Dave Zirin author of the new book Brazil’s Dance with the Devil: The World Cup, the Olympics, and the Fight for Democracy explains why Brazilians are protesting against the World Cup, the unique style of Brazilian style, the growth of the moment against FIFA and the world cup in Brazil, FIFA as “invisible dictators”, celebration capitalism and shock capitalism, how the World Cup is destroying the relationship between Brazilians and Soccer, the anti working class and anti civil liberties measures pushed through ahead of the World Cup, how protests against the World Cup have become more radical, wildcat strikes and direct action, the power of Pele speaking out against the World Cup and the standing in solidarity with Brazilians as they protest neo-liberalism during the cup.
