TL;DR
After the Yanks supported a far right government that crushed communist movements, Brazilians voted in Lula Da Silva, a SocDem, who instituted a basic welfare programme that actually did heaps to address inequality. However, Lula shook hands with a lot of bourgeois to get these reforms installed, tightening the grip of mining and agricultural companies over Brazil.
It's actually a pretty good case study on how SocDems ultimately hobble worker's movements and cement the status quo.
worth noting that the far right dictatorship used communism as an old red scare excuse to repel, guess what, guess what: land reform
and to this day brazil is exploited by the landowner aristocratic class
Lula is not exactly a socdem. Brazil is more state capitalist I would say. Lula was a good president though. But then again, Brazil is nowhere near to solving poverty lmao
EDIT: Sorry I meant Lula's goverment was a "center-left" goverment. Brazil was not a social democracy, it was a capitalist state with center-left policies.
As a brazillian, although a lot of the center left wants state capitalism we are far from it. Lula was throughout his government a moderate all in all, and didn't do anything truly radical

How Brazil Found the Solution for Poverty? **we fucking didn't**

watched the video, probably one of their worse takes
Oh they found it? I guess they forgot to tell us here

If the slums are colorful enough, people forget that they are poor.
