We updated this collection of articles with new material, which our readers can find in the bottom of this page.
In the past months, a debate has been developing inside P-SOL and generally the Left in Brazil about the tactics in the coming presidential elections. As the mood to get rid of Bolsonaro is growing and the Lula candidacy is gaining ground, the 7th Congress of P-SOL (a multi-tendency party of the Left) addressed this issue. Disagreements and debates on the exact election tactic were aired in public. We reproduce below the articles in English published as part of this debate, which we find of interest for the revolutionary left worldwide.
If any of our readers have any proposals to include other articles in this collection, please contact us at internationaliststandpoint@gmail.com and we will gladly publish them.
