On Jan6, the storming of Congress was just one part of a larger plot to overturn the election in an orchestrated autogolpe/self-coup. In Brazil, there was no apparent larger plot. No electoral process to seize. It was just the riot. — PolitiTweet.org

1. AGENDA // Jan6 was executed with the explicit goal of overrunning Congressional vote certification so as to overturn Trump's election loss and keep him in office. In Brazil, there was no ongoing certification to seize. Bolsonaro had already left. His loss was forgone. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The images out of Brazil yesterday might've looked eerily similar to Jan 6th, but there are some extremely important differences between the two events. I'll survey the big ones here. Altogether they suggest that Brazil's J8, scary as it was, was more tantrum than full J6. — PolitiTweet.org

In some ways the big surprise in Brazil is that this didn’t happen while Bolsonaro was still in office, when it would’ve posed a far graver threat. A lot of his supporters wanted him to give the green light for a Jan6. Instead he handed off power and left the country. — PolitiTweet.org

It remains to be seen whether Brazil’s violence emerged bottom-up from the very active far-right grassroots or was planned too-down, much less by members of the previous govt. Be wary of “BREAKING” viral tweets that present speculation as fact. — PolitiTweet.org

The similarity in Brazil to Jan 6 is not a coincidence. The Brazilian right and especially far-right have long looked up to and modeled themselves after the US right. No one had to tell them to copy Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheEclecticRad @LucanWay It was not a consensus at all. It was one of the most violent civil wars of the 20th century! — PolitiTweet.org

@LucanWay So the next time you read something warning that China is going to export is going to export its authoritarian model worldwide, I think you can fairly take it with a big grain of salt. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@LucanWay In short the "China model" is only all that useful or applicable for other regimes founded in totalizing social revolution. And those are extremely rare; they count only 10 worldwide today. Many are already durable single-party states anyway. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@LucanWay The book demonstrates (and I wrote about this in the link below) that so much of what makes China's system resilient & strong isn't how it's structured or how it behaves, but rather its origins in root-and-branch social revolution 70 years ago https://t.co/QbDivZ1aLg — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
One important lesson I took from @LucanWay & Levitsky's excellent new book: China's authoritarian "model" will probably never actually be a workable model for other autocracies to follow https://t.co/DK8OiFoZJQ — PolitiTweet.org
