I fought for freedom of speech, for amnesty, for the freedom of association, political association, and I spent a long time there, but I'd always been a nationalist.
And as I stood by these convictions, I saw that the world in the past 200 years has been guided by two types of nationalism.
the nationalism that resulted in the independence of the United States, which was a struggle against colonial powers.
American independence was a nationalist struggle.
The independence of the countries in Portuguese-dominated America and Brazil were nationalist struggles.
The independence of the Spanish colonies in America was a nationalist struggle.
So, it was the nationalism of the emerging countries
against the nationalism of the colonial empires, because Britain wanted colonies to maintain its own nationalism, and the same goes for Portugal and Spain.
So, recently, we saw a wave of national struggles in Africa.
We're talking about the nationalist leaderships that fought for the independence of African nations against France, England, Belgium, Portugal,
who had African colonies.
The struggle in Vietnam was a nationalist struggle, the defense of the country's unity, etc.
And this is a contemporary struggle.
You have a dominating nationalism against a defensive nationalism, democratic.
Therefore, I always attempt to
see the positive sides of both Lula and Bolsonaro, because no one votes on a party or a candidate because of their negative aspect.
Every political leader, if you look closely at their biographies, solely focusing on the flaws of their private life, no one can escape.
If you look at the private life of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, you'll hardly look and say, no, they're perfect.
What should be examined is their contribution to the development of the world.
Hellenization, promoted by Alexander the Great, recognizing the importance of Greek culture.
