Yeah, I bet this will happen just like over 90 years ago, fascists calling for violence but then chickening out when it happens to them.
The green chickens will fly away and chicken out again. Reactionaries are mostly cowards.
Moraes is an imperialist comprador PoS. He was put there after a real coup, now he tries to frame bolsonarists as trying to do what he actually did. Imperialism wants to take both Lula and Bolsonaro off the elections and put someone they can control. Bolsonarists rn are outraged and i wont be surprised if they come to violence over this. Theres no law in Brasil that gives Moraes powers to do what he did, his "investigation" is pure persecution and he already enacted most of what AI5 did to our country during the militar dictatorship. People get taken away by their hate of bolsonaro and end up supporting imperialism inside the country. Ik bolso is a disgusting moron, but hatred clouds the judgement and doesnt allow you to know your enemy
People in the radical left will never think any member of the supreme court as an ally. Most people there are just conservatives, a government appointed aristocracy which simply tries to maintain the capitalist order.
The Bolsonaro case is simply a matter of him being a disfunctional clown. He made enemies unnecessarily, both in the supreme court and in sectors of the bourgeoisie, like Rede Globo. And after the failed coup and subsequent investigation, the far right is fighting for the spoils of his base. Bolsonaro is trying to survive and maintain the far right under his wing, while other players are trying to occupy the power vacuum, such as Tarcísio.
All the while, the supreme court, is reacting back as their position was questioned by Bolsonaro, so they are using all the means they have at their disposal to condemn him. This does not mean the court is progressive, it is just that they are protecting their own turf. If the left was more organized (and less conservative), it could take advantage of the current right wing in-fighting.

I dont agree that our "radical" left have this position as firmly as you say, but thats not something to argue over.
I disagree with most of your analysis of bolsonaro. The conflict here is between far right nationalism (with any critique you may impose in this nationalism) and a moderate pro imperialist right. The conflict between Bolsonaro and Tarcísio is a conflict between our mid-range national bourgeoisie and the imperialist bourgeoisie inside the country. Tarcisio, Globo and Moraes all serve imperialism fully, while bolsonaro's faint nationalism becomes unaceptable in the current situation.
so they are using all the means they have at their disposal to condemn him.
This is wrong. The reason they are doing it is to corner him into either full submission to imperialism or supporting someone who is submissive.
This does not mean the court is progressive
Quite the opposite, they are and have always been ultra reactionary
it could take advantage of the current right wing in-fighting.
We are

This is a very bad analysis of the situation. All factions of the right wing are pro imperialism. There's not a national bourgeoisie in Brazil, only a comprador bourgeoisie that is submissive to the US imperialism. Bolsonaro blatantly supported the US (especially Trump) and Israel, even accepting unfavorable trade conditions (such as US tariffs for Brazilian steel, while lowering tariffs for dairy products - which angered Brazilian agro industry petty bourgeoisie). Bolsonaro was largely in favor of an agreement with the EU, and Paulo Guedes wanted Brazil to be accepted as a full OCDE member. Bolsonaro was also full in favor of privatizing industries for foreign investors.
So nationalism wasn't even in Bolsonaro's rhetoric. You are probably confusing some half assed patriotism because the far right loved using the main national soccer team jersey. But other than that Bolsonaro was blatantly pro Western imperialism and Brazilian submission.
The user you're responding to is a PCO apologist. I would not expect much from them in regards to correct political analysis.
Them saying that there is a far right nationalism movement in Brasil is already completely wrong and shows a lack of understanding of the far right in the country and how they successfully managed to co-opt national symbols while being complete bootlickers of USian imperialism.
Yes, you are right. This user response smelled like Patsoc stuff.
Ok, if they are sll equal, i dont even get the point of analyzing the situation.
When the actions of a politician or country serve an anti-imperialist cause, should we have critical support of the action? Every action should be analysed through this lens.

In an abstract sense, yes, but what actions are you refering to?
Moraes will destroy the rights of brazilians in order to get bolsonaro behind bars. Then, the rightwing finds another leader. And when people wake up from this hatred filled fever dream, we gave up our rights to get nothing in return.
The supreme court already does this in an everyday basis. They attacked the legislation that would limit the amount of weekly amount of work hours for nurses, when it was outside of their competence. The same regarding privatization of Petrobras assets. It's not like the supreme court are extending their authority with Moraes, they do this all the time.
Not going to lie, I'm loving the right wing infighting.
