to change much. China is Brazil's largest trading partner, and unlike the US, Brazil has a trade surplus with China. About a third of its overall trade surplus comes from its surplus with China.

    我同意非西方国家的观点,当谈到欧洲时,它们是无关紧要的,或者更有可能是敌对的。但你的欧洲名单太窄了。我们应该使用的标准是一个国家目前是否充斥着移民,以及支持开放边界的一方是否仍然掌权。由此看来,波兰、捷克、斯洛伐克、克罗地亚和斯洛文尼亚坚定地站在欧洲民族主义一边。拉脱维亚、罗马尼亚、立陶宛也处于不发达状态。

    I think it is too early to say about Italy: lots of words, almost no action so far. And both Italy and Austria are already partially overrun by the Third World migration - so an actual proactive action would be required. There are also small positive signs in Denmark and some parts of Germany.

    未来并不难预测,它的参数牢牢植根于今天的现实,数字不会随机消失。从数学上讲,英国、法国、比利时、荷兰和瑞典不太可能避免第三世界“+”的未来。或内乱和种族骚乱。德国正处于一个转折点。

    The real issue in Europe is that globo-progressives can no longer win elections, but they remain fully in charge of all relevant institutions. That is a dangerous dichotomy. Historically when that happened some kind of a popular explosion usually followed. With well-fed population that has no stake in the future (they have almost no kids) that might not happen.

    That depends on how seriously Europeans take Bannon's "economic nationalism" argument.

    See his interview on Bill Maher:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egVlN-kBjZg

    The issue most of us are laser-focused on is immigration. But note how incredibly focused Bannon is on economic nationalism. He even describes the tariffs on Chinese imports (and the tax reform law) as an 经济战争.

    欧洲可以从中吸取什么教训?以德国为例,美国积极试图摧毁 Nordstream 2 项目。还有法国,美国阻止了向俄罗斯出口西北风级两栖攻击舰。美国对与俄罗斯和伊朗做生意的二级制裁对欧洲商业的损害远大于美国。

    欧洲的“经济民族主义”(或者可能是大陆主义?)不仅针对中国,而且还严重针对美国。它可能也会受到选民的欢迎,尤其是那些讨厌特朗普的人。甚至可能会颠覆一些厌倦了被美国欺负的建制派。

    that is probably true in the context of a restricted labor supply but in the context of a massive over supply of labor the private sector taking over doesn't lead to economic freedom - it leads to poverty and stagnation

  113. The economy policy of a Bolsonaro administration is unpredictable. Political campaigns in Brazil have that characteristic: no one is held accountable for the promises he makes. This time it is worse, because the promises themselves, by both sides, are shifting, or contradictory, or vague, or a combination thereof. Bolsonaro promises to be tough on crime; he also wants homosexuals to stop being conspicuous. This accounts for at least 50% of his success, and is the ‘sincere’ part of his campaign, I think. Bolsonaro’s economic guru, Paulo Guedes, is an ultra-free-market, Mises Institute guy. He says if Bolsonaro does not follow his script he will walk off from his administration. Brazilian debt is 75% of the GDP, and growing too fast for comfort. It is mostly in domestic currency. Pensions take most of the State budget. The military eat a considerable fraction of that cake, and Bolsonaro is being elected with support of almost 100% of the military, whose privileges he always protected as a Congressman. Judges are also heavily privileged, and Bolsonaro is being elected with a lot of support from them, mainly because his rival, who is, along with many of his party colleagues, being investigated for corruption, is talking about curbing the judicial system’s freedom of action.

    The Alckmin family has no Arab connections. Yes, the word itself is derived from the Arabic, but the Portuguese-descended persons who adopted it as a surname took it from the name of an estate they owned in Portugal. One of them, a politician, encouraged people's confusion and sort of passed off as Arab, apparently because it gave him a certain aura of shrewdness. Read the whole story (in Portuguese) here:

    那不会是不合理的。 我所说的一切都是 有条件 在他的政治支持下。

    布赖恩温特是巴西的美国人,我认为他是该国最重要的英语专家——与大多数努力成为无党派人士不同——刚刚发布了一个 大文章 在他的期望中。 在他的文章中,他讨论了经济学主题。

    他基本上承认我的观点:博尔索 25 年的记录本质上始终是国家主义者。 他最近的“皈依”完全没有信念。 但他提出了一个令人信服的论点,为什么这可能无关紧要:博尔索不是一个自由市场的人,但无论如何他对经济学并不感兴趣。 他的主要内容是法律和秩序以及社会问题。 所以他愿意“放弃”经济学,因为这给了他足够的政治保护来追求他真正感兴趣的东西,他知道这将面临审查并付出政治代价。

    新自由主义经济学不仅使他免受将卢拉关进监狱的国内寡头的愤怒,而且使他免受华盛顿的伤害。 这就是为什么叶利钦受到华盛顿当局如此喜爱的原因——除了他毁掉了一个前大国这一方便的事实之外。 发展中国家的大甩卖是赚大钱的时候,美国寡头当然也想要他们的一磅肉。 只要博尔索奉行亲美外交政策,并让该国被出售以被掠夺,华盛顿特区就会另辟蹊径。 随着血液的流动,所有关于“人权”的讨论都将被搁置一旁。

    我必须纠正这一点。 “国内寡头”都支持卢拉反对博尔索纳罗——毕竟,他们和左翼政客一起发财致富,纳税人买单。

    他们中的一部分人反对卢拉挑选的继任者迪尔玛,不是因为任何深刻的分歧,而是因为她在 2015 年表现出的惊人无能。这样做后,他们预计权力会落入中左翼的 PSDB 党手中,后者自巴西民主恢复以来,一直是建制内名义上的“反对派”。

    他们的错误估计是,他们认为司法机构已经完全被我们所谓的“机制”所控制,而且其中一部分被证明仍然足够独立以进行调查——而调查证明是难以想象的腐败,而且来得如此之快,以至于“机制”没能阻止评委。 当一个泄漏被堵塞时,调查发现了另外三个泄漏。 该“机制”自 2014 年以来一直试图阻止出血,但失败了。 调查带来了前所未有的街头民众动员,基本上是想绞死当权派——于是精明的政客开始走向民众需求,支持独立法官,而军方则为他们提供贴身保镖,因此直接针对他们(即暗杀)他们)变得不可行。

    最终,这一切都让博尔索纳罗受益——这在 2014 年甚至 2016 年是不可想象的。

    最后,不是博尔索纳罗可能或将会“将国家出售以供掠夺”。 左翼分子在 2014 年就已经这样做了。至少博尔索纳罗是我们控制抢劫的最佳机会; 巴西现在太弱了,无法完全阻止它。 但这可能会在几年内改变。

    我们有真正的吉尔伯托·迪门斯坦(Gilberto Dimenstein),他(虽然我真的不是粉丝)的反对意见似乎更为温和。不确定这里的犹太人是否真的对哈达德满意,尽管正如评论者布拉斯·库巴斯指出的那样,至少我们的一些犹太人发表了反对博尔索纳罗的宣言。有些可能是合理的,有些可能是他们认为现在还是 1933 年。

  142. 你好卡林先生,这里是巴西人。对评论者的一些澄清:

    1- 博尔索纳罗 = 马克里?

    不。马克里是一个标准的老式新自由主义者,博尔索纳罗是一个真正的保守派。 马克里刚刚尝试(但失败)使阿根廷的堕胎合法化,即使是过去 18 年来掌管巴西的左翼分子也没有尝试这样做。

    此外,巴西经济与阿根廷的经济非常不同,不仅仅是在规模和多元化方面。 巴西的债务很高(并且自 2014 年以来增长迅速),但与阿根廷不同,它几乎完全以本国货币计价并由公民持有。 因此,巴西在国际金融市场上的风险敞口与阿根廷不同,也不需要它来弥补赤字(目前)。

    2 –中国

    China is very important for Brazil, but not extravangantly so, like for some small Asian or African countries. Brazil’s foreign trade is actually quite geographically balanced and China does not take up a disproportionately large portion of it. Chinese investment has been growing, and it is this, specifically, that seems to concern Bolsonaro (i.e., fear of foreign control of key national assets) – a concern which seems common sense to me. But that’s very far from a trade war: I can imagine negotiations in which greater latitude for Chinese investment in Brazil is exchanged for more support for high-value Brazilian exports to China (Today, Brazil exports mainly soy, but you have seen that 支线飞机 are also one of the main items).

    3 – 民主

    这是一个不费吹灰之力的。 哈达德是与巴西社区党结盟的左翼工人党的候选人。 其官方计划指出,如果获胜,行政部门将绕过议会,通过“与民间社会团体进行全民协商”来制定立法。 还有很多。

    博尔索纳罗是一名军官,有记录显示他是巴西 1965 年至 1985 年军事独裁政权的支持者。由于我想这里的大多数读者对巴西没有具体的了解,对“拉丁美洲独裁国家”的一般类别只有模糊的概念,因此这里有一些关于巴西案例的简要事实。首先,军方的干预只是为了阻止共产党的接管,而且是在该国历史上最大规模的大规模抗议活动的推动下才进行干预,而且他们总是说,当威胁减弱时,就会恢复民主。其次,国会保持开放,最高法院也保持开放。国会以及地区和地方选举职位定期举行选举。第三,就连总统也继续选举产生,只是不是通过直接普选,而是通过国会选举。第四,军队接管时巴西是世界第40大经济体,只有一个很小的工业部门,而他们离开时巴西是世界第八大经济体,拥有南半球最大的工业基础。第五,面对苏联通过古巴支持的城乡游击队,军政权杀害了约8人——这是左翼团体的官方估计。这是 450 年后,在一个当时拥有 25 至 90 亿人口的国家实现的。今天一天内有更多人在巴西街头被杀。这一切都表明博尔索纳罗对军政权的支持 以往 并不一定与他支持民主相矛盾 今晚. Even more because he’s winning.

    4 – 比赛。

    I’ve seen some commenters mentioning a racial divide in Brazilian vote. On the face of it, the more mullato Northeast supported the left while the whiter South supported Bolsonaro, but that’s quite misleading. Contrary to Lee Kuan Yew’s generally accurate dictum, there’s no real racial divide in Brazilian politics and there has never been one. Racial classification is too fluid in Brazil for this to work (although the left’s introduction of affirmative action has begun to foster this in the last two decades). Bolsonaro also won in the mainly mixed-race North, Center, and among the large mixed-race population of the Southeast, and even in the Northeast, where he lost, he got the largest percentage of the vote a non-leftist has managed to get in the last thirty years.

    此外,一些评论者提到缺乏有关巴西的信息。 是的,高楼旁边的贫民窟照片是真实的——但它们大多来自东南部的大城市(圣保罗,约 20 万人口,里约热内卢,约 12 万)。 该国其他地区——以及拥有 200 亿人口的巴西——可能大不相同。 谷歌搜索格拉玛多、卡内拉、新彼得罗波利斯、布卢梅瑙和乔伊维尔等城市的图片,或者直接访问谷歌地图,打开图片,然后随意点击巴西南部内陆的小城市。 你可能会感到惊讶。

    5 - 巴西的特朗普?

    博尔索纳罗在战胜建制派方面堪比特朗普,在这一点上他实际上已经超越了特朗普。 毕竟,特朗普是全国知名的,是一位能够为他的竞选活动提供资金的亿万富翁,并管理了对一个已建立的民族政党的敌意收购。 博尔索纳罗非常不为人知(从他的媒体那里得知的是一个卡通极右翼恶棍)。 他没钱。 His party existed only on paper (it has no offices throughout the country and fewer than 10 elected officials – but now it has become the second largest party in Congress). 他每天只有七秒的电视时间。 所有的机构都反对他,还有所有的媒体和所有美丽的人。 他唯一的优势是大众对社交媒体的建立和巧妙使用的反感。 因此,他设法以特朗普可支配的资源较少的方式击败了该机构。

    自从他的胜利变得更有可能之后,越来越多的部门争先恐后地获得他的青睐。 他在福音派和农民中很早就有了领导。 现在,该国主要的商业和工业联合会也支持他。 但只是现在,当他已经几乎赢了。 更多关于这一点的下一点。

    6 – 博尔索纳罗的经济政策

    由于出身军人出身,博尔索纳罗显然更习惯指挥而不是与“市场”谈判。 他任命保罗·盖德斯为他的主要经济顾问,并公开声明他(博尔索纳罗)对经济知之甚少,并将让盖德斯放手一搏,这显然安抚了市场。 但正如一些评论者所说,人们不确定这是否会成立。

    然而,这里的要点是,这并不真正取决于博尔索纳罗的意愿。 这是一道数学题。 如果没有他(在纸上)承诺进行的重大改革,巴西联邦预算将在 2022 年至 2024 年之间的一年内完全消耗公务员工资和养老金。 其他一切都不会留下任何东西。 而且由于政府的净税收收入在 40% 左右,因此没有财政空间来提高税收。 所以博尔索纳罗在他的经济计划中几乎没有选择。 他必须放松管制(这里有很多事情要做)并降低一些特定的税收,以使经济重新运转。

    一方面前景黯淡。 2003-2016 年左翼政府的末期将谨慎抛诸脑后,给国家财政平衡带来了巨大漏洞,同时对经济的管理不善甚至导致巴西历史上最严重的衰退(2014-2017 年更糟)甚至超过大萧条)。 更不用说他们在世界上发现的最大的腐败计划中获得的所有战利品。

    然而,从结构上来说,巴西并没有那么糟糕。 即使经历了最严重的衰退,农业部门仍继续相对较快地增长。 工业部门虽然严重受损,但仍然庞大且相当现代化,其未使用的产能可以迅速投入使用。 巴西的外贸顺差创历史新高。 现在的利率是过去几十年中最低的。 所以真正的问题只是一个,联邦政府的赤字,它很大但并非无法管理,特别是因为它是本国货币。 如果博尔索纳罗只执行他承诺的几项改革——将一些国有企业私有化以偿还债务、简化税法、社会保障改革以及摆脱阻碍农业和采矿业投资的左翼法规——巴西可以几年后再次开始变得强大。

    7 – 阿拉伯人

    阿拉伯人在巴西非常有名。 我们是少数几个阿拉伯游说团体比犹太游说团体更强大的国家之一,尽管巴西犹太社区也相当有影响力。 博尔索纳罗向以色列示好与犹太人无关,这是对他的福音派选民的安慰。 很难说这里有多少阿拉伯人; 仅黎巴嫩人就有大约 10 万人。 除了左派哈达德,现任总统米歇尔·特梅尔也是阿拉伯人——他是七个兄弟之一,唯一一个出生在巴西,其他兄弟出生在黎巴嫩。

    我们还拥有世界上最大的日裔社区。 巴西人是日本第三大移民群体。 而且……我们会的,这已经太长了。 希望它有用!

    According to the census, and based on self-identification, Brazil is ~50% white, ~40% mixed-race, ~6% black, ~3% Asian (mainly Japanese) and ~1% Indian (feather).

    当然,巴西的种族分类是出了名的不稳定,但另一方面,这个国家幅员辽阔。即使我们将一半的官方白人视为“不是真正的白人”,巴西仍然会留下约 50 万“真正的白人”。这使巴西成为世界上最大的白人国家之一。如果你将三分之二的巴西白人视为“不是真正的白人”,那么仍然会留下约 33 万“真正的白人”——这不是一个小数字。与拥有约 4 万白人的南非根本无法相提并论。

    Charles Murray, of Bell Curve fame, once made a back-of-the-envelope calculation of the likely size of the Brazilian smart fraction. In absolute numbers, he guesstimated it to be equal in size to Germany's. He did this in a lecture he gave in Brazil a decade or so ago, but I can't find the link to it right now. Anyway, if Brazil managed to find these people and put them in the proper positions within its society, it would do quite well even if you buy all the HDB orthodoxy about the uneraltably lower IQ of other groups (besides, the mixed-race in Brazil have high levels of white admixture, much higher than, say, African-Americans, and this, according to HBD orthodoxy, should help them somewhat). Brazil is the world's 8th economy and was briefly the 5th in the mid-oughts. That's not too bad,

    Maybe that's asking too much of the "country of the future". But if Brazil just stopped shooting itself in the foot with leftist policies, and, for example, started imprisoning its criminals, it would do much, much better than it is doing now. That's the promise of Bolsonaro.

    I have to correct this. The “domestic oligarchs” all support Lula against Bolsonaro – after all, they enriched themselves and the leftist politicians together, with the tab being picked up by the taxpayers.

    他们中的一部分人反对卢拉选定的继任者迪尔玛,不是因为任何深刻的分歧,而是因为她在 2015 年表现出的惊人无能。这样做之后,他们预计权力会落入中左翼的社会民主党手中,自巴西恢复民主以来,一直是建制派名义上的“反对派”。

    Their miscalculation was that they thought the Judiciary was already fully controlled by what we call “the mechanism”, and a part of it proved to be still independent enough to investigate – and what the investigations proved was unimaginable corruption, and it came so quickly that the “mechanism” didn’t manage to stop the judges. When one leak was being plugged, three others were being uncovered by the investigations. The “mechanism” has been trying to stem the hemorrhage since 2014, and failing. The investigations brought about unprecedented popular mobilization in the streets, basically wanting to hang the establishment – so savvy politicians began to move towards the popular demand and back the independent judges, while the military offered them personal bodyguards, so targeting them directly (i.e., assassinating them) became unfeasible.

    In the end, it all ended up benefiting Bolsonaro – something unimaginable back in 2014 or even 2016.

    Finally, it is not Bolsonaro who might or will “put the country up to sale to be looted”. The leftists had already done this by 2014. Bolsonaro is the best chance we have of having the looting be controlled at least; Brazil is now too weak to forestall it altogether. But this can change in a few years.

    I strongly disagree. Lula is in jail as I write this. He was leading Bolso in the polls and even Bolso's supporters conceded that Lula was the leading favourite to win until he got jailed. If Lula was favoured by the establishment, he wouldn't have been thrown into jail. It's self-evident. He isn't even allowed to say anything to the media. He's been effectively neutralised.

    我作为一个不喜欢卢拉的人这么说,不仅是因为他在全球金融危机之后的反白言论,而且正如我在上一篇关于日耳曼成就的帖子中向马库斯指出的那样,人们应该始终将个人感受与客观目标分开评估。

    As for PT and corruption, your argument does not hold water. Everyone knows that they looted and were corrupt. But so is everyone else in Brazil. That has nothing to do with being favoured with domestic oligarchs. There was a relentless campaign against PT by the business class and once the recession hit, with the spiralling violence, they saw their chance to push their favoured candidates and Bolso's opportunistic instincts kicked in when he noticed this. Ergo, his sudden conversion to a free-marketeer in order to appease these business oligarchs and get himself political cover/protection. Remember that the media is owned by these same families. Unless he gets a dictatorship, he needs a domestic political base, including in the media. There's a price for everything. Same dynamic in the US. Trump, for all his populist rhetoric, knows that he must keep the neoliberal/WSJ-reading oligarchs happy, otherwise he is left defenceless in the media.

    Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be. Demographically its around 60% mulattos and mestizos, 25% white, and 15% black with an average IQ of 87.

    Under Bolsonaro, it will just be a stable, economically sound middle income country with a more manageable crime rate. I expect nothing more than that for the country as a whole. The rich whites of Brazil, however, do indeed live absolutely world class lifestyles albeit at the mercy of high crime, quite similar to South Africa.

    Replies: @Alin, @Dmitry

    According to the census, and based on self-identification, Brazil is ~50% white, ~40% mixed-race, ~6% black, ~3% Asian (mainly Japanese) and ~1% Indian (feather).

    当然,巴西的种族分类是出了名的不稳定,但另一方面,这个国家幅员辽阔。即使我们将一半的官方白人视为“不是真正的白人”,巴西仍然会留下约 50 万“真正的白人”。这使巴西成为世界上最大的白人国家之一。如果您将三分之二的巴西白人视为“不是真正的白人”,那么仍然会留下约 33 万“真正的白人”——这不是一个小数字。根本无法与拥有约 4 万白人的南非相比。

    Charles Murray, of Bell Curve fame, once made a back-of-the-envelope calculation of the likely size of the Brazilian smart fraction. In absolute numbers, he guesstimated it to be equal in size to Germany’s. He did this in a lecture he gave in Brazil a decade or so ago, but I can’t find the link to it right now. Anyway, if Brazil managed to find these people and put them in the proper positions within its society, it would do quite well even if you buy all the HDB orthodoxy about the uneraltably lower IQ of other groups (besides, the mixed-race in Brazil have high levels of white admixture, much higher than, say, African-Americans, and this, according to HBD orthodoxy, should help them somewhat). Brazil is the world’s 8th economy and was briefly the 5th in the mid-oughts. That’s not too bad,

    也许这对“未来国家”的要求太高了。但如果巴西停止用左翼政策搬起石头砸自己的脚,并开始监禁罪犯,那么它会比现在做得好得多。这是博尔索纳罗的承诺。

    @波兰视角

    我必须纠正这一点。 “国内寡头”都支持卢拉反对博尔索纳罗——毕竟,他们和左翼政客一起发财致富,纳税人买单。

    他们中的一部分人反对卢拉挑选的继任者迪尔玛,不是因为任何深刻的分歧,而是因为她在 2015 年表现出的惊人无能。这样做后,他们预计权力会落入中左翼的 PSDB 党手中,后者自巴西民主恢复以来,一直是建制内名义上的“反对派”。

    他们的错误估计是,他们认为司法机构已经完全被我们所谓的“机制”所控制,而且其中一部分被证明仍然足够独立以进行调查——而调查证明是难以想象的腐败,而且来得如此之快,以至于“机制”没能阻止评委。 当一个泄漏被堵塞时,调查发现了另外三个泄漏。 该“机制”自 2014 年以来一直试图阻止出血,但失败了。 调查带来了前所未有的街头民众动员,基本上是想绞死当权派——于是精明的政客开始走向民众需求,支持独立法官,而军方则为他们提供贴身保镖,因此直接针对他们(即暗杀)他们)变得不可行。

    最终,这一切都让博尔索纳罗受益——这在 2014 年甚至 2016 年是不可想象的。

    最后,不是博尔索纳罗可能或将会“将国家出售以供掠夺”。 左翼分子在 2014 年就已经这样做了。至少博尔索纳罗是我们控制抢劫的最佳机会; 巴西现在太弱了,无法完全阻止它。 但这可能会在几年内改变。

    回复:@Polish Perspective

    我强烈反对。 在我写这篇文章的时候,卢拉在监狱里。 他在民意调查中领先博尔索,甚至博尔索的支持者也承认卢拉是获胜的热门人选,直到他被判入狱。 如果卢拉受到当权派的青睐,他就不会被关进监狱。 这是不言而喻的。 他甚至不被允许对媒体说任何话。 他已经被有效地压制了。

    我作为一个不喜欢卢拉的人这么说,不仅是因为他在全球金融危机之后的反白言论,而且正如我在上一篇关于日耳曼成就的帖子中向马库斯指出的那样,人们应该始终将个人感受与客观目标分开评估。

    至于PT和腐败,你的论点是站不住脚的。 每个人都知道他们抢劫和腐败。 但巴西的其他人也是如此。 这与受到国内寡头青睐无关。 商业阶层对 PT 进行了无情的运动,一旦经济衰退来袭,暴力升级,他们就看到了推动他们青睐的候选人的机会,当 Bolso 注意到这一点时,他的机会主义本能就开始了。 因此,他突然转变为自由市场主义者,以安抚这些商业寡头并获得政治掩护/保护。 请记住,媒体归这些家族所有。 除非他获得独裁统治,否则他需要国内政治基础,包括媒体基础。 一切都是有代价的。 在美国也是如此。 尽管特朗普发表了所有民粹主义言论,但他知道他必须让新自由主义/华尔街日报阅读寡头们高兴,否则他将在媒体上手无寸铁。

    Bolso 从 5 分钟到午夜转换为自由市场经济是 不能 可信的。 他的国家主义本能完好无损。 但正如温特指出的那样,他一开始对经济学并不那么感兴趣,所以只要他能专注于他个人更感兴趣的领域,这并不重要。

    @波兰视角

    好吧,波兰视角,看来我们不会同意。 但让我根据你上次的评论进一步解释我的观点。

    你认为,既然卢拉在监狱里,当权派就反对他。 这从表面上看是合理的。 正如我所说,如果机构不反对他,这个 com 怎么办? 简化的故事是这样的:

    (1) 自 1985 年巴西民主恢复以来,整个政治光谱都被左翼瓜分,左翼是卢拉工人党 (PT),中左翼是费尔南多恩里克卡多佐 (Fernando Henrique Cardoso) 的 PSDB . 其他政党存在并且很重要,例如 PMDB,但它们根本不是意识形态,它们是纯粹的个人主义、利益驱动的实体。 根本没有保守党——也没有保守的媒体,无论是电视报纸。

    (2) 这对精英来说效果很好。 尽管PT和PSDB的平台相同,但它们相互攻击。 唯一的区别在于表现形式,因为 PT 有工会,而 PSDB 有技术官僚(所以我们在巴西说 PSDB 是“洗澡的 PT”)。 PSDB 的卡多佐在 1994-2002 年执政,随后是卢拉在 2003-2010 年执政,然后卢拉选举迪尔玛为他的继任者,2011-2018 年。 双方支持的文化马克思主义计划正在逐步实施,而经济机构则被优惠政策收买——而且,我们现在知道,腐败带来了大量掠夺。 纳税人买单,但美元贬值和大宗商品繁荣的积极外部冲击提振了巴西,因此几乎没有感受到痛苦。

    3) 迪尔玛的政府在 PT 角色的更左翼方面代表了“金属踏板”。 至关重要的是,它极大地增加了政府对经济的直接参与,并且管理不善。 到2014年巴西陷入衰退,需要调整。 但是 PT 在这个问题上存在分歧,这让巴西无所适从。 根本没有政府,因为政府不知道该做什么,因为 PT 拿不定主意。

    4) 在那一刻,机构分裂了。 正如我在最初的评论中所说,对 PT 没有根深蒂固的反对。 这纯粹是因为迪尔玛的无能。 卢拉看到了这一点,并尝试了一场软政变,他将担任部长职务并几乎统治,将迪尔玛变成了傀儡。 她反抗,但最终还是妥协了。 到那时为时已晚,因为数百万人在街头抗议。 抗议活动不是自上而下精心策划的; 迪尔玛仍然得到了大多数亿万富翁和所有工商联合会的支持。 但抗议活动使现在软弱的政府更难恢复权力。

    5)因此,机构分裂,其中一部分人决定 Dilma 必须离开,根据剧本,权力将回到 PSDB。 虽然 PT 提出了抗议,当然,它对这种前景并不太不满意,因为这意味着另一方将进行痛苦的调整,他们可以在清理完烂摊子之后再回来。 如果没有腐败调查,这个计划本来可以奏效的。

    6) 你说“巴西的其他人”都是腐败的,把 PT 单挑出来是不公正的。 你是对的,但你似乎没有注意到其中的含义。 整个 PT-PSDB LED 系统已损坏,或已损坏,或者您有什么。 所以整个系统必须被摧毁。 这是巴西人民的结论。 博尔索纳罗不太可能受到民众对该系统的愤怒。

    7)你说博尔索纳罗转向经济自由主义是为了“安抚这些商业寡头”。 你似乎认为巴西亿万富翁支持自由市场,这是错误的。 巴西是一个相当封闭的经济体,亿万富翁通过 PT-PSDB 政府的贪污发了财。 他们非常不想要任何自由化。 并不是说巴西的深度自由化具有任何政治可行性。 但正如我所解释的那样,有些是需要的,即使博尔索纳罗或任何来领导国家的人不想要,数学也需要。

    你好卡林先生,这里是巴西人。对评论者的一些澄清:

    1- 博尔索纳罗 = 马克里?

    No. Macri is a standard vintage neoliberal, Bolsonaro is an actual conservative. Macri just tried (and failed) to legalize abortion in Argentina, something which even the leftists which ran Brazil the last 18 years didn't try to do.

    Also, the Brazilian economy is very different from Argentina's, and not just in size and diversification. Brazil's debt is high (and growing higher fast since 2014), but it is almost entirely denominated in the national currency and held by citizens, unlike Argentina's. So Brazil is not exposed to the international financial markets to the same degree Argentina is, and does not need it to fund its deficit (for now).

    2-中国

    中国对巴西来说非常重要,但并不像对一些亚洲或非洲小国那样重要。巴西的对外贸易实际上在地域上是相当平衡的,中国在其中所占的比例并不算特别大。中国的投资一直在增长,博尔索纳罗似乎特别担心这一点(即担心外国控制关键国家资产)——这种担忧对我来说似乎是常识。但这与贸易战相去甚远:我可以想象在谈判中,中国在巴西的投资有更大的自由度,以换取对巴西向中国高价值出口的更多支持(今天,巴西主要出口大豆,但你已经看到了 支线飞机 are also one of the main items).

    3 - 民主

    This one is a no-brainer. Haddad is the candidate of the leftist Worker's Party, in alliance with the Community Party of Brazil. Its official programme states that, in case of victory, the Executive will bypass parliament using "popular consultations with civil society groups" to enact legislation. There's plenty more.

    Bolsonaro is a military officer and is on the record as a supporter of Brazil's 1965-1985 military dictatorship. Since I imagine most readers here have no specific knowledge of Brazil and only a hazy idea of a general category of "Latin American dictatorships", here are some quick facts about the Brazilian case. First, the military intervened only to forestall a Communist takeover, and only after pushed to it by the largest mass protests in the history of the country, and they always said that democracy would be restored when the threat had abated. Second, Congress remained open and so did the Supreme Court; regular elections were held for Congress and for regional and local elective positions. Third, even the presidents continued to be elected, just not by direct popular vote, but by Congress. Fourth, when the military took over Brazil was the world's 40th economy and had only a small industrial sector, when they left Brazil was the world's 8th largest economy with the largest industrial base of the Southern Hemisphere. Fifth, facing urban and rural guerrillas supported by the Soviet Union through Cuba, the military regime killed ~450 people - that is the official estimate of the leftist groups. This, in 25 years and in a country of 90-100 million people at the time. More people are killed in Brazilian street in a day today. All this to say that Bolsonaro's support for the military regime 以往 is not necessarily at odds with he's supporting democracy 今晚。更重要的是因为他赢了。

    4 - 比赛。

    I've seen some commenters mentioning a racial divide in Brazilian vote. On the face of it, the more mullato Northeast supported the left while the whiter South supported Bolsonaro, but that's quite misleading. Contrary to Lee Kuan Yew's generally accurate dictum, there's no real racial divide in Brazilian politics and there has never been one. Racial classification is too fluid in Brazil for this to work (although the left's introduction of affirmative action has begun to foster this in the last two decades). Bolsonaro also won in the mainly mixed-race North, Center, and among the large mixed-race population of the Southeast, and even in the Northeast, where he lost, he got the largest percentage of the vote a non-leftist has managed to get in the last thirty years.

    Also, some commenters mentioned lacking information about Brazil. Yes, the pictures of the slums next to the high-rises are real - but they are mostly from the large cities of the Southeast (São Paulo, c. 20 million people, and Rio de Janeiro, c. 12 million). The rest of the country - and Brazil has 200m people - can be very different. Google pictures of cities like Gramado, Canela, Nova Petrópolis, Blumenau and Joinville, or just go to Google Maps, toggle pictures on, and click at random on small cities in the interior of Southern Brazil. You'll probably be surprised.

    5 - The Trump of Brazil?

    Bolsonaro is comparable to Trump in winning against the establishment, and in this he has actually surpassed Trump. After all, Trump was nationally known, a billionaire able to fund his campaign, and managed a hostile takeover of an established national party. Bolsonaro was very much unknown (and what was known from his, from the press, was a cartoon far-right villain). He has no money. His party existed only on paper (it has no offices throughout the country and fewer than 10 elected officials - but now it has become the second largest party in Congress). He only has seven seconds a day of television time. All the establishment was against him, as well as all the press and all the beautiful people. His only strength was popular revulsion at the establishment and skillful use of social media. So he managed to defeat the establishment with less resources that Trump had at his disposal.

    自从他的胜利变得更有可能之后,越来越多的部门争先恐后地获得他的青睐。 他在福音派和农民中很早就有了领导。 现在,该国主要的商业和工业联合会也支持他。 但只是现在,当他已经几乎赢了。 更多关于这一点的下一点。

    6 - Bolsonaro's economic policy

    Since his origin is as a military officer, Bolsonaro is obviously more used to command than to negotiations with the "market". His naming Paulo Guedes as his main economic adviser, with public declarations that he (Bolsonaro) knows little about the economy and will give Guedes a free hand, obviously calmed the market. But people are unsure if this will hold, as some commenters said.

    However, the main point here is that this is not really dependent on Bolsonaro's will. It's a question of mathematics. Without major reforms, which he is (on paper) committed to doing, the Brazilian federal budget will, in a year between 2022 and 2024, be entirely consumed with the civil servants payroll and the old-age pensions. Nothing will be left for everything else. And since the net government tax intake is in the mid-40%s, there is no fiscal space left to raise taxes. So Bolsonaro has very little choice in his economic program. He has to deregulate (much to do here) and lower some specific taxes to get the economy going again.

    一方面前景黯淡。 2003-2016 年左翼政府的末期将谨慎抛诸脑后,给国家财政平衡带来了巨大漏洞,同时对经济的管理不善甚至导致巴西历史上最严重的衰退(2014-2017 年更糟)甚至超过大萧条)。 更不用说他们在世界上发现的最大的腐败计划中获得的所有战利品。

    However, structurally Brazil ain't so bad. Even through the worst of the recession, the agricultural sector continued to grow relatively fast. The industrial sector, though badly maimed, remains large and considerably modern, and its unused capacity can be quickly put to work. Brazil has been having record surpluses in foreign trade. Interest rates are now the lowest in the last decades. So the real problem is just one, the federal government deficit, which is large but not unmanageable, especially because it is in the national currency. If Bolsonaro follows through with just a few of his promised reforms - privatization of some state companies to pay off the debt, streamlining the tax code, some reform in social security and getting rid of leftist regulations which hamper investment in agriculture and mining - Brazil could start growing strong again in a couple of years.

    7 - Arabs

    Arabs are very prominent in Brazil. We're one of the few countries where the Arab lobby is stronger than the Jewish one, even though the Brazilian Jewish community is also quite influential. Bolsonaro's overture to Israel has nothing to do with the Jews, it's a sop to his evangelical voters. It's hard to tell just how many Arabs are there here; of Lebanese alone there are some 10 million. Besides the leftist Haddad, the current president, Michel Temer, is also Arab - he is one of seven brothers, the only one born in Brazil, for the others were born in Lebanon.

    We also have the largest Japanese-descended community in the world. And Brazilians are the third largest immigrant group in Japan. And... we'll, this is much too long already. Hope it was useful!

The current Jewish community is composed by 75% of Ashkenazi Jews of Polish and German descent and also of 25% Sephardic Jews of Spanish, Portuguese, and North African descent; among the North African Jews, a significant number are of Egyptian descent."

Nothing will be left for everything else. And since the net government tax intake is in the mid-40%s, there is no fiscal space left to raise taxes. So Bolsonaro has very little choice in his economic program. He has to deregulate (much to do here) and lower some specific taxes to get the economy going again.

    一方面前景黯淡。 2003-2016 年左翼政府的末期将谨慎抛诸脑后,给国家财政平衡带来了巨大漏洞,同时对经济的管理不善甚至导致巴西历史上最严重的衰退(2014-2017 年更糟)甚至超过大萧条)。 更不用说他们在世界上发现的最大的腐败计划中获得的所有战利品。

    However, structurally Brazil ain't so bad. Even through the worst of the recession, the agricultural sector continued to grow relatively fast. The industrial sector, though badly maimed, remains large and considerably modern, and its unused capacity can be quickly put to work. Brazil has been having record surpluses in foreign trade. Interest rates are now the lowest in the last decades. So the real problem is just one, the federal government deficit, which is large but not unmanageable, especially because it is in the national currency. If Bolsonaro follows through with just a few of his promised reforms - privatization of some state companies to pay off the debt, streamlining the tax code, some reform in social security and getting rid of leftist regulations which hamper investment in agriculture and mining - Brazil could start growing strong again in a couple of years.

    7 - Arabs

    Arabs are very prominent in Brazil. We're one of the few countries where the Arab lobby is stronger than the Jewish one, even though the Brazilian Jewish community is also quite influential. Bolsonaro's overture to Israel has nothing to do with the Jews, it's a sop to his evangelical voters. It's hard to tell just how many Arabs are there here; of Lebanese alone there are some 10 million. Besides the leftist Haddad, the current president, Michel Temer, is also Arab - he is one of seven brothers, the only one born in Brazil, for the others were born in Lebanon.

    We also have the largest Japanese-descended community in the world. And Brazilians are the third largest immigrant group in Japan. And... we'll, this is much too long already. Hope it was useful!

    Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be. Demographically its around 60% mulattos and mestizos, 25% white, and 15% black with an average IQ of 87.

    Under Bolsonaro, it will just be a stable, economically sound middle income country with a more manageable crime rate. I expect nothing more than that for the country as a whole. The rich whites of Brazil, however, do indeed live absolutely world class lifestyles albeit at the mercy of high crime, quite similar to South Africa.

    I strongly disagree. Lula is in jail as I write this. He was leading Bolso in the polls and even Bolso's supporters conceded that Lula was the leading favourite to win until he got jailed. If Lula was favoured by the establishment, he wouldn't have been thrown into jail. It's self-evident. He isn't even allowed to say anything to the media. He's been effectively neutralised.

    我作为一个不喜欢卢拉的人这么说,不仅是因为他在全球金融危机之后的反白言论,而且正如我在上一篇关于日耳曼成就的帖子中向马库斯指出的那样,人们应该始终将个人感受与客观目标分开评估。

    As for PT and corruption, your argument does not hold water. Everyone knows that they looted and were corrupt. But so is everyone else in Brazil. That has nothing to do with being favoured with domestic oligarchs. There was a relentless campaign against PT by the business class and once the recession hit, with the spiralling violence, they saw their chance to push their favoured candidates and Bolso's opportunistic instincts kicked in when he noticed this. Ergo, his sudden conversion to a free-marketeer in order to appease these business oligarchs and get himself political cover/protection. Remember that the media is owned by these same families. Unless he gets a dictatorship, he needs a domestic political base, including in the media. There's a price for everything. Same dynamic in the US. Trump, for all his populist rhetoric, knows that he must keep the neoliberal/WSJ-reading oligarchs happy, otherwise he is left defenceless in the media.

    博尔索对自由市场经济学的 5 分钟到午夜的转变是 不能 credible. His statist instincts remain intact. But as Winter pointed out, he isn't that interested in economics in the first place so it doesn't matter much as long as he gets to focus on the areas where he is more personally engaged.

    回复:@Alin

    好吧,波兰人的观点,看来我们不会同意。但让我根据你最后的评论进一步解释我的观点。

    You think that, since Lula is in jail, the establishment is against him. This looks reasonable on the surface of it. How did this com about if the establishment isn’t against him, as I said? The simplified story is this:

    (1)自1985年巴西恢复民主以来,整个政治光谱被左翼瓜分,卢拉领导的工人党(PT)属于左翼,费尔南多·恩里克·卡多佐领导的社会民主党属于中左翼。其他政党也存在并且很重要,例如 PMDB,但它们根本不具有意识形态,它们纯粹是个人主义、利润驱动的实体。根本没有保守党——也没有保守派媒体,无论是报纸还是电视。

    (2) 这对于精英来说非常有效。 PT 和 PSDB 尽管平台相同,但仍互相攻击。唯一的区别在于表现形式,因为劳工党的工会力量更强,而社会民主党的技术官僚力量更强(所以我们巴西人说社会民主党是“洗澡的劳工党”)。 PSDB的卡多佐在1994年至2002年执政,卢拉在2003年至2010年执政,然后卢拉在2011年至2018年选举迪尔玛为继任者。两党支持的文化马克思主义纲领正在逐步实施,而经济机构则被有利的政策收买 — — 而且,我们现在知道,还有大量腐败掠夺。纳税人买单,但美元贬值和大宗商品繁荣的积极外部冲击使巴西上涨,因此没有感受到什么痛苦。

    3) Dilma’s government represented “pedal to the metal” on the more leftist aspects of the PT’s role. Crucially, it dramatically increased direct government involvement in the economy, and mismanaged it badly. By 2014 Brazil was in a recession, and adjustment was needed. But the PT was split on the question and this left Brazil adrift. There was no government at all, because the government didn’t know what to do, because the PT couldn’t make up its mind.

    4) At that moment the establishment split. As I said in my original comment, there was no deep seated opposition to PT. It was driven purely by Dilma’s incompetence. Lula saw that, and tried a soft coup in which he would take up a ministerial post and all but rule, turning Dilma into a figurehead. She resisted it, but eventually relented. By then it was too late, because the people was in the streets by the millions protesting. The protests were not orchestrated from above; Dilma still had the support of most of the billionaires and all the industrial and commercial federations. But the protests made it even more difficult for a now-weak government to recover authority.

    5) So the establishment split and a part of it decided that Dilma had to go and, according to script, power would go back to the PSDB. Although the PT protested, of course, it wasn’t too unhappy with this prospect, since this meant the painful adjustment would be made by another party and they could return later on when the mess had been cleaned. This plan would have worked, if it weren’t for the corruption investigations.

    6) You say that “everyone else in Brazil” is corrupt and that to single the PT out is unjust. You’re right, but it seems you’re not noticing the implications. The entire PT-PSDB led system is corrupt, or has been corrupted, or what have you. So the entire system has to be destroyed. This has been the conclusion of the Brazilian people. Bolsonaro was the unlikely recipient of popular wrath against the system.

    7) You say that Bolsonaro’s conversion to economic liberalism has been in order to “appease these business oligarchs”. You seem to be under the impression that Brazilian billionaires support the free market, and that would be wrong. Brazil is a quite closed economy, and the billionaires made their fortunes with graft from the PT-PSDB governments. They very much don’t want any liberalization. Not that there is any political viability in a profound liberalization in Brazil. But some is needed, as I explained, it is required by mathematics even if undesired by Bolsonaro or whoever comes to lead the country.

    I was taking issue with your absurd claim that "all oligarchs are in favor of Lula" when the guy is in jail. In a deeply corrupt society like Brazil, those who get thrown into jail are often those out of favour of the powerful. So your statement was and is ridiculous.

    我认为我们的核心分歧围绕着权力的性质。

    寡头们愿意务实的事实应该 不能 被视为他们永久地向一侧或一名候选人倾斜。 他们不断地扫视地平线并进行计算的对冲。

    For example: think back to the Blair era in the UK. They certainly liked him, but they like an unrestrained small-state guy even more. Ruling elites are clever - that's why they are where they are. They understand that you cannot get your preferred political alternative at all times, so sometimes it makes sense to work within an ostensibly hostile party and corrupt them from within. Blair and Lula are both examples of this. This can cause naïve observers to conclude that these powerful people intrinsically 比较喜欢 一方或另一方,而实际上他们只是在巧妙地打牌。

    Once and when a better potential candidate is found, they promptly ditch the guy. That's why Lula is in jail. Despite - or because of - the fact that he polled well above Bolsonaro before he was thrown in jail. Having scores to settle is also a factor working against him. All this adds up to the conclusion that the analysis that Lula is somehow the favourite of the oligarchs and that Bolsonaro is the brave fighter for justice and against corruption is patently absurd and nonsensical. It can only be espoused by a true believer of Bolsonaro, in the same vein that Trump supporters genuinely believe that he is an anti-establishment guy even after endless corporate tax cuts and virtually no movement on the border wall.

    Make no mistake: I prefer both Trump and Bolsonaro over their respective opponents, but I will continue to mock the fervent propaganda that their supporters push in the face of all evidence. Bolsonaro's last-minute conversion to free market economics is also something you have not yet found strong counter to, perhaps because you know it is deeply suspicious and does make him look like an opportunist who took on economic positions in order to suit the preferences of powerful elites. I'm not making Bolso out to be worse than the others. I'm just saying this is how the game is played and Lula and Bolso are both playing it, though the supporters of them both will resist this analysis because it doesn't ennoble either of them.

    That is probably not true. Bolsonaro, as I said in my other post, has strong ties with the Jewish community. It's the rich Jews I am talking about here. Why do you think he chose to recover from his knife wound at the Albert Einstein hospital? Why do you think he was invited to make a speech at Hebraica (and, incidentally, said things about quilombolas that led to a lawsuit for racism...)? Young businessmen have rallied around his candidacy, a lot earlier than election day:

    I agree that Bolsonaro has strong ties to the Jewish community – now. He didn’t have them during most of his career, when his role was that of a far-right bogeyman for the press. I think this is calculation on his part, driven originally from the fact that he did have support from the evangelicals. But this is a glass half-full or half-empty situation…

    你说的有道理。

  162. Fully agree with what you said about violence.

    关于博尔索纳罗的亲美主义,问题相当复杂。 让我再次对此发表评论。

    (1) Brazil traditionally had excellent relations with the United States from independence to the mid-20th century. American historian Bradford Burns named his book about it “The Unwritten Alliance”. Just to exemplify, since I guess these are facts few people know: (a) Secretary of State Seward asked the Brazilian Emperor to offer his mediation between the federal government and the seceding states in 1861, just before Fort Sumter. Emperor Pedro II wisely declined [Brazil was an Empire under the House of Braganza-Hapsburg, 1822-1889]; (b) the first ever visit abroad of a sitting American Secretary of State was that of Elihu Root to Rio de Janeiro in 1903; (c) Brazil entered both world wars in support of the U.S. In WWII, we sent 30,000 men to the Italian front, and would have sent 150,000 if the war hadn’t ended too soon; (d) the original configuration of the United Nations Security Council, as prepared by President Roosevelt, had Brazil as a permanent member. It came to nought because of Soviet strong opposition to the idea, British milder opposition and, above all, Roosevelt’s death before the issue was decided.

    (2) 这一切都意味着巴西对二战胜利后的关系抱有很高的期望。 我们想象它会像以前一样继续下去,美国是我们的朋友,对我们的事务感兴趣,支持我们的发展计划。 当然,现在美国是一个世界帝国,而拉丁美洲只是世界的一个地区,远离战略热点,对美国没有可信的威胁。 当马歇尔计划实施时,巴西也希望收到类似的东西——当然,没有。

    (3) 在冷战期间,正如预期的那样,巴西右翼亲美,左翼亲苏,因此最终结果是一种向美国略微倾斜的中立主义倾向。 但巴西右翼在与美国的密切关系“失去了美好的岁月”之后继续感到沮丧,并希望它能够恢复。 当然,每次都很失望。 1964 年军方接管时,巴西强烈转向美国,希望破灭,1967 年后再次转向中立,1974 年后更加强烈。1985 年民主回归后,我们再次希望得到美国更强有力的支持(那些年拉丁美洲外债危机),而这又没有发生。 当 1990 年代实施温和的自由化计划时,新的希望再次破灭。 当巴西随后遭受货币危机并需要国际货币基金组织的救助时(1999 年 XNUMX 月),美国并不关心,仅仅几个月后,美国就大力干预以救助叶利钦的俄罗斯。 (我记得读过一篇报纸报道,巴西谈判代表问他的美国同行为什么美国如此无助,并听到了答案“因为与俄罗斯不同,你们没有针对我们城市的核弹头”)。

    因此,巴西右翼或右翼政府的记录是对美国寄予厚望,失败,然后纠正路线。 我相信博尔索纳罗会再次重复这个循环。 我的猜测是,他希望/期望他的一般反建制立场将为特朗普在华盛顿的巴西打开大门,并且他的议程将得到美国的支持,尤其是在经济方面。 所以他的亲美主义真的是真诚的,在巴西右翼的旧传统中,尤其是现在特朗普是总统。 但由于拉丁美洲仍然几乎没有在华盛顿注册,而且由于巴西仍然没有核弹头,博尔索纳罗肯定会——恕我直言——感到失望。 然后他会让这个国家回到更加中立的立场,提高金砖国家的形象,等等。我们拭目以待。

    好吧,波兰视角,看来我们不会同意。 但让我根据你上次的评论进一步解释我的观点。

    你认为,既然卢拉在监狱里,当权派就反对他。 这从表面上看是合理的。 正如我所说,如果机构不反对他,这个 com 怎么办? 简化的故事是这样的:

    (1) 自 1985 年巴西民主恢复以来,整个政治光谱都被左翼瓜分,左翼是卢拉工人党 (PT),中左翼是费尔南多恩里克卡多佐 (Fernando Henrique Cardoso) 的 PSDB . 其他政党存在并且很重要,例如 PMDB,但它们根本不是意识形态,它们是纯粹的个人主义、利益驱动的实体。 根本没有保守党——也没有保守的媒体,无论是电视报纸。

    (2) 这对精英来说效果很好。 尽管PT和PSDB的平台相同,但它们相互攻击。 唯一的区别在于表现形式,因为 PT 有工会,而 PSDB 有技术官僚(所以我们在巴西说 PSDB 是“洗澡的 PT”)。 PSDB 的卡多佐在 1994-2002 年执政,随后是卢拉在 2003-2010 年执政,然后卢拉选举迪尔玛为他的继任者,2011-2018 年。 双方支持的文化马克思主义计划正在逐步实施,而经济机构则被优惠政策收买——而且,我们现在知道,腐败带来了大量掠夺。 纳税人买单,但美元贬值和大宗商品繁荣的积极外部冲击提振了巴西,因此几乎没有感受到痛苦。

    3) 迪尔玛的政府在 PT 角色的更左翼方面代表了“金属踏板”。 至关重要的是,它极大地增加了政府对经济的直接参与,并且管理不善。 到2014年巴西陷入衰退,需要调整。 但是 PT 在这个问题上存在分歧,这让巴西无所适从。 根本没有政府,因为政府不知道该做什么,因为 PT 拿不定主意。

    4) 在那一刻,机构分裂了。 正如我在最初的评论中所说,对 PT 没有根深蒂固的反对。 这纯粹是因为迪尔玛的无能。 卢拉看到了这一点,并尝试了一场软政变,他将担任部长职务并几乎统治,将迪尔玛变成了傀儡。 她反抗,但最终还是妥协了。 到那时为时已晚,因为数百万人在街头抗议。 抗议活动不是自上而下精心策划的; 迪尔玛仍然得到了大多数亿万富翁和所有工商联合会的支持。 但抗议活动使现在软弱的政府更难恢复权力。

    5)因此,机构分裂,其中一部分人决定 Dilma 必须离开,根据剧本,权力将回到 PSDB。 虽然 PT 提出了抗议,当然,它对这种前景并不太不满意,因为这意味着另一方将进行痛苦的调整,他们可以在清理完烂摊子之后再回来。 如果没有腐败调查,这个计划本来可以奏效的。

    6) 你说“巴西的其他人”都是腐败的,把 PT 单挑出来是不公正的。 你是对的,但你似乎没有注意到其中的含义。 整个 PT-PSDB LED 系统已损坏,或已损坏,或者您有什么。 所以整个系统必须被摧毁。 这是巴西人民的结论。 博尔索纳罗不太可能受到民众对该系统的愤怒。

    7)你说博尔索纳罗转向经济自由主义是为了“安抚这些商业寡头”。 你似乎认为巴西亿万富翁支持自由市场,这是错误的。 巴西是一个相当封闭的经济体,亿万富翁通过 PT-PSDB 政府的贪污发了财。 他们非常不想要任何自由化。 并不是说巴西的深度自由化具有任何政治可行性。 但正如我所解释的那样,有些是需要的,即使博尔索纳罗或任何来领导国家的人不想要,数学也需要。

    回复:@Polish Perspective

    当那个人在监狱里时,我对你荒谬的说法提出异议,即“所有寡头都支持卢拉”。 在巴西这样一个腐败严重的社会中,被关进监狱的往往是那些不受权势青睐的人。 所以你的说法是荒谬的。

    我认为我们的核心分歧围绕着权力的性质。

    寡头们愿意务实的事实应该 不能 被视为他们永久地向一侧或一名候选人倾斜。 他们不断地扫视地平线并进行计算的对冲。

    例如:回想英国的布莱尔时代。 他们当然喜欢他,但他们更喜欢一个放荡不羁的小国人。 统治精英很聪明——这就是为什么他们在那里。 他们明白你不可能总是得到你喜欢的政治选择,所以有时在一个表面上充满敌意的政党内工作并从内部腐蚀他们是有道理的。 布莱尔和卢拉都是这方面的例子。 这可能会导致天真的观察者得出结论,这些有权势的人本质上 比较喜欢 一方或另一方,而实际上他们只是在巧妙地打牌。

    一旦找到更好的潜在候选人,他们就会立即抛弃这个人。 这就是卢拉入狱的原因。 尽管——或者因为——在他被投入监狱之前,他的民意调查远远高于博尔索纳罗。 有分数要解决也是对他不利的一个因素。 所有这些加在一起得出的结论是,关于卢拉在某种程度上是寡头们的最爱以及博尔索纳罗是正义和反腐败的勇敢斗士的分析显然是荒谬和荒谬的。 它只能由博尔索纳罗的真正信徒支持,就像特朗普的支持者真正相信他是一个反建制派的人一样,即使在无休止的企业减税和边界墙上几乎没有动静之后。

    毫无疑问:我更喜欢特朗普和博尔索纳罗,而不是他们各自的对手,但我将继续嘲笑他们的支持者在所有证据面前推行的狂热宣传。 博尔索纳罗在最后一刻转向自由市场经济也是你尚未发现强烈反对的事情,也许是因为你知道这非常可疑,并且确实让他看起来像一个机会主义者,为了适应有权势的人的喜好而担任经济职位。精英。 我不会让博尔索比其他人更糟糕。 我只是说这就是游戏的玩法,卢拉和博尔索都在玩游戏,尽管他们的支持者都会抵制这种分析,因为它不会使他们中的任何一个变得高尚。

    卢拉入狱是因为他和他的政党领导了人类历史上最令人震惊的腐败活动。 我无法在一篇博文中总结四年的新闻,所以我只会留下最新的。 卢拉和迪尔玛最重要的部长、卢拉和迪尔玛最重要的部长安东尼奥·帕洛奇承认,在卢拉通过行政令批准的 1000 项法律中,有 9 项是为了换取贿赂。 (试图进行比较,想象一下迪克·切尼(Dick Cheney)是否宣誓就小布什政府的运作进行了陈述)。 卡扎菲资助了卢拉的第一次总统竞选,这足以永久禁止 PT,因为禁止从国外接收资金。 这不仅仅是他的话:他向调查人员发送了大量文件和电子邮件。 这只是冰山一角。 我们从 PT 的最后三位财务主管、该党的前国会领导人那里得到了类似的启示,还有很多很多。 在调查中追回的资金——不仅被发现被盗,而且实际上返还给国家或国有公司——数量达数百亿美元。 对于 PT 最高法院来说,情况并没有更糟——11 人中有 XNUMX 人是由卢拉或迪尔玛提名的——尽其所能保护他们,但他们不能当面藐视法律,尽管有时他们会尝试。

    此外,民意调查是谎言。 我不是刚刚告诉你,所有权力都反对博尔索纳罗吗? 根据第一轮投票结果,就在投票前的最后一周,博尔索纳罗获得了总选票的 15%。 这太荒谬了:他已经获得了大部分选票,但民意调查人员却在撒谎以帮助他的对手。 一项审查显示,自 5 年以来的所有选举中,所有巴西民意调查机构系统地支持 PT 反对反对党至少 10%,通常为 2000%。不能知道。 我认为卢拉的表现大约为 33%,比他的替补哈达德高出约 9 分。 卢拉仍然会输掉对博尔索纳罗的第二轮比赛。

    一旦找到更好的潜在候选人

    寡头们再一次没有也不支持博尔索纳罗。 他们中的一些人只是在他的胜利几乎确定的情况下才走他的路。 媒体继续无耻地对他撒谎,并为 PT 报道。 请记住,博尔索纳罗在一个月前被刺伤并差点死了,但媒体对研究潜在的刺客没有兴趣......如果卢拉发生了这种情况,我们会在他第三名时知道刺客的狗的名字年级。

    有分数要解决也是对他不利的一个因素。

    在这里你是正确的。 的确,这是现在对他不利的主要因素。 如果该机构知道,当他们决定放弃 PT(以恢复 PSDB)时,他们会得到 Bolsonaro,他们永远不会这样做。 不是在一百万年。 所以现在我们有一个可信度问题,卢拉如何有意义地表示他不会寻求报复。 如果有一个解决方案,博尔索纳罗会干杯。 一个月前,他又一次差点被一名极左激进分子杀害。

    如果卢拉能够被说服将真正的领导权交给哈达德或其他人就好了……但他不会那样做。 至少目前是这样。 或者他会支持 Ciro Gomes(另一个较小的左翼政党 PDT 的候选人,他曾在 PT 和 PSDB 政府中担任部长 - 我是否提到过他们是同一回事?)。 Gomes would not carry the PT's stigma, while keeping to the same pact, and he had indicated he'd pardon Lula if elected. (实际上,在卢拉入狱之前,他说他会冲进监狱释放他。但这是他没有遵守的承诺)。

    博尔索纳罗是正义的勇敢斗士,反腐败显然是荒谬和荒谬的。

    不是,但不是因为博尔索纳罗是这样的天使。 当然不是,他是一个追求权力的政治家。 但在巴西政治令人难以置信的泥潭中,在国会任职近 XNUMX 年的博尔索纳罗没有任何针对他的腐败案件。 如果有任何事情,我们就会知道这一切,因为新闻界已经绝望了。 他们正在发布消息称 Bolsonaro 未能将他的汽车送到汽车制造商的强制召回! 再说一遍,这不是因为他确定一个纯洁的灵魂,而是因为他在奥弗顿窗口之外太远,无法被纳入“机制”。

    正因为如此,博尔索纳罗有强烈的动机成为“正义和反腐败的勇敢斗士”:这场斗争不可能得到他(或者已经得到了),也不会得到他的支持者(他们没有直到现在,他们还没有机会抢劫)。 它只会伤害他的敌人,包括 PT 和 PSDB。 因此,博尔索纳罗有一种内在的兴趣,可以帮助确保,就行政部门而言,调查继续有增无减,司法机构开展工作。 这不是纯洁,这是政治利益。

    当然,他可能会尝试安装一种有利于他的新腐败机制来取代旧机制。 事实上,如果不是今天的情况,我会说他或其他任何人都会这样做。 报仇雪恨博尔索纳罗的媒体肯定会寻找政府腐败的任何和所有证据,并立即公布,而不是像 PT 政府那样等待五年或十年。 领导腐败调查的法官也很乐意让新博尔索纳罗政府的某个人加入,因为这将有助于证明他们的独立性,并在左派走自己的道路时获得一致支持(因为右派不会容忍另一个公开腐败的政府)。 因此,巴西现在最有可能建立一个相当干净的政府,它已经有一段时间了。 走着瞧。

    完成

    博尔索纳罗在最后一刻转向自由市场经济也是你尚未发现强烈反对的事情,也许是因为你知道这非常可疑,并且确实让他看起来像一个机会主义者,为了适应有权势的人的喜好而担任经济职位。精英。

    嗯,我确实说过它是简单的数学现实所要求的。

    但你的错误是认为博尔索纳罗的自由经济平台,无论真诚与否,都适合“强大精英的偏好”。 它没有。 巴西精英们憎恶经济自由主义,因为他们在封闭的经济中茁壮成长,并且与国家关系密切。 博尔索纳罗或其他任何人永远不会在巴西进行任何自由化革命的原因,而不是他的不诚实(即使存在)。 但是他会被数学逼着做一些渐进式的改革,这比他现在所做的要好得多。

    I was taking issue with your absurd claim that "all oligarchs are in favor of Lula" when the guy is in jail. In a deeply corrupt society like Brazil, those who get thrown into jail are often those out of favour of the powerful. So your statement was and is ridiculous.

    我认为我们的核心分歧围绕着权力的性质。

    寡头们愿意务实的事实应该 不能 被视为他们永久地向一侧或一名候选人倾斜。 他们不断地扫视地平线并进行计算的对冲。

    For example: think back to the Blair era in the UK. They certainly liked him, but they like an unrestrained small-state guy even more. Ruling elites are clever - that's why they are where they are. They understand that you cannot get your preferred political alternative at all times, so sometimes it makes sense to work within an ostensibly hostile party and corrupt them from within. Blair and Lula are both examples of this. This can cause naïve observers to conclude that these powerful people intrinsically 比较喜欢 一方或另一方,而实际上他们只是在巧妙地打牌。

    Once and when a better potential candidate is found, they promptly ditch the guy. That's why Lula is in jail. Despite - or because of - the fact that he polled well above Bolsonaro before he was thrown in jail. Having scores to settle is also a factor working against him. All this adds up to the conclusion that the analysis that Lula is somehow the favourite of the oligarchs and that Bolsonaro is the brave fighter for justice and against corruption is patently absurd and nonsensical. It can only be espoused by a true believer of Bolsonaro, in the same vein that Trump supporters genuinely believe that he is an anti-establishment guy even after endless corporate tax cuts and virtually no movement on the border wall.

    Make no mistake: I prefer both Trump and Bolsonaro over their respective opponents, but I will continue to mock the fervent propaganda that their supporters push in the face of all evidence. Bolsonaro's last-minute conversion to free market economics is also something you have not yet found strong counter to, perhaps because you know it is deeply suspicious and does make him look like an opportunist who took on economic positions in order to suit the preferences of powerful elites. I'm not making Bolso out to be worse than the others. I'm just saying this is how the game is played and Lula and Bolso are both playing it, though the supporters of them both will resist this analysis because it doesn't ennoble either of them.

    在巴西这样一个腐败严重的社会中,被关进监狱的往往是那些不受权势青睐的人。

    在这里你预设了你的结论。我们不是一个完美制度化的民主共和国,但巴西太大、太复杂、中产阶级太多,不能被视为少数家庭主宰一切的香蕉共和国。建制派很强大,非常强大,但他们无法控制一切。博尔索纳罗在空白中出现了,而且运气很好。

    他们明白你不可能总是得到你喜欢的政治选择,所以有时在一个表面上充满敌意的政党内工作并从内部腐蚀他们是有道理的。

    My whole point is that there was no “ostensibly hostile party”. Both PT and PSDB were siamese brothers. Any of them would be OK to the elites.

    这就是卢拉入狱的原因。 尽管——或者因为——在他被投入监狱之前,他的民意调查远远高于博尔索纳罗。

    Lula is in jail because he and his party led the most astonishing corruption racket in the history of mankind. I can’t summarize four years of news in a blog post, so I’ll leave just the latest ones. Antonio Palocci, founder of the PT, the most important minister of both Lula and Dilma, confessed that, out of 1000 laws approved by Lula by executive decree, nine hundred of them were done in exchange for bribes. (Trying to make a comparison, imagine if Dick Cheney stated that, under oath, about the workings of the Bush Junior government). And that Khaddafi funded Lula’s first presidential campaign, which is enough to permanently ban the PT since receiving money from abroad is prohibited. And it’s not just his word: he delivered tons of documents and emails to the investigators. This is just the tip of the iceberg. We have similar revelations from the last three treasurers of the PT, from the party’s former leaders in Congress, and much, much more. Money that has been recovered in the investigations – not just discovered stolen, but actually returned to the state or state companies – numbers in the tens of billions of dollars. Things aren’t even worse for PT the Supreme Court – 9 of 11 judged were nominated by Lula or Dilma -does what it can to shield them, but they can’t flout the law to its face, although sometimes they try.

    此外,民意调查也是谎言。我刚才不是告诉过你,所有权力都反对博尔索纳罗吗?根据第一轮结果,博尔索纳罗在投票前一周获得了总选票的15%。这很荒谬:他已经获得了大部分选票,但民意调查者却撒谎来向他的对手提供援助。一项审查显示,自 5 年以来的所有选举中,所有巴西民意调查机构都系统性地支持劳工党,以至少 10% 的得票率(通常为 2000%)。所以,卢拉的民调并没有远高于博尔索纳罗,或者至少我们认为不可能知道这一点。我认为卢拉的表现约为 33%,比他的替补哈达德高出约 9 个百分点。卢拉仍将在第二轮输给博尔索纳罗。

    一旦找到更好的潜在候选人

    寡头们再一次没有支持博尔索纳罗。他们中的一些人直到他的胜利几乎确定之后才开始追随他的脚步。媒体继续无耻地对他撒谎并为劳工党进行报道。请记住,博尔索纳罗一个月前被刺伤,差点丧命,但媒体对研究这位潜在的刺客没有兴趣……如果这件事发生在卢拉身上,我们就会在他三年级时知道刺客的狗的名字。

    有分数要解决也是对他不利的一个因素。

    Here you are correct. Indeed, this is the main factor working against him now. If the establishment had known, when they decided to ditch the PT (to get the PSDB back), that they would get Bolsonaro instead, they’d never do it. Not in a million years. So now we have a credibility problem, how Lula can meaningfully signal he won’t seek revenge. If there was a solution to that, Bolsonaro would be toast. Again, he was almost killed by a far-left activist a month ago.

    If only Lula could be convinced to relinquish real leadership to Haddad or someone else… but he won’t do that. For now at least. Or he’d have supported Ciro Gomes (candidate of another smaller leftist party, the PDT, and who was minister in both PT and PSDB governments – did I mention that they’re the same thing?). Gomes would not carry the PT’s stigma, while keeping to the same pact, and he had indicated he’d pardon Lula if elected. (Actually, before Lula was jailed, he said he’d storm the prison to free him. But that’s a promise he didn’t keep).

    博尔索纳罗是正义的勇敢斗士,反腐败显然是荒谬和荒谬的。

    事实并非如此,但这并不是因为博尔索纳罗是一位天使。当然不是,他是一个追求权力的政客。但在巴西政坛令人难以置信的泥潭中,博尔索纳罗在国会任职近三十年,却没有针对他的腐败案件。如果有什么事情,我们都会知道,因为媒体已经绝望了。他们正在报道博尔索纳罗未能将他的汽车送交汽车制造商强制召回!再说一次,这并不是因为他确信有一个纯洁的灵魂,而是因为他离奥弗顿窗口太远,无法被纳入“机制”。

    Because of this, Bolsonaro has a strong incentive to be a “brave fighter for justice and against corruption”: the fight won’t possibly get him (or it would have already), and neither will it get his supporters (who did not hold elected office until now, so they haven’t yet had the opportunity to loot). It will only harm his enemies, both of the PT and of the PSDB. So Bolsonaro has a built-in interest to help ensure, as far as the Executive goes, that the investigations continue unabated and that the Judiciary does its work. It’s not purity, it’s political interest.

    Of course it’s possible he’ll try to install a new corruption mechanism in his favor to replace the old one. Indeed, I would say he or anyone else would do that if it weren’t for the way the situation is today. The press, which hates Bolsonaro with a vengeance, will surely look for any and all evidence of corruption in the government, and will publish it immediately instead of waiting for five or ten years as was the case with the PT governments. The judges leading the corruption investigations would also love to get someone of the new Bolsonaro government, as this would help prove their independence and get unanimous support as the left goes their way (since the right will not tolerate another openly corrupt government). So Brazil has now the best chance at a somewhat clean government it has had in quite some time. We’ll see.

    But your mistake is thinking that Bolsonaro’s liberal economic platform, sincere or otherwise, suits “the preferences of powerful elites”. It doesn’t. Brazilian elites abhor economic liberalism since they have thrived on a closed economy and in close connection with the state. That, and not insincerity on his part (even if it’s there) is why Bolsonaro or anyone else will never make any liberalizing revolution in Brazil. But he will be forced by mathematics to do some incremental reforms, and that will be a hell of an improvement over what he have now.

    That's the wrong analogy. I would blame the leftists in media and politics who promote black violence and inhibit defense against such violence. Likewise, the neocons who funded and armed the Syrian conflict and then supported refugees into Europe would be responsible for the violence in Europe. I would fully support Europeans or European regimes identifying, targeting, and terminating those neocons in extrajudicial killings for their crimes. And I would certainly vote to acquit in any jury trial for charges of murder brought against Europeans for targeting those neocons.
