Because Bernie Sanders.
And that chicka from Westchester Co.
Why Doesn’t Venezuela Have Toilet Paper?
Trump’s fault, of course.

It’s a good question...
As for Cornel West, racist academic and intellectual fraud.
Because them greedy, stinking capitalist pigs take the land, force my people in barrios, and rob my people blind! This. Is. A. Travesty. The right people are just not in charge!
Tucker doesn’t have a killer instinct. He should have added “how come the citizens are killing and eating zoo animals to survive and how come people have no jobs?”. I’m almost sure this liberal overrated pile of puke West, has an Amazon account.
Yeah, but Tucker has vastly improved from his bow-tied days. Remember those nerdy days when he looked like The Office reject?
Everyone wants to bring up Venezuela but not Denmark, Norway or the other relatively successful socialistic states around the world.
They have toilet paper and a standard of living equal to the US.
We need a more nuanced argument than 'socialism bad'.
I think the bow-tie wuss-style is a front. An effective one. It’s a signal or facade to show liberals he’s a weak p*ssy and entices libtards to say their cliched socialist speeches while he cuts them down.
No let this asshat talk. He’s an intellectual midget who shoots himself in the foot with his stupidity.
Toilet paper?! What are you, rich?! They’re running out of water.

___________________________________
The belief that the Scandinavian countries are socialistic in the sense Cornel West, Bernie Sanders and their ilk want America to become is a MYTH.
They are FAR from being Venezuelan.
Let’s get this straight: Social Democracy Is Not Democratic Socialism
In the Scandinavian countries, like all other developed nations, the means of production are primarily owned by private individuals, not the community or the government, and resources are allocated to their respective uses by the market, not government or community planning.
While it is true that the Scandinavian countries provide things like a generous social safety net and universal healthcare, an extensive welfare state is not the same thing as socialism.
What guys like Bernie Sanders and his supporters confuse as socialism is actually social democracy, a system in which the government aims to promote the public welfare through heavy taxation and spending, within the framework of a capitalist economy. This is what the Scandinavians practice.
FURTHERMORE, The Scandinavians embrace a brand of free-market capitalism that exists in conjunction with a large welfare state, known as the “Nordic Model,” which includes many policies that democratic socialists would likely abhor.
For example, democratic socialists are generally opponents of global capitalism and free trade, but the Scandinavian countries have fully embraced these things.
The Economist magazine describes the Scandinavian countries as “stout free-traders who resist the temptation to intervene even to protect iconic companies.”
Perhaps this is why Denmark, Norway, and Sweden rank among the most globalized countries in the entire world. These countries all also rank in the top 10 easiest countries to do business in.
Oh yeah, How do supporters of Bernie Sanders feel about the minimum wage? You will find no such government-imposed floors on labor in Sweden, Norway, or Denmark.
Instead, minimum wages are decided by collective-bargaining agreements between unions and employers; they typically vary on an occupational or industrial basis. Union-imposed wages lock out the least skilled and do their own damage to an economy, but such a decentralized system is still arguably a much better way of doing things than having the central government set a one-size-fits-all wage policy that covers every occupation nationwide.
What about EDUCATION?
Yeah, what about it? In a move that would be considered radically pro-capitalist by young Americans who #FeelTheBern, Sweden adopted a universal school choice system in the 1990s that is nearly identical to the system proposed by libertarian economist Milton Friedman his 1955 essay, “The Role of Government in Education.”
In practice, the Swedish system involves local governments allowing families to use public funds, in the form of vouchers, to finance their child’s education at a private school, including schools run by the dreaded for-profit corporation.
Tell that to socialist sympathizers like New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio.
So, enough about bringing up the Scandinavians.
Remember this, and it is worth repeating -— SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IS NOT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM.
Communism in theory is beautiful and kind. The only problem with communism is it ignores human nature. When the motive to work for personal gain is removed one ceases to work. When all powers are gathered centrally in the name of social justice, tyranny always follows and then hunger, strife, civil war and the death of millions.
It always works that way.

Good post. It seems to be cultural. Look to where people want immigrate, lawfully or not. They aren’t flooding into Venezuela, they love getting into the Scandinavian countries.
Freegards
Because toilet paper is a symbol of the bourgeoisie.
True Socialism/Communism has no need of toilet paper. The Proletariat will strike their bums with their fingers.
Scandinavia has largely backed away from Socialism.
Islam? Not so much. Troubled timez ahead.
These socialists typically never ran a successful business. Most of them never worked a day in the private sector.
