I'll give a quick summary of what's happening in Brazil and a little bit of historical background.
Brazil is a socialist hellhole. It's so socialist/communist that even its people don't recognize that every single idea they have in their heads was influenced by decades of socialist indoctrination in their schools and media. Conservative or libertarian values are concepts so alien to a brazilian that if you present them to a basic bitch economics lesson they'll marvel (or get angry) at the newly presented information.
So every time you hear a brazilian labeling something in the political spectrum, take it with a large grain of salt, expect them to be extremely leftist and anything to the right of them is extreme right.
Brazil had leaders that implemented fascistic/sindicalists ideas directly from Mussolini's toolbox, resulting in horrible economic policies that have destroyed any chance of economic growth.
The country has been under heavy socialist rule since the military dictatorship. Do not listen to any brazilian that says that the military dictatorship was right-leaning, they allowed communist infiltration in the universities, schools and every sector of the state. They imposed retarded protectionist policies that killed the computer and car industries of the country. The car industries are STILL under these policies for over 70 YEARS and they're SHIT. There's also plans to extend these policies to 2070.
The biggest communist party here is PT, the Workers Party. They've ruled the contry for over 16 years now. The state is basically 90% leftist.
After Bolsonaro won in 2018 by being what an american would consider a centrist, he enacted policies which reduced the size of the state, obviously angering every branch of government and media. He got the Trump treatment, obviously.
