First time on the board, thought it might be interesting. So,

this is more of a /pol/ thread, but I will gladly discuss the empire of brazil

>>1640886
Please do.

>13 years later the country is way better financially and equal between social classes, if not for Rousseff
Sure, this is why no one can find a job and half of the country is dependent on welfare.

>>1640903
About the welfare, the majority of the population always needed it. 3rd world for a reason.
But about the unemployed, shit really went downhill on 2014 onwards. I'd give you graphics about it, but Rouseff was accused of precisely faking the government economy by making illegal transactions on it's behalf. So the numbers would be misleading.

>>1640903
It is better financially compared to late the 90's (from about 80% gross debt to 66% last year), though as >>1640886 stated, this isn't /pol/.

>>1640956
But you guys also debate political views. I've seen one or two threads about Marx.
That was my intent. What would you do if you took over Brazil?

Brazil needs integralism.

>>1640892
Not him, but Pedro I and Pedro II were pretty based. Pedro I revolutionized the governments of Portugal and Brazil, and is son was arguably one of the most patrician monarchs in history. It's sad that they aren't talked about as much as Nappy, because they aren't nearly as megalomaniacal.

>>1640964
25 years rule lad, this stuff happening literally now, though I understand why you wouldn't want to take this to /pol/. Also, Marx threads usually relates to the "humanities" part of the board (Thanks Hiro).

Because of FHC and the Plano Real, which were starting to make the country stable and prosperous after 20 years, just as FHC said it would, and the PT squandered the wealth we had built up instead of further investing it to generate more capital.
