To be honest, I was shocked when he said that. Lula, and the Worker's Party as a whole, usually shy away from name-dropping Communism, let alone openly praising it.
Lula is usually worried with having support from the right-leaning Congress, and honestly, he needs that support to be allowed to do anything as president, and openly saying what he said is sure to get him a lot of criticism.
Still, it was a nice surprise to hear that.
Name-dropping communism astonishes you? Would Pol Pot astonish you?
this is funny because Pol Pot's group assumed control of the country for two years just calling themselves "The Organization", before 'revealing' themselves as the CPK. it probably was a bit shocking and astonishing considering the lack of socialism and cooperation with other socialists in the area
He also denounced communism and said western capitalism was the correct path to follow. It’s almost as if vaguely liking someone for one thing doesn’t mean you like everyone who shared the same qualities. I know it can be difficult for some people to grasp
