- Lula defeated Bolsonaro. The historical leader of the Workers’ Party (PT) and Brazilian/Latin American Progressivism, as well as the indirect leader of South American ultra-conservatism, ran in the longest and most intense election in Brazilian history. Two diametrically opposed worldviews, radically antagonistic, staged typically atypical elections, pitting two programs and ideologies that govern the world, but configured around unique socio-political compositions: de facto power, racially poor and unreliable workers on the progressive side; and the underprivileged, middle and upper classes on the ultra-conservative side. While in sociopolitical terms such compositions seem ironic, especially since the middle marginals have been the main beneficiaries of PT administrations, in sociocultural terms this is not the case: it is the old dilemma between the public-collective and the community, extreme individualism and anti-social. On the one hand, the social sensitivity of those who defend justice and strive for an advanced country in the international arena; and on the other hand, the social discontent of those whose markers of social status are threatened by the plebeian invasion that Lullism entails, and who are content with being outcasts in the world. Not without ignoring the fact that the incredible positioning of de facto powers is accommodating to domestic and regional inertia. In the main, the People won through alliances – accidental and inconvenient – with strategic sectors of the national and international bourgeoisie.
