摘要
President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment should be framed as part of the crisis of the Lulist mode of regulation of social conflict. The Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers' Party-PT) presidencies lost their functionality from the standpoint of the interests of the traditional ruling classes of the country, led by the financial sector. The breakdown of Lulism was the exhaustion of the mediation between the predatory aspirations of the Brazilian bourgeoisie and the rights and aspirations of workers. This exhaustion was first evident in June 2013 and became acute in the subsequent years as the government was confronted with economic crises and corruption scandals. The Temer administration's open confrontation of the working class pointed to a return of workers' living conditions to the nineteenth century, but these measures reflected not a turning point but simply an acceleration of the pace of the prevailing politics. The collaboration of the ruling PT in confusing, calming, and alienating the popular classes helps explain the negligible popular reaction to the impeachment, the antipopular assault led by Temer, and Lula's arrest. O impeachment da presidente Dilma Rousseff deve ser enquadrado como parte da crise do modo lulista de regulamentacao dos conflitos sociais. As presidencias do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) perderam sua funcionalidade do ponto de vista dos interesses das classes dominantes tradicionais do pais, lideradas pelo setor financeiro. O colapso do lulismo foi o esgotamento da mediacao entre as aspiracoes predatorias da burguesia brasileira e os direitos e aspiracoes dos trabalhadores. Essa exaustao ficou evidente pela primeira vez em junho de 2013 e se tornou aguda nos anos seguintes, quando o governo foi confrontado com crises economicas e escandalos de corrupcao. O confronto aberto do governo Temer com a classe trabalhadora apontou para o retorno das condicoes de vida dos trabalhadores ao seculo XIX, mas essas medidas refletiram nao um ponto de virada, mas simplesmente uma aceleracao do ritmo das politicas vigentes. A colaboracao do PT no poder de confundir, acalmar e alienar as classes populares ajuda a explicar a insignificante reacao popular ao impeachment, o ataque antipopular liderado por Temer e a prisao de Lula.
