This allegedly funny picture illustrates in a good way what is so destructive and evil about collectivist ideologies like communism. And since I myself have no sense of style or fashion, I'm not talking about their dressing habits. Instead this image illustrates how a controlled market like that of a planned economy is too inert to anticipate and supply the goods that people want. And what's worse, it cannot even supply the goods that people need. It's not only the most inefficient way of running the marketplace, it has no motivation whatsoever to do better. And as always, it's the individual who suffers in the collective... like this communist representative who has not been able to get hold of enough efficient sun screen.
