overview for augusto

Title says it all. I'm in a country that has public health care, and in many aspects it is very good. Only downside is wait time. There's also less and less funding every year, less and less quality, the whole process to destroy and later privatize what is a natural monopoly (such as water, electricity, etc) and a basic necessity for human life and dignity, and so on.

With that said, is it wrong for me to benefit from what is essentially a better service (because of factors mentioned above, not because private = "better") because it is a capitalist enterprise? Same debate could arise from private energy companies, private transport providers, etc.

by people walking by and making comments you mean people from outside the protest, right?

the white house

First time in the US and in Washington DC. Thought Supreme Leader Biden's Palace was bigger...

Besides that, experiencing the imperial core for the first time after becoming a commie has been interesting, to say the least. United Statesians seem like great people, it's just too bad they're indoctrinated as hell when it comes to leftist ideas.

Cheers from Brazil!

thank you for your reply, comrade. interesting point and thank you for linking the c/firearms

I didn't really have any good reasons to get a gun, I just wanted to get started on a hobby I found interesting (and maybe use that hobby in a 0.000001% chance of a revolution). I find socialist-made weaponry interesting because they're not made for a professional army, but rather the people in general. it's a philosophy different than american/european weapons from what I can gather

yeah basically I just wanted my personal collection of weird shit lol

The Question is rather simple: should I as communist (and a Brazilian) own a gun? I'm not going to lie, I like weapons and the art that is making them. That's the only real reason I wanted to get a gun license. I wanted to collect old Soviet weapons and maintain them for the sake of it.

I'm also new to socialism and communism in general, so sorry if I'm dumb by asking this

cheers, comrades
