How does Bolsonaro's lost influence Brazil and rest of the world?
On the 30th of October 2022 the Brazilian nation decided, that Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva will become new president of Brazil. Presidential campaign before the election was full of fake accusations. For example, Bolsonaro was accused of being a cannibal and pedophile and Lula was accused of being a satanist, communist and a gang leader. But after all, it turned out that Lula won by a very small difference of votes. This plot twist raised a lot of questions. Will Lula continue Bolsonaro's international politic? Will Lula try to undo Bolsonaro's anti democratic reforms and laws? Nad the most important question, will Bolsonaro accept the results of election. In recent years of him being president, Bolsonaro made a lot of anti democratic reforms such as politicization of courts, closing opposition leaders in prisons. Apart from that, he was known as antiscientific, who was cutting Amazon tropical forest despite the climate changes. The next few weeks will be crucial for Brazilian future. A country, which goal is to become a global superpower next to USA and China, can end up in a civil war between Lula and Bolsonaro's supporters. But we can't forget about Lula's past, in which he was accused of lots of different frauds. Also, he considers himself as a marxist which is of course not good path to take to become a global superpower.

Why should being a marxist (whatever it means today) clash with a ruler's ambitions to make his country a superpower? We've had a few examples which were/are quite successful.
