Yup. Ordinarily in a "free" society, one would have to swallow hard and allow a "democratically" elected leftist government take office and hope to get them out next time around, but with Communists, the concept of "democracy" goes straight out the window with their elections. Once in power, a revolution is required to usher them out. I'm afraid for this one that a military coup d'etat is the only logical solution, sad to say. Sometimes people have to be saved from their own ignorance.

Well let's remember what happened when Lenin allowed elections to the Constituent Assembly in Russia. When the Bolsheviks lost, he merely shut it down. The far left's lip service to democracy only extends so far so long as the result of the election is certain.

.... a revolution is required to usher them out....

This statement cuts both ways. Perhaps the current election is in fact a revolution ushering out the corrupt oligarchs in control of Brazil.
