    We just had this discussion as well with the 'bananas under socialism' discourse.

    You get choice because others don't.

      Capitalism is wonderful! Look at all these cheap bananas for sale in the temperate zone! It's like magic with absolutely no externalized consequences!

      The GDR imported some food items from Vietnam and other fraternity socialist countries. Those items were often not so well stocked in the FRG. You can ask around in urban centers after gentrification today would they rather have bananas only rarely but a flat that is theirs or bananas but no flat?
