Lulism (

social liberal' approach that gradually resolves the gap between the rich and the poor in a market-oriented way.[3][25]

Brazilian manufacturers, banks and retailers benefited from the consumption-led and credit-fueled government economic model.[26] According to André Singer, who coined the term: "The convergence of interests of the private industry sector on one side, and of the organized labor force on the other, led to the stability that allowed this political system to take the form of a sort of consensus".[27] This equilibrium allowed the government to gradually make significant changes in policy. In the Lulism movement, non-confrontation is a sine qua non for development. It is part of the Latin American leftist wave known as Socialism of the 21st century.[28]

Evolution

The word Lulism was coined by André Singer, a political scientist and Lula's press secretary from 2003 to 2005 and spokesperson during his presidency from 2002 to 2007.[24][29][30][31] Originating in the 2002 presidential campaign, Lulism departed from the left-wing politics of the Workers Party until late 2001[23] and abandoned the concepts of organization and mobilization. Since Lulism is a model of enforced change within order, mobilization is unnecessary and conflict is eliminated.[30]

A 2009 article written for the

military dictatorships'. In the war for public opinion, the so-called left always got the better, Singer says".[32] Lula da Silva has also been described in media and books as a "liberal" in the sense of social rather than classical.[4][33][34]

Lulism sought reconciliation between Lula and the large Brazilian conservative sector.[30][35] Ironically,[36] it is a conservative social pact combining the economic policy of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995–2003) with the distributive policies of Lula's government (2002–2010).[29]

Under the auspices of conciliation,

macroeconomic policy based on three pillars, namely inflation control, a floating exchange rate and a budgetary surplus.[23]

Another feature distinguishing Lulism as a political movement is its nonpartisan character. It overlaps the political parties, including the Workers Party founded by Lula.[38] Although the movement was anchored in Lula's charisma, Lulism differs from other movements surrounding political leaders (such as Peronism in Argentina) in its lack of a cult of personality around the former Brazilian President.[citation needed]

With later events in Brazilian politics, such as the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, the arrest of Lula on 7 April 2018 and President Michel Temer's reform of labour laws,[39] some political commentators are arguing for a second phase of Lulism, now more radical and more left orientated.[40]

Legacy

Several Latin American politicians such as Ollanta Humala, José Mujica, Mauricio Funes, and Fernando Lugo have cited Lulism and Chavism as political models and alternatives to the Washington Consensus.[41]
