It's inaccurate when they say that Cuban doctors in Brazil don't receive their full "salary." They get 100% of their salary. What they don't get is 100% of the revenue paid to their corporation for the services they provide, but I bet if you check, neither do you
lol bolsonaristas really out here discovering the concept of surplus value but only as a way to attack socialism
It's literally the most ironic thing that has ever happened, tropical fascists finally understanding global capitalism but only because they want to own Fidel Castro, unfortunately though the whole phenomenon is too complicated to explain in a youtube video so it doesn't exist
When it comes down to it Bolsonaro is actually complaining about large profit margins and the enforcement of labor contracts which, considering he is a wannabe Pinochet, is the funniest thing that has ever happened
[Obama voice] Let me be clear [/Obama voice] - the situation that Cuban doctors find themselves in is unfair. Deeply unfair. There is no good reason that skilled doctors from Cuba should earn 3000 reais while shithead Brazilian doctors earn 10000 for doing the same job worse. BUT
The injustice of their situation is literally everywhere, it's the reason you indirectly pay Chinese workers a tiny fraction of what you pay workers in Germany, if you don't like it you'll have to find a new global mode of production
(And fwiw I spent weeks taking buses around rural Brazil interviewing Cuban doctors and their patients, and the marginalized Brazilians kept telling me "wow...these doctors really help me, they care about me, I never expected a service like this") latimes.com/world/la-fg-ff…
