Let em' go. They'll starve and learn what Communism really means.

.. They'll starve and learn what Communism really means....

They are already starving in Brazil and Argentina. Both places are rat-holes where a few people live in palaces and the rest live in high-rises built of plywood (if they're lucky) and corrugated tin.

I really can't see Brazilians becoming Commies.... After futbol, the number one past-time is avoiding taxes! They're REALLY good at it!

For all the business that does go on there, both countries are truly in desperate straits. It's precisely the kind of destitution that has ALWAYS given rise to ruthless dictators. If we wnat to stop this, we'd better figure out a way to help get them on better financial footing.
