Lula

[Doug Henwood]

So the guest I interviewed on the radio Thursday - Geisa Maria Rocha, 
who wrote a piece on the recent political economy of Brazil for NLR's 
July/August issue <http://www.newleftreview.net/NLR25001.shtml> - 
says that Brazilians are "mild" and "not radical" and therefore not 
likely to rebel against Lula's betrayal. What do you think?
