Trevisan: as in 2013, doors open for fascists.
"One aspect brings us closer to 2013 again: our inability to perceive a movement that had been brewing for some time. Worse, we created barriers to the movement, distancing ourselves from it, avoiding real confrontations and, as in 2013, opening all doors for fascist groups to enter without any opposition. All this in less than a week," assesses Daniel Trevisan Samways.
247 - "It would be wrong to say that we are repeating 2013," writes Daniel Trevisan Samways in Forum magazine.
"These are different agendas, a different government, and a much worse material situation. Perhaps because the political and economic scenario is so deteriorated, the argument for intervention was so successful and resonated more than the impeachment dance. But in one respect, we are once again approaching 2013: in our inability to perceive a movement that had been brewing for some time. Worse, in creating barriers with the movement, distancing ourselves from it, avoiding real confrontations and, as in 2013, opening all doors for fascist groups to enter without any opposition. All this in less than a week."
