A bit unrelated of a side note, there is a close relationship between LATAM left and narcoterrorist gangs (the clearest example being FARC in Colombia, which has been legalized after a US-supported "peace deal" and is now a "progressive" political party with a permanent congressional quota - to say this is grotesque is a gross understatement).

Organized crime in Brazil has essentially been born of a symbiosis between far-left militants and petty criminals who lived together in prisons during the 1970s. That's why the largest and most deadly criminal syndicate in BR is called the "Red Command". Lula and the PT have close associations with murderous criminal factions. Communists viewed organized crime as a means to terrorize and destabilize the middle-class, conservative, implicitly White society. Leftists not only tolerate, but actively associate with and support, bloodthirsty criminals and murderers. As the US descends into third-world status, expect the same thing to happen there. Brazil had lower murder rates than the US until the 70s. Things can go downhill pretty fast when you let communists run loose. This is why they need to be quickly liquidated whenever they start to crop up.
