Couldn't find any good sources in English, but thought it might be interesting to let y'all know.

Edit: ITT: Brazilians arguing in English.

Some of.those parties are not monolithical structure, PSOL have some good folks like Erica Hilton who wrote this proposal as well as Glauber Braga and Samia Bonfim, plus PCBR and UP also supported this project, and for Brazil they are as left as it gets. So I'm all for this movement is a return of the left in the streets, which is where the left thrives, in movement. This is the way for the Brazilian left get in touch with the working class who we've been loosing to the right for a long time.

You have a faith in psol thst i do not. I saw a lot of shit from them over the years. I wish things were as you say, but until we get anything concrete i keep my doubts. By the way, none of those parties go leftier than socdem with marxists phrasing. Pco is the only marxist party in Brasil

I thought it was someone who is on PCO side, leave it to them to be against the people, and they won't disappoint

Exactly. Also FreudianCafe is an avid PCO defender. I responded to them before on Hexbear and just like here they were hellbent on defending every single PCO stance uncritically while claiming it is the only Marxist and anti-imperialist party.

His talking points in this very thread are the exact same stance PCO is taking on the VAT movement you can find it on their news page. Literally aligning with the right, like PCO always do.

This person is just a reactionary in leftist clothing.

Everyday I come closer to believing the claim that PCO is just a bunch of nazbols.

I have no doubt about it I just believe that here on grad it's worthy to make explicit the incoherence of the argument independently of how credible or not is the person providing the argument, the argument must be undone on it's merits or more specifically their lack of merit

Oh I agree 100%, I was just providing further context of this person's views and behavior.
