Democracy and the Organization of Class Struggle in Brazil (original) (raw)

This paper explores the dynamics of class struggle and democratic processes in Brazil, emphasizing the role of the Workers' Party (PT) and trade unions in fostering worker organization and political representation. It highlights the unique socio-economic contrasts within Brazil that shape the working class and asserts that democracy is essential for the empowerment of workers and peasants against entrenched elite interests. By interpreting democracy in a radical sense, the PT facilitates broader participation in political processes, offering a path for class construction and social change.
