In this years G7 summit, to be held in Evian, France, the scene has been set for a puppet show, with several lackey heads of State being invited to the summit. While the country-selling puppets make their little dance for the G7 summit, the imperialists wring their hands at the prospects of developing further the lackey character of these oppressed countries, and securing a bigger piece of the pie for themselves.

Puppet show #2 – Luiz Inácio da Silva

The following puppet President who has confirmed his attendance to the G7 summit is Luiz Inácio da Silva, from Brazil.

Luiz Inácio should be well known to all our readers, denounced as an opportunist by A Nova Democracia and us on uncountable occasions. In words he sells false hope of change to the people, but in practice his policies will not hesitate to betray them and bend in front of the imperialist order, mainly before the sole hegemonic superpower, US imperialism.

Under his mandate, an increase of the violence against the poor and black masses in the cities was recorded, especially in the favelas, as with the biggest police massacre ever recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 2025, in the Complex da Penha and do Alemão, where at least 132 people were murdered. Other butcheries and even indiscriminate murders by the police followed this episode of war against the people. At the beginning, da Silva “condemned” the massacre and the police violence against the poor, but in his most recent declarations in May, what he condemns before Donald Trump is the “the practice of terrorism by factions” and guarantees his cooperation with the United States. When his master pulls the strings, the puppet crawls and obeys his master.

However, as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, one cannot write on Brazil without mentioning the big landlord violence against the poor people in the countryside. Every year the death toll within the agrarian conflicts increase before the sharpening of the struggle for land. Big landlords and imperialist monopolies hire goons – who commonly are also Military Police officers – to further the theft of land and the murder of those who defend it. The high amount of murdered peasant leaders – those who dare to organize the rage of the poor of the countryside – is not a coincidence. Before these murders and the theft of land, and the direct participation of the State in this process, the only real solution for those who live and work the land, for the poor peasants, is the political organization and the armed self-defense.

Today we see the example of the League of the Poor Peasants (LCP), who for decades have not hesitated to organize the deepest and broadest masses of the countryside and give them what they need, political organization, a piece of land and the means to defend it. The LCP was born after important experiences made by the peasant organizations, like the Massacre of Corumbiara. They have shown from the beginning – with its poor peasant camps – that the masses do not have to sit idly by, waiting for a piece of land that never arrives, nor to believe the opportunists who sell them nothing more than smoke and mirrors. The masses can and must conquer and defend the land, and despite the harsh repression of the old State, which increases daily, the masses raise the rallying cry for the Agrarian Revolution for the elimination of the latifundium and the division the land, and as we all know, the masses make history, and that day will come.

The peoples of the world will add the crimes of the opportunist Lula, serving the interests of the criminal imperialists, to the ever growing list of imperialist crimes, as the G7 summit grows near. The anti-imperialist, democratic, revolutionary and progressive organizations and individuals will take to the street to show the imperialists and their puppets that wherever they may go, the struggle and rage of the people will follow.

We will continue to update on any new information regarding the G7 summit and the upcoming demonstration.
