In socialist society , squandering critical and scarce state owned commodities such as TP by decorating your neighbors yard is no laughing matter - it's a jailing offense

In capitalist society, decorating your neighbors yard with TP is only a jailing offense if the neighbor has no sense of humor

Venezuelans will be reduced to using the state-run newspapers for their TP, if any of those are still publishing.... seems a most appropriate use for commie newspapers.

I love the perspective.

In a nutshell, it boils down to the concept that in a capitalist society, something like toilet paper can be manufactured so cheaply that wasting it doesn’t provoke any sense of outrage in anybody, except in the case of the person whose tree got TP’d...

In a socialist society, it is the equivalent of burning money, and given the value of currencies in those countries...I guess that isn’t a good comparison. More like giving away gold or something.

I kind of like that perspective.
