What, oh what, has Brazil done?

It has handled this crisis so terrible and without forethought that it is amazing that the leaders of Brazil breathe unassisted, much less run a country.

This sleight against the Workers of Brazil should not be forgotten. The police of this country are so eager to gun down workers? Then their true colors have been flown, and they are colored using the blood of the proletarians.

Workers of Brazil! You are not horses to be shot once worn out! You are not children from whom things must be withheld! You are the country! You are the people! There are more of you than grains of sand along your beaches, and each one of you is a human being! Every one of the 17 Dead in Belo Horizonte is a martyr of the worker's revolution. Every one of the 17 Dead will be remembered by their names:
