My parents lived through socialist Allende's Chile. You saw a line and you got in it no matter what it was for. We also used newspaper for our butts. So dont throw out your "what happened " book or the neighbor's NYT paper.

I read this about the former Soviet Union.

The rationale was: If there's a line, then there's something I will want, and may not be able to get later.

My parents grew up in communism as well. The kids stood in line when the parents couldn't. You better hope there was still bread/butter/whatever you needed when you got to the front of the line... otherwise you got nothing.
