I don't see anything wrong in characterizing Cardoso as "neoliberal," albeit of a "third-way" strand, like other politicians from the 1990s such as Tony Blair or Bill Clinton.

And about Lula & Haddad, well... I would say your characterization of them is as biased and wrong as you claim the author to be; it's equally ideologically charged, but in the opposite direction.

So the result is that you didn't really show anything wrong with the author, but simply expressed your ideological distaste with his leftism; while we, the readers of both the article and your comment, are left to choose based on nothing more than purely our own ideological inclinations.
