The New Yorker says Lula’s victory could reverse the global far-right surge. But it wasn’t a miracle. It was material organization.
For years, the far-right owned the digital sphere in Brazil. They had Silicon Valley algorithms, deep pockets, and an army of bots.
But Lula’s campaign didn’t beg the tech monopolies for fairness. André Janones and the movement built "Lula’s Army"—an 11-million-strong, decentralized digital network that bypassed the trolls and dragged the working class to the polls.
Now, Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and French anti-fascist activists are trying to copy it. They call it "Janonisme."
This is the dialectic of modern class war. The empire built the digital tools to divide and disorient the working class. But when the masses organize horizontally, they can weaponize those same tools against the elites.
Lula didn’t just win an election. He proved that the global left doesn't need to surrender the internet to the far-right.
Build your own networks, or be defeated by theirs.
