Is this all there is? Because this sounds more or less reasonable, if a bit naive, and a far cry from "the government will decide whether you need shoes."

It's so anodyne, you could have titled it with "CNN interviews Pope Francis," and people would have believed it.

"All there is?" This is communist speech and ideology. Don't minimize it. See my other reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34214909

Are you sure? This is a president that decades ago openly stated his objective was the slow installation of socialism in Brazil. Then the possiblity that he had changed his mind since then was raised. I presented to you a two year old video of him defending basic communist ideology. He hasn't changed his mind.

Do you have any doubt at all that this guy wants a communist government that decides such things for its citizens?
