History
Leao Patricio was the fifth child born to a Portuguese Brazilian family on January 3rd, 1971, seven years after the CIA backed military coup. His father, Narciso Patricio, a loyal soldier of the Brazilian military, was killed a few months after Leao’s birth in a training mishap. Leao’s mother, Ida, was forced to support the family of five by herself. Leao’s childhood, once promising while his father was alive, was a rough one. His family, unable to continue to live in the middle class apartment they had, were forced to move into a ghetto.
Leao attended St. John the Baptist’s elementary school for ten years, and was a devout Catholic. The school was a crime magnet, mostly because of the poverty that Brazilians lived in: many families made barely a dollar a day. Leao was often robbed for the little money he had, for he was in a military family, and the social inequality of Brazil was often blamed on the military. At the age of thirteen, Leao took an interest in stopping the social inequality. He assembled a group of friends to protest the government. They were arrested, and released from jail after twelve days incarceration.
One of Leao’s teachers, Hiti Camella, a secret communist, noticed Leao’s interest in social equality, and quietly, at the end of school on March 21st, 1984, introduced him to her translated version of Marx’s Das Kapital. Swearing him to secrecy, Hiti gave Leao the book.
Leao devoured the book and the idea of Marxism, and introduced it to his friends. Most skeptical, abandoned him, afraid that they would be arrested if they were found with a communistic book. The only person who stuck by Leao was Jesusa Cois, a Latino girl who he would later marry. He returned it to Hiti and requested to read Marx’s other books, which he also devoured.
Leao was sent to jail twice more, though always quickly released. Then, in 1985, Brazil ended military rule and became democratic once again. Leao continued his campaigning. In 1989, Leao’s mother died. Mourning, Leao used his ideas of Marxism to create a political party: Liberte Partido Comunista, Portuguese for “Free Communist Party.” Jesusa and Hiti joined this party. All members forsook personal possessions, donating all their money to the party itself, which was used to feed, clothe, and house them. All decisions were made democratically. By 1990, the party had thirty members.
Throughout the early 90s the LPC grew in numbers. By 1993, it had 120 Brazilian members and 40 international members. Than, on July 14th, 1993, an American Marxist who was the heir of a billionare joined the party. His name was Teddy Boeur, and was the son of an influential shareholder of the Microsoft Corporation, and also convinced many of his friends to join. The LPC’s numbers exploded after that, reaching 10,000 members throughout the world. The LPC bought whole apartment buildings for its members, and donated much money to charity.
On September 21st, 1994, Leao married Jesusa. By then, the party was extremely influential in Brazil, and had decent representation internationally. The party’s numbers continued to soar. The rest of the decade was uneventful for the LPC.
Than, in 2003, Brazil’s government collapsed. Anarchy filled the streets. Quaonion colonists came. Than, with a dying economy, the Quaon Gamman colony attacked the Nazi nation of Greater Shambala. The Quaonions were desperate to cut loose the colony, so the LPC voted to try and use the party’s considerable fortune to buy out the land from Quaon. Eager to get rid of the failure colony, the Quaonions accepted. Most colonists from Gamma left, although a good two million remained, joining the party. LPC members from all over the world came to the new nation.
Leao is now an international representative of the party, and lives with his wife and his two year old son, Davide.
