I would ask this on the Marxism list. There are a number of Brazilians who
lurk there. I suspect that the Workers Party is stuck on the horns of a
dilemma. It is too much of an electoral formation to ever challenge
capitalist rule, and is also too radical to win electorally. It is roughly
in the same position as the Cardenas party in Mexico, which is left-wing
but not revolutionary.
