Would you live with communists for a month in Santa Cruz?

[Sewer]

Yes, especially considering that American "communists" are perfectly fine and generally have qualities that I like.

I'm talking about MLM adherents.

Maoists?
yuck.

[Mechaman]

I don't see why not. On a personal, voluntary basis, communism is fine.

Exactly.
In fact, I would be a communist if it weren't for the perversion of statism that has infected the modern day movement. I describe myself as a Libertarian Communist.

Communist Party of Brazil

Which one

The insane one, or the slightly saner one? I assume since you said Communist Party of Brazil you mean PCdoB, which is the Maoist one.

Santa Cruz is great, and I go there most years in August for the Cabrillo festival. My only complaint is that there are far too many nubile women who have decided to deface themselves with tatoos. Boo!  Last time I was there, I actually enjoyed savoring the left wing message signs which graced many of the funky homes around and about. It was very entertaining, particularly since some were quite clever. I don't get this notion that happiness comes from surrounding oneself with folks who agree with you on politics. It is quite nutter really in the sense that those who feel that way, I tend to think live in a world not of grand delusions, but of blinding ones.

Have you met the pink lady?

I forget his real name... I think he was charged with molestation or something in the past. Haha.

lol, I forget that Brazil has like a gazillion communist/socialist leaning parties.
One of my friends I know for sure is a member of the Brazilian Socialist Party, and my social club big brother is a member of the Communist Party of Brazil. I think the rest might've been Workers' Party or Brazilian Social Democracy Party.
Hanging around my Brazillian friends turned me from a mainstream libertarian into a radical anarcho communist due to a common hatred of the American capitalist system, the difference being that they believe the state in the right hands can still be a force of good while I believe that the only way true communism can be achieved is once all institutions of coersion are removed (governments and corporations).

Of course nobody would be able to guess that while looking at my economic PM score or my yellow avatar,

Anarcho-communism is a great ideology. Strongly approve. I hate that these crazy American free-market-worshiping libertarians have ruined the good name of anarchism with their anarcho-capitalism crap.

It's also totally ridiculous, but yeah.

Brazilian Social Democracy Party

The PSDB is a right-wing party Don't let party names fool you in Brazil, since 90% of the time it doesn't mean anything.

Really? It's right wing?
My friends in it told me it was Third Way (centrism).
Or do you mean it's "right wing" when in the context of the Brazillian political spectrum?

There's obviously a lot of sinistrisme in Brazilian politics, since IIRC, the right is still closely associated with the military junta.

The PSDB is pretty right-wing in the Brazilian context, and their Presidents have been pretty neoliberal. Of course, they claim to be centrists, but most Brazilian parties also claim to be centrists.
