The Progress of Order: Recent Episodes
Kurt
A podcast narrating the Brazilian descent from popular Lulism to the surrealist fascism of Bolsonarism, so you can read Brazilian news and not wonder aimlessly what has happened to this country.
Today we break from the regular English language The Progress of Order in order to discuss the manifesto of a new Fourth Political Theory group in Brazil.
The middle class is raging. They want to speak to the manager of democracy. They will not expose their children to this nonsense. And most of all, PT now has to go. For good.
Yeah, Brazil has some experience with "Karens" and "boomers". We know all about it...

If Lula's government gained international praise and awarded him popularity for his economic strategy, how come PT has become Brazil's most hated party? In this episode, we'll be looking into the Mensalão scandal spanning from 2005 to 2013, and what implications it has spawned in political discourse across Brazil - in the media and in the judiciary system, resulting in the beginning of what would be called "antipetism".

Ever felt a strange fascination with the bizarre situation of Brazil, but also felt it to be wildly confusing? In this podcast, I'll be doing my best to explain how Brazil went from 6th biggest economy in the world to world-leader in COVID-19 cases and surrealist fascism. My job is to give you the tools to be able to sustain a political conversation with Brazilians without feeling completely lost, and being able to empathize with the absurdity of the headlines of this country without questioning again and again how it ended up like this.
This first episode, I'll be covering the basics of Lulism in the 2000s, the biggest marks left by PT and some of the leftists critique towards what wass supposed to be a revolutionary project.
