If Marx was right about how history repeats itself, and the first event was a farce, doesn’t that mean the second event must be an even bigger farce? Based on today’s events in Brazil, the answer appears to be yes.
The January 6 wannabe insurrection had no reasonable chance of success without some extensive previous coordination with friendly elements of the military, but at least it took place with Congress was in session and doing something politically significant. The rioters in Brazil, however, attacked the office of the president when he wasn’t there, and invaded the legislative building when the legislature wasn’t in session. Their big accomplishment was to get on TV and damage some public property. What was the point of that?
