A saúde em tempos de golpe

Abstract

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ULTRALIBERAL COUP that sacked the popular vote and led to the political demoralization of Brazil, what stands out in the scenario are the decline of the economy and the massacre of social rights with intensification of social inequalities.The ultraliberal right has spread around the world and imposed on countries policies of economic austerity with severe repercussions and consequences. Imposing power and manipulating the political classes, the ultraliberals also use think tank strategy, organizations which disseminate the ideology. Latin America and Brazil are home to a number of those organizations with formulators profile, such as the Millennium Institute, or focused on leadership and activism, such as the Free Brazil Movement (MBL), which led the popular pro-coup manifestations.The term ultraliberalism is used here to emphasize the distinction from the liberalism that was at the base of the Keynesian states linked to the matrix of social welfare of the interwar period. Th neoliberalism coined in the last decades of the twentieth century refers to the emptying of State functions from their obligations to social rights, with deregulation and free market while the resistance to the left incorporates the flags for social protection and social rights. Ultraliberalism is associated with financial globalization with supremacy and command of the financial system.The ultraliberal right in the US which comes back with Trump had already shown its face with Reagan, who radicalized his ideas by promoting free market, deregulation of the economy, tax cuts, and cuts in social program budgets, excluding the military budget. It is precisely the oil supermajors and the war industry that are the big funders of think tank organizations, and their interests are directly associated with the wars and genocides that the planet witnesses terrified in the Middle East. The expansionism of the US has Latin America constantly in sight.Each day, more and more evidence emerges as to the real nature of the coup in Brazil, which instituted groups of power -even if they turn to be disposable throughout the process -at the service of the stateless financial system. That project mobilized national sectors that, although in a secondary way, benefit from the corollary of the coup. Yet, it is the people who are its great victims.Those who sponsored the coup have manipulated the three powers, from the Judiciary operators to the political class, allying the media and a portion of the population who was bothered by the little that Brazilian society has moved in the so-called popular governments. Even without prejudice to the interests of liberalism and the capital, those governments supported political projects that, with all their weaknesses and frailties, presented intentions and commitments with equity and social justice. With democracy, a cycle was defeated which, even with ambiguity in Dilma's second term, proved to be incompatible with the current radicalization of the financial globalization.It is clear that the rise...
