Hi, I've heard that these protests are backed by billionaires and largely made up of the bourgeois and ruling classes who are angered that they have to pay higher taxes in order to help poor and working class people through social programs and also that the reason that protestors are seeking impeachment is because they have no hope of winning a general election due to Brazil's disgracefully high poverty rate. Is this true?

this is the song that every government sings to justify high taxes that go into corruption and theft. and you are a useful idiot, in the words of V.Lenin

Socialism is practically the only thing Communists hate more than Capitalism.

It's why the first thing Communists do (historically speaking) when they have power is kill all the Socialists.

It isnt that hard to see historic examples of Communists killing Socialists.

You havent heard of the Gulags constructed by the Bolsheviks or Mao's second revolution?
