The elections in Brazil on Sunday have brought to power Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right candidate, who promises to launch a full on assault against the working class. How was this reactionary figure able to win?

Neoconservative Francis Fukuyama once proclaimed the triumph of liberal capitalism and the “end of history”. But events have forced him to swallow his words.

This weekend sees the second round of the Brazilian presidential elections. The likely winner will be Bolsonaro, an arch-reactionary. The working class need to mobilise and organise to fight him head on.
