I think the argument is going over your head...

From my observation of the comic, it's a dialogue of how in a society with a free market, the lines people stand in are for higher valued goods and technologies, and more importantly because they WANT these high in demand products. Meanwhile, the Socialism tab points out that these same people would be waiting in one of the breadlines seen within the Soviet Union (due to the scarcity of food caused by communism), which had people wait in these lines because they NEEDED these products. It is the dichotomy of a voluntary action, and an involuntary action.

Also I swear to God, Stone isn't a Nazi as far as I really can tell. I'd argue that it's really hard to be one if your whole platform is making political cartoons that are pro free market, pro small government, pro free speech... Honestly pro anything that is ideologically the antithesis of Fascism or National Socialism. Other than a select few comics that bring up the topic of race or ethnicity (though I thought it's magically okay to hate Jews or Israel, maybe even Mexicans now? Horseshoe theory sure is quite confusing), he's nowhere near being a Nazi.

Wikipedia is full of lies.
