00:00:00.000 you don't know what you're asking for when you ask for socialism you don't know when you say
00:00:03.280 tax the rich the riches starts going away and businesses close less jobs less money
00:00:09.360 i come from a country with socialist ideas so okay i know it's a scam yeah what country is
00:00:15.040 that brazil brazil so uh south america has a deep uh well deep roots in socialism like from the
00:00:23.440 people to the government yeah and it's just i say that i'm more of a communist than most
00:00:28.960 communist because i believe in power to the people but with the whole tax the rich the rich go away
00:00:36.000 and then you start you know taxing middle class then a poor class so in brazil now it is better
00:00:42.640 not to work than to get minimum wage because you're not exerting yourself but you're still
00:00:48.240 getting money from the government so right now we have uh trillions of dollars in debt which
00:00:55.200 which is 90% of our GDP.
00:00:56.840 Wow.
00:00:57.560 Yeah.
00:00:58.240 So, yeah, we tried a lot.
00:01:01.600 So like the rest of Latin America,
00:01:03.740 it's moving away from the social democrats
00:01:08.120 and socialism, so you can see Colombia, Chile, Argentina.
00:01:13.320 So they're all moving away.
00:01:14.660 Yeah, I've heard of that.
00:01:17.320 So you said you're like more of a communist?
00:01:19.300 No, no.
00:01:20.220 I say that I'm more of a communist than most communists.
00:01:24.360 I'm not a communist, but no, no, I like to present myself as a libertarian because I believe that as an individual I am the smallest minority possible, so I know what I need.
00:01:37.920 The government does that. So sure, like we have, we pay the taxes and then those taxes go to medical bills of people who don't pay taxes.
00:01:49.340 Sure, I think that should happen
00:01:51.620 But part of my money is going to places that I would never use
00:01:55.760 So that money could be used by me to fill my needs and when left over then I help people
00:02:03.480 so yeah, I
00:02:05.480 Sadly we are not gonna get out of it easily
00:02:08.960 So yeah, you had a lot of people come up saying they're socialists or something
00:02:12.820 I just put the signs out just like five minutes ago. Oh, that's nice
00:02:16.180 No, you're the first person.
00:02:17.180 This is my first time in Toronto, and I'm from the country, and it makes my skin crawl
00:02:25.500 a little bit. 0.77
00:02:26.500 Yeah, honestly, if I have any message to people here from the first world, you don't know
00:02:32.860 what you're asking for when you ask for socialism.
00:02:35.360 You don't know.
00:02:36.360 So, I've seen people just go into poverty over nothing.
00:02:41.160 People get censored.
00:02:42.160 Right now, in Brazil, Discord was banned.
00:02:44.160 Have you heard of it?
00:02:45.160 I know that they've been banning a lot, yeah.
00:02:47.160 So, Twitter was banned, Telegram was banned, but then, like, both been stated.
00:02:53.160 But there was a crime, I think, committed on Instagram.
00:02:57.160 And our First Lady, who has no powers in the government, said,
00:03:02.160 Oh, we're gonna ban Discord. And now Discord is banned. 1.00
00:03:05.160 Wow.
00:03:07.160 Yeah, so it doesn't need to make any sense. 0.54
00:03:09.160 Oh, and our President is from the Workers' Party, right?
00:03:13.160 but he spends more money than anybody else.
00:03:15.900 So the workers are starving, and they have been starving for decades.
00:03:20.760 But, you know, I don't see us getting out of it,
00:03:24.660 because we always fall for the socialism rules.
00:03:27.680 I have a question for you.
00:03:29.160 So, you've seen socialism and how bad it's been for Brazil.
00:03:33.140 What was the pathway down?
00:03:34.660 What messaging did your government give,
00:03:36.980 or the people who were saying, hey, we need to implement this?
00:03:39.380 What was their message?
00:03:40.180 the message was we're gonna end starvation so we still have starvation 20
00:03:47.500 years after because the workers party they've been in and out of power for
00:03:51.100 about yeah 20-ish years we were doing well because of the economic growth that
00:03:56.780 the world experienced in the middle of the 2000s and it was the whole oh we're
00:04:02.180 gonna tax the rich they did for a while but now like the banks they have a lot
00:04:08.020 money the rich and powerful they're allies of the workers party as you do in socialism
00:04:14.260 um and it's just like taxing and and saying that that those taxes are going to be targeted towards
00:04:19.780 the rich they're not they're targeted towards everybody so you never see a dime you don't see
00:04:26.260 a dime so crime is on the rise uh the killing of women is on the rise the killing against
00:04:33.060 and LGBT people was on the rise it didn't solve anything we're worse now than we were in covid
00:04:40.820 so that was a pathway just like we had an economic boom oh we're gonna end starvation and then 1.00
00:04:47.780 slowly trickling down trickling down and then uh our former president was arrested
00:04:54.420 i am not a fan of him but like the economy was better and then we have the workers party again
00:05:00.020 and it just collapsed our economy collapsed so yeah we are not socialist by name but everything but
00:05:08.820 yeah so thank god i'm here thank god my family can keep me here and now i'm just trying to do my
00:05:16.180 best here but i i'm really sorry for my brothers in my country for my brothers and sisters in my
00:05:23.620 my country they don't deserve that so yeah i don't think anyone deserves that no so like i know that
00:05:30.080 toronto is a very liberal city i'm okay with that but you don't know what you're asking for when you
00:05:36.020 say tax the rich the rich starts going away then business is close less jobs less money going
00:05:43.180 around it starts collapsing the whole chain starts collapsing so yeah and you know of course i have
00:05:49.060 my degree in accounting and business in business management so I'm just not 0.91
