When toilet paper becomes a luxury item you have achieved communism. You should trademark that. 8-)

The way Chavez came into power was by telling the Venezuelan people that they had similar rights to things like food, shelter and health care which they were “denied”. Now they have less food, less shelter and no health care It's the thought that counts, man.

Another failed socialist state.
Their promises, words and slogans are certainly fit to wipe one's a$$ with if one could figure out a way to turn them into toilet paper.
But even a socialist state fails to do that. Taking over the paper factory for 15 days or even 15 years won't help change that.

I cannot claim authorship to it but it was posted by someone else on a thread here on FR a few years ago and stuck in my head as something funny, sad and true. Let us say it is out there in the public domain for anyone to use.

Half the population of Venezuela’s reaction? “What’s toilet paper?”
