One problem with Latin American leftists is that they might be irresponsible demagogues who ruin the country in the long term to maximize immediate handouts, or intellectualized figures who devise bold plans that end up collapsing on their own contradictions. Lula's classical years happened under a form of liberalism with a greater emphasis on welfare.
Another thing to consider is that their "nationalism" might be just a kind of Third Worldist or leftist internationalism. The way they ally with and support other Third World states isn't necessarily the one that's optimal for national interest.

>Of course I know his alias, but sorry I dislike the Brazilian custom of referring to almost everyone by an informal and (to me) excessively familiar name
A truly personal name earned through his own willpower and prestige, and which was legally added to his full name decades ago, is worth a lot more than an extremely generic surname.
>Also it sounds feminine to me, does it mean anything in Br Portuguese?
"Squid". Nobody finds him feminine, though.

>But I get the impression he probably has more guts than Trump (if not more brain)
More guts, probably. More brain, unlikely.
>Also it seems to me that the military command in Brazil is closer to Bolsonaro than the USMIL was to Trump.
Correct, as Bolsonaro is pro-military. This doesn't necessarily mean they'll use their muscle in his support. Back when there was a military uprising every few years, 90% of officers were apolitical careerists who never picked a side until it was clear who would win. Now the military has been quiet for several decades.
>the libtard anglosphere media is already liking the conditions in Brazil to Trumps' capitol trespassers, and hyping a coming "insurrection"
It's one of the two things the left has been hyping, the other being tanks besieging the Supreme Court and Bolsonaro becoming a military dictator. I find the former plausible sometime between now and 2023, not as what is was described as (an "insurrection" or a "coup d'état") but as what it really was, an expression of frustration which brings political militants to a dead end and allows their enemies to respond with an iron fist.
