RIVERDALE, NY—31-year-old Darlene Austin has always been an avid supporter of socialism, but she recently had an eye-opening experience.

“At a vegan cafe, I met a guy from Venezuela,” Austin explained. “I asked him about how great it must be to live in a country working to end economic inequality, but then he went into a long diatribe about oppression, poverty, and murder.”

Austin admitted she didn’t listen to much of it since she always knew that socialism would have “a few bumps along the way.” But then the man said something that really concerned her: he asked what the crispy bread slathered with a green substance on her plate was.

“He didn’t even know what avocado toast was!” Austin exclaimed. She asked him about whether they had lots of avocados in Venezuela, but he explained it wasn’t just an issue of the availability of avocados but also not being able to get bread and sometimes not having electricity for a toaster.

“He said they never have avocado toast in Venezuela,” Austin stated, looking visibly shaken. “This made me completely rethink things. Socialism seemed like a great idea—a way to make sure everyone was taken care of even if they ran out of their parents’ money—but now I think it might not be ready for prime time.”

Austin said she was still glad Venezuela was trying it out, but wanted to wait until “they get all the kinks out of an equal distribution of avocados” before trying socialism in the United States.

Lots of noise about avocados on the net and they're not all satire in nature.....

How Your Avocado Toast Is Funding Mexican Drug Cartels

Don't Worry, You'll Still Be Able To Buy Avocados If Trump Shuts The Border With Mexico

AVOCADO PRICES COULD TRIPLE IF DONALD TRUMP SHUTS MEXICO BORDER

Somehow this has all passed by me can't ever recall eating on myself ....

If California would turn the water back on in the San Joaquim Valley, we wouldn't need avocadoes from Mexico.

20 years ago Venezuela was the richest country in South America. It's economy and standard of living was second only to the USA in the western Hemisphere. Then came social justice ala Socialism.

The OP is likely a spoof. Millennials may well be ignorant but I doubt the story hinges on avocado toast. Likely something less spectacular like Toilet Paper. But avocadoes are more interesting.

Unless, of course, you are out of TP. That is a serious sh!t moment.

This could turn out to be like in WW II with rationing. It's what had to be done then and I consider the border situation to be almost warlike. Most people who are 10 yrs older than I will remember rationing but they and their parents bit the bullet and carried on. Bring it on!! I know there will be some who will price gouge in shortages and if they are boycotted then their price will drop.
