The worst aspect of the Brazilian coup: it prevents the Social State - America beware

The Brazilian Coup should be instructional. It is the pseudo-legal method for one's country's Plutocracy, Oligarchy, entitled wealthy, or whatever you want to call it to take power when the people attempt to make their system more equitable. America beware as there are striking similarities.

The struggle now is to regain a minimum democracy, and above all, to re-validate the 1988 Constitution, damaged by the coup, but one which would open a space for peaceful coexistence and human development.

Sadly, this is a global problem.
