Not surprising that a commie like Lula would hold such a view.

Unfortunately Brazilian politics is not very good at producing sane and reasonable leaders. Lula gained a lot of international sympathy for his promise to rein in deforesation in the Amazon, which meant a lot of people were willing to overlook his corruption, criminality and extremism. Deforestation of the Amazon has accelerated since he took office.
