Yet Argentina has a 2-term limit on the Presidency.Yes that bad. South America is full of other commie governments, who are having a lot of issues. It would take literally no time at all for Lula's Brazil to come out and just support Argentina and Venezuela with subsides and hold them onto power while they destroy the country in the name of Socialism, sliding the entire continent into the black hole of communism.
Lula is really just a face being used to draw suckers in by playing voters into "nostalgia" for "better times" by pretending the good economic state of 2002-2010 Brazil was his doing and that he will magically do it again. Lula's campaign speeches are literally the exact same ones from when he ran in 2002, to the point where some stuff he keeps talking about is downright absurd (He loves to talk about hunger in Brazil, which is not a issue anymore like it was when he first ran and ironically one of the few things he could be said to have done well in ending, but he speaks as if he never got power and it is still the exact same)
The problem is that the Brazilian Uniparty (Centrão) is extremely technocratic minded, and very much still monarchical in their thinking. They openly act like they are nobility, they obviously carry themselves like nobility, and the government is absolutely determined that they should be a centralized state and get it's grubby little hands on everything. They are convinced the solution is more government control, and plenty of people in Brazil are actually delusional enough to think it could work if they "just have the right people". They don't understand the point of privatizations, or the idea that the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the demands of the expanding bureaucracy. Shit is like a bucket of crabs.
I am really, unironically planning to leave the country if Lula wins. Even Civil War USA would be better, because at least I would be allowed to forge my own life.
Mexico has that 1-term rule since the revolution that ousted Diaz in 1910.
