They are demanding a halt of the pension reform and the release of imprisoned ex-president Lula da Silva. Mike Fox reports from Brazil

  1. Goddamnit! That all we'd have to do here in the U.S. for everyone who is sick and tired of the fucked up system, social, economic and political to hit the fucking streets, fields or wherever and STRIKE! Bring this Mf'r to a halt! Whatever it is that you do, be it policing, hammering, accounting or cooking, STOP! Until this shit gets sorted out satisfactorily and fairly for EVERYONE.
    I wonder how long before they would start shooting us for not working?
    Taste that freedom huh?
    All that winning! Make your head spin.

  2. The brazilians wanted to have their own T-rump…. Now they have him !!!
    Enjoy and count your national losses ! 😉😊😊😊
    For Venezuela/Guido the U.S was to stupid and ineffektiv…. but, like we see here, for Brazil/Bolsonaro they were effective (and clever) enough !! 😂😂😂😂
    I myself would think about that !!!!!

  3. White people are the reason for Brazil’s problems, need to steal all the money from them for all their corruption.

  4. It's a big ass distraction move they are using to deflect attention and protester resources away from the Lula De Silva movement. He must be freed and Brazil will rise again.

  5. We need a global revolution against capitalism, the evil US empire and all its puppets (and the puppets they want to install around the world).

  6. Only few thousand on major cities, not million nor general. Utter failure strike, most didn't even notice…

  7. I am so happy that the people of Brazil have woken up to the right wing scam. Next Venezuela and India

  8. Will like to know where's the USA talking about democracy ???….😂😂😂 oooooh is because they got a claund already in power…

  9. I applaud the Brazilian workers!!! We should be doing this in the US, we should use general strike as a means to get the Trump/Pence regime to vacate! Sadly most Americans just cannot be bothered to take the duty of citizenry seriously enough.

  10. At 2:04 if you look close the red hammer and sickle flag, communism is a cancer that needs to be destroyed ! The ex president of BRAZIL is a commi corrupt dirt bag !

  11. Millions marched where? Even on his own twitter page this Mike Fox reporter cites 80 thousand people in one of the capitals in the country and even that seems like a big stretch. I'm in the capital Recife in the state of Pernambuco at the moment (the state where Lula is from) and today I had to drive across the city twice and didn't see any protest or strike in the morning nor in the afternoon!
    This guy is anything but impartial and is simply being disingenuous to say the least and keeps propagating the same kind of lies the former administration did and the poorly uninformed and easily manipulated people always fall for it.
    He talks about how the people are against the pension reform, but doesn't explain anything about it, he doesn't mention that the government also wants the cap the pension for the politicians as well. People, do your own research and try to listen to both sides, be impartial!
    Every time The Real News Network posts a video featuring this guy it looses a bit more credibility!

  12. Tutto quello che tocca l'America o muore o ne sconvolge l'esistenza. È tutto veramente spaventoso e schifoso (anche i sionisti fanno schifo e vergogna)

  13. it's funny how there was not even a person wearing the colors of Brazil … all supporters of a genocidal system of misery and dictatorship ….

  14. Hahahahah ahahahahahah rotten media ever !!! This is an absurd lie! hahahahah the strike was a fiasco !! just type in there and filter for today hahahahah and it was not against the president. was to release the socialist criminals who destroyed and plundered the country !!! You guys are crap!

  15. Just one of billions of reminders that the ruling class will always drain the life out of the working class.
