One of the most radical social movements in Brazil is the Landless Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem-Terra - MST). The MST is not just fighting for land reform. The MST also fights, in the words of its main leader João Pedro Stédile, for "a different way of farming that guarantees that [every] land is not seen as private property."

The MST Supports Terrorism in Israel written by Guest,
October 26, 2005
The posted placed above might be a deceptive attempt to bring confusion to this question, trying to deviate the reader to the important facts presented by the author.
In fact, the author shows in another article that the MST is also an anti-Semitic movement that openly supports terrorism against Israel.
In his article “200,000 Children in Brazil Are Learning from Mao's Red Book”, Zimmermann reveals the MST's anti-Semitic position in these terms which I now reproduce:
“On April 2, 2002, Jose Rainha {an MST official] declared that the MST favors all terrorist activities in Israel, including the targeting of Israeli civilians.
As Rainha put it, "although most of the terrorist actions are targeting civilians…, terrorism is still a valid weapon of self-defense for the Palestinian people".
Thus an official document delivered by the MST to the Embassy of Israel dares to compare the Israeli Prime-Minister with Nazi leader Adolph Hitler.
In another document, the MST explicitly declares: "We support and extend solidarity to the Palestinian people who... have become victims of genocide carried out by the government of Israel".

Targeting of Israeli civilians in Israel is very extreme as " a valid weapon of self-defense for the Palestinian people"but does not qualify as anti semitism.
Ariel Sharon is responsible for deaths of many but he is no Hitler.

WHICH ARTICLE? written by Guest,
October 26, 2005
Hey, folks. Which article are you commenting?
The here referred article points out a real plot to undermine Brazilian democracy (one of the largest in the world) and the only comments that followed were only expressions of anti-Semitic hatred, as the author is a Brazilian Jew, though being a highly reputed author and jurist.
Shame on you!
Come on, folks, give me a break!

Violence? that is what the lords of america have always used, and still use, to dominate and loot the land, and to oppress starving millions. Who cares about a "democracy" that simply maintains the privileges of a few while enslaving the many? The fact that MST leaders have silly opinions means little; if "revolutionary" conditions ever ripen further, they and their idiot ideologies will be swept away. Also in danger: every parasitic intellectual who uses his/her mind only to anaesthitize his/her own conscience.

shame on this article...... written by Guest,
October 26, 2005
...the MST are similar to how Jews were treated decades ago....just hatred ! ...the MST is simply asking the government to take care of the poverty in Brazil....with land redistribution. Nothing wrong on that !!!!! In view that 1 % owns around 50 % or more of the land Brazil is critized all over the world on this subject and on wealth inequalities where you are the world champions....after Sierra Leone ! Nothing to be proud of !!!!!
So the questions are : WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO, WHAT DIS YOU DO, AND WHAT WILL YOU EFFECTIVELY DO ??????
We know the supposed : ....to get elected Lula officially and publicly promised that during his 4 years mandate he will resettle 400'000 MST. Based on that deal...the MST voted for Lula. So far around 115'000 or so have been resettled in 3 years. After the recent buildings occupation from the MST, a minister confirmed that the government will hold its promise. But how can anyone sincere says such a stupidity, because it seems far improbable that 280'000 MST will be settle in one year when only 115'000 have been settled in 3 years !!!! Also how can anyone sincere promise such numbers when THEY know that the budget for the MST settlements has been cut from 1.7 billions Reais to....700 millions ????. A 60 % reduction or so !!!! Reductions explained by budget austerity !!!!!!!
And he failed in his promises by reducing this program by 60 %....IN A BOOMING ECONOMY !!!!!!!!!! A true tragedy and shame !!!!!!
This demonstrate that Lula is a traitor to the MST and top all the needy brazilian citizens, that his promises are just words....never facts !
the same could be said for most of his programs, healthcare, education, anti corruption, tax collection, housing, infrastructure, etc etc.
Even in the economic growth rate....Lula failed, because many developing nations during the same last 3 years had a much higher growth than Brazil. On top you should have had a much higher growth rate than others because earlier your currency collapsed almost 75 % in a few years.....that helped your exports, and other developing nations had not this advantage !!!!!
NOW the questions are : WHEN WILL A BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT REALLY TAKE CARE OF THE POVERTY AND LAND REDISTRIBUTION !!!!!! SO FAR....MANY PROMISES.....LITTLE FACTS !!!!!!!
AND WHEN WILL A BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT (ESPECIALLY IF FROM THE LEFT) WILL HOLDS TO ITS PROMISES AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ???????
IS A PROMISE NOT A COMMITMENT THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTED...TO THOSE WHO ELECTED YOU ???????'
Just look at today report from Amnesty International. It speaks for itself of how little care is given by the brazilian governments to their electors !!!!!!

....what do Brazilians Unions....such as civil servants, police, army, workers, bank employees etc etc do differently than the MST !!!!!!
The Unions go on strike, street demonstrations and ask for salary increase! Having a work they are still paid their wages partially or wholly !!!!
The MST members dont have a job, therefore also no wages, by definition, so they cannot go on strike. They dont ask for more.....than 400'000 families settlements...AS PROMISED BY LULA BEFORE AND AFTER HE WAS ELECTED ¨!!!
They dont ask for an increase...as unions do regularly....but for a specified agreed and promised number !!!!!!
Can no one be held responsible for what he promised in your country ????????
The one sure thing is that Lula and his government dont accept responsibilities for what they promised. they dont even recognize their mismanagement of the FMD disease that afflicts your country now !!!!

mr august zimmermann only wants to increase the wealth and privilege of the blanco/white elite in brazil and in his evil racism and protection of white privilege in brazil is supporting the white land owning oligarchy in the country.
brazil is 70% non-white, but racist mr. zimmermann, wants only to increase further the land estates and wealth and privilege of the 30% white landowing and white and conquistadores descendant and slave trader and murderer of indigenous populaiton part of the populaiton.
shame on you mr. zimmermann for you racism and your support for blanco/white privilege and oligarchy privileges.

To the person who posted the last message.
YOU ARE A TYPICAL LEFT-WING EXTREMIST!
You are a very dangerous person and I hope you're not a Brazilian.
Our countries have many social problems and I hold extremists like you as particularlyresponsible for them.
Please pack your things and go to live in places who share similar ideas with you, such as North Korea and Cuba.

Excellent Article! written by Guest,
October 28, 2005
This article is based not on the author's opinion, but on quotes taken by him from people who are either MST leaders or MST supporters.
It is the MST itself, not the author, which openly admits it totalitarian nature and Maoist objectives..
I therefore congratulate him for warning the world, and Brazil in particular, about the dangers pose to freedom and democracy by the MST.
