Get the Not A Democracy mug.PT's Socialist Democracy, also Lula's Socialist Democracy, PT Socialist Democracy, Lulist Socialist Democracy, Lulopetist Socialist Democracy or Revolutionary Socialist Democracy, is a political system that aligns democracy with socialism and with the principles of the PT (Workers' Party) and Lula. The PT's socialist democracy is well characterized for being defended by the PT's municipal and state leaders, contrary to the conciliatory policy of the PT's federal leaders. The PT's socialist democracy was theorized and synthesized by Marxism-Leninism-Lulism and as a response from several PT members in response to the coup attempt on January 8, 2023, which would be a justification for Lula, the PT and the allied parties to become Brazil into a Socialist Democracy and adopt a constitution based on socialist democracy, democratic socialism and cooperative ownership.
The PT's Socialist Democracy as a concept emerged as a meme on r/GenLula (also r/GenLula2 and r/genlula3) and also in PT and Lula groups that defended and defend that Lula should have used January 8, 2023 as a justification for the PT to go even further to the left and turn Brazil into a socialist democracy.
