I can imagine the depths of poverty that would drive a Brasilian to become a Communist. I've walked through the favelas (and lived.) I've been in the shanty-towns and they are an image of misery engrained within my mind for eternity.
All Communism will do for Brasil is ensure everyone can live in a favela. Their waning middle-class will cease to exist. My friends and loved ones will become "refugees" if they can even escape at all.
At least I won't have to travel thousands of miles for a cup of Dona Maria's home brew in a few months.
You mean, like Elian?
