Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest dropped 33.6% in the first six months of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s term, providing an encouraging sign for his administration's environmental efforts.
The actual meaning of political words is relative to the current geopolitical landscape. At the moment Liberal means “I love billionaires and I hate the poor”.
Capitalists have been trying to steal the term multiple times — there is nothing liberal, liberties or freedom under the hierarchy of capitalism. Liberal is relative, and relatively speaking it’s anticapitalist.

I hate when, for example, a moisturiser says to “apply liberally” - I have to look up what it means. In Australia, Libs are the right leaners, and when I think of them, I think of slashing public services and greedy, self-serving economic management.
Every time I apply something liberally, somewhere a right winger gets a pain in their shoulder and can’t heil for a while, and capitalism crumbles a bit more
Lula is more liberal than Bolsonaro in what the word actually means but otherwise good comment
