And typically, you ignore the many cases where those coups weren't done for corporate reasons, but to prevent Communist takeovers.
Not to mention, your claim about being "in the employ of wall st. companies is hugely exaggerated.
Coups are generally done in pursuit of raw power or over philosophical reasons.
I was in Brazil when the Socialist president Sarney followed absolutely disastrous policies, some of which hurt the supposedly powerful Bank of Boston.
The Bank of Boston was comically reduced to writing letters to the editor in protest.
Wow, talk about all powerful!
And needless to say, the damage done to the bank was minimal compared to the horrific damage done to Brazil and its ordinary citizens.
Jair Bolsonaro has been far worse for Brazil than anyone since the generals of the 1970's.
I am hoping Lula beats Bolsonaro.
