  • I accepted a job as a teacher in a remote village somewhere in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest. Too much poverty, too many people living (or literally dying) without their basic needs met, and after 2.5 years I was simply too disgusted with our economic and social structures to not be radicalised.

    Then I started to read and watch videos about Anarchism, Socialism, and Communism. I joined a union. I talked to some friends about politics, and they guided me into the basics. Eventually I narrowed my interest to Marxism-Leninism.










  • Yep, PCO is terrible. Also, completely irrelevant in the national scenario. Shunned by all other marxist organisations. They do make some noise with their non-sense from time to time. Before this, the last time I heard of them, they were doing a go-kart race with a fascist organisation (MBL). No marxist in Brazil was perplexed by their bullshit, though.

    @Conselheiro added some good information. I typed a lot, then deleted it. I think his report is better, quite accurate and extensive. Though I don’t know how “honest” can a reformist party be. He also missed the other trostkist party, PSTU. They’re less weird than PCO, but… quite irrelevant, honestly? Just for the sake of completeness.

    I’ll also add that maoist/LCP militants are often assassinated. But that goes without saying, for the rural land owning class is as powerful and ruthless as in most former colonies.
