Actually yes. I've actually lived with friends who were registered members of the Communist Party of Brazil (friends in college). They seemed pretty rational, although they seemed to have too much faith in the State. From what I hear, American Communists (on average) are pretty anti-State on quite a few issues, so I think I could get along with them better. Plus, Far Leftist chicks turn me on.

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.

Which one Huh

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.

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, Sad

The PSDB is a right-wing party Grin 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?
