The Lula Election Round-Up

This past week, Lula won a historic victory for the left and for Brazil when he defeated Bolsonaro! In light of the big victory, we decided to do a round-up of articles about the victory and reflect on what it all means. We also pay some special attention to Lula's thoughts on religion and, because this is The Magnificast, we throw a weird French philosopher in the mix too. Here are the articles we talked about 📕Lula’s Victory Is a Testament to Solidarity - Jeremy Corban https://jacobin.com/2022/11/lula-brazil-president-victory-solidarity-left-workers-party 📕Earth’s future depends on the Amazon.
