Why does the US empire fear an 81-year-old metalworker from Brazil? It’s not just because he protected the Amazon or defended the social wage. It’s because of how he builds alliances. Before the election, Lula didn't just huddle with the radical left. He built a "Partnership for Multilateralism," linking arms with leaders across the spectrum—including conservatives in the Global South. The imperial playbook relies on isolation. It wants to trap progressive governments in small, ideologically pure corners where they can be easily sanctioned, starved, and overthrown. It wants the left to shout into the void. But Lula understands a material truth: empires are not defeated by ideological purity. They are defeated by massive, cross-class, multilateral fronts. When Brazil links its economy with the factories of China, the energy of Russia, and the sovereign nations of the Global South, the empire's financial weapons lose their power. The sanctions stop working when the rest of the world decides to trade with itself. The West rules by dividing the world into isolated fragments. The empire fears the metalworker because he remembers how to build bridges. #Lula #Brazil #BRICS #Imperialism #GlobalSouth
