Haddad is not left-wing. PT is not left-wing.

They marched to the state hall because Alckimin (São Paulo governor) has the control over the military police (yes, our everyday police is military), and after the brutality of 06/13 it seemed only logical.

Care to explain why you don't consider Haddad and PT (the Workers Party) leftists? I totally disagree.

they WERE left before PT and Lula get into power.. after that PT and Lula is much more like center.. not quite left, not quite right..

For America and UK they may look left, but thats because they just have rightists.. and maintain the other moviments choked and without any voice..

If monday protests were pacific and the police showed they didn't touched anyone, why seek revenge then? That makes absolutely no sense, just shows how it was a portion of idiots being manipulated by extremists.
