Post your favourite Communist jokes here. A few to get things going...

---

An American and a Russian General meet up at Disarmament talks and start boasting about their armies. The Russian general says: "My army is the best fed army in the world. Each day the Red Army soldier eats 1500 calories".

The American Army General says: "That's nothing, the US Army gets 4000 calories a day".

The Russian says: "Nonsense, nobody can eat that many Potatoes in a day".

Three workers find themselves locked up, and they ask each other what they’re in for.

The first man says: “I was always ten minutes late to work, so I was accused of sabotage.” The second man says: “I was always ten minutes early to work, so I was accused of espionage.”

The third man says: “I always got to work on time, so I was accused of having a Western watch.”

A rare visitor to Soviet Russia in the '50s wants to get the view of the man on the street. He accosts a number of strangers and asks them "What do you think of Stalin?". Each avoids his eye and scurries away until one man, saying nothing but with a barely perceptible nod, signals to the visitor to follow him. Understanding the need to keep his distance he follows the stranger up the road, onto a tram, another tram, a further walk and finally a third tram to a desolate industrial zone. He follows into an abandoned building where he finds his man in a concealed corner and joins him there. "Actually" he says "I quite like him".

Q. "Why do the KGB operate in groups of three?"

A. "One can read, one can write and one to keep an eye on the two intellectuals."

---

And of course, an old favourite:

Q. Why do Communists only drink herbal tea?

A. Because proper tea is theft.
 
Lenin and Trotsky walk into a bar...

"OUCH!"
 
Told to me by my Polish motor sergeant back in the '80s:

An American a Russian, and a Pole are on a plane. Th American pulls out a huge wad of cash, throws it out the window, and says, "In America, we are so rich, we can just throw money away!"

The Russian, not to be outdone, reaches into his bag, pull out a fur coat, and throws it out the window. "In Russia we are so rich we can throw away mink coats!"

The Pole gets up, picks up the Russian, and throws him out the window: "In Poland, we have plenty of Russians!"
 
A guy was waiting in a 2-km long line to buy meat (yes, those queues were real and common).

At some point he gets really angry and he shouts "I'm gonna kill him!!! I'm gonna go shoot him!" People around him ask: "who do you want to kill?", and he answers "Ceausescu! I wanna kill that bastard right now! The idiot that makes us be so desperate about food".

After 4 hours he gets back to the queue and people around him ask "so how did it go? Did you kill him?", and he answers with a very disappointed voice "no, the queue was even longer there..." :(



An American, a Brazilian and a Romanian were talking about danger and adrenaline.

The American says: "when we want adrenaline, I gather with 3 other friends of mine and we do bungee jumping, only one of the ropes is not tied and one of us dies when he gets that one. That adds to the tension!"

The Brazilian says: "when we want adrenaline, we make groups of 4 and we go on the most difficult parts of the Amazon with rafts, but one of the rafts is intentionally broken and whoever gets that one dies. That adds to the suspense!"

The Romanian says: "when we want adrenaline, I meet other 3 friends of mine, we say political jokes all night, and one of them is in the Securitate so next day we are all in jail.

Spoiler Explanation, since nobody's going to understand this one :
Securitate - Secret police. Known for the very common spying on people and throwing them in jail over no real reason.

It was said that 1 in 4 people was either bribed or forced to "give in" his friends, colleagues, etc. Which is why the number 4 is chosen. ;)
 
Chairman Mao was sitting comfortably in his study, smoking his 20th cigarette of the day.

Marshall Lin Biao ran in, screaming: "Chairman, Chairman, the army of Czechoslovakia is about to invade our Motherland China!"

The Chairman, slowly turned to the Marshall, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and asked gently: "So... which hotel are they staying at?"
 
A queue in Warsaw...someone gets annoyed and starts ranting and raving about how good things were before Communism and how pathetic they are now.

A shadowy figure comes up to him and makes the gesture of a gun pointed to his forehead. "Careful, comrade. Remember how lucky you are. Years ago you could have been shot for saying all that openly."

The man gets home eventually and says to his wife, "What an awful day!"

"What happened? Were they out of bread again?" his wife asks.

"Not that. They're out of bullets."
 
Chruchtchow visits Charles de Gaulle at Paris Airport.

De Gaulle: We have 4000 frenchmen here working 40 hours a day to keep the airport going.
Chruchtchow: In Moscow we have 4000 russians working 50 hours a day at the airport.
De Gaulle: 50 hours? I'd really like to make the french work 50 hours a day here too, but unfortunately we have too many cummunists in the french parliament.
 
A guy enters Stalin's office running and catches his breath trying to say something.

Stalin asks him: "what's the matter, why are you in such a rush?"

The guy answers: "3 million people are eating in the Red Square!!

Stalin: "So what?"

The guy: "They are eating with chopsticks!"
 
When the Chernobyl reactor melt down, the Soviet press agency TASS has announced: "Our nuclear plant at Chernobyl has completed its five-year plan of energy production in five miliseconds!".

Some jokes from Radio Yerevan:
Q: What's the most beautiful city in Soviet Union?
A: But of course Yerevan!
Q: Could an atomic bomb destroy your beloved town, Yerevan, with its splendid buildings and beautiful gardens?
A: Well, Moscow is also beautiful city!

Q: Under communism will we still have money?
A: No, none of that either.

Q: Is it true that Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov from Moscow won a car in a lottery?
A: In principle yes, but:
1. it wasn't Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov but Aleksander Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov;
2. he is not from Moscow but from Odessa;
3. it was not a car but a bicycle;
4. he didn't win it, but it was stolen from him.
 
I also knew the last one with a new "step" in there ("it wasn't the lottery but his mother's funeral", before 3 and 4).

Of course, the classic:

Radio Yerevan:
An American asks:
Q: What's the average salary of a worker in the Soviet Union?
A: And you are lynching negroes.
 
The president of East Germany woke up one morning and said to the sun, "Good morning, sun" and the sun replied in kind. At midday, the president said "good afternoon, sun" and the sun said the same. At night the president said "goodnight, sun" and the sun said "stuff you, I'm in the west now"
 
What nationality were Adam and Eve?

Most certainly Russian! Only Russians can run about barefooted and bare assed, without a roof over their heads, where there is only one apple for two and nevertheless cry out that they are in paradise!

What's the real ratio between the Pound, the Rouble and the Dollar?
A pound of Roubles is worth a Dollar.

What's the difference between socialism and capitalism?
Under capitalism one person exploits another person, and under socialism - the opposite.

When Nixon visited the USSR, Brezhnev showed him a Soviet phone of the latest technology in which it was possible to call Hell. Nixon called the Devil. The conversation cost only 27 Kopecks.
Upon returning to America, Nixon told everyone about the Soviet marvel. But as it turned out such a phone had been invented in America a long time ago. Nixon again called Hell, but this time the conversation cost 12 thousand dollars!
Nixon, understandedly upset, cried, 'But in the USSR a phone call to Hell costs only 27 kopecks!'
'Yes sir, but there it was a local call.'

The seven miracles of the Soviet Authority:
1. There is no unemployment, yet nobody works.
2. Nobody works, yet the Grand Scheme is carried out.
3. The Grand Scheme is carried out, yet there is nothing to buy.
4. There is nothing to buy, yet there are lineups everywhere.
5. There are lineups everywhere, yet everyone has everything.
6. Everyone has everything yet everyone is dissatisfied.
7. Everyone is dissatisfied, yet everyone votes 'Yes'.

During Stalin’s forced collectivization of agriculture, the Commissar of Agriculture visited a peasant farmer and asked him about his crops.
“Tovarishch (Comrade) Commissar, the potato harvest this year is so good that if we heaped up all the crop it would surely reach to the throne of God himself.”
The Commissar flew into a rage, saying, “You know perfectly well that God is a fictional entity.”
“Da Tovarishch, alas so are the potatoes.”
 
A Russian, a Chinese and an American talk about the food problems.
The American: We harvest wheat one time per year and every American gets more food then he needs
The Chinese: We harvest rice three times per year and still we have not enough food because we are so many
The Russian: In Soviet Union, we harvest three times per year too. First in Russia, then in Hungary and at the end in East Germany.
 
How many communists does it take to change a light bulb?

Doesn't matter, they can't change anything!

Also works with feminists...
 
This happnens under Khrushchev's "Virgin Lands" agricultural reforms.

A Kolkhoz (collective farm) worker goes to his boss:

"Comrade, comrade, we have exceeded ourselves! If we were to pile up all our potatos, they would reach the feet of God!"

"Comrade, in the USSR, there is no God"

"That's fine, Comrade, there are no potatos either!"
 
A man was sent to Siberia's Gulag.

The KGB guard interrogates him

"Vassili Ivanovich, you have been sentenced to twenty years penal labour. Why is this?"

"Comrade Commissar, I stood in Red Square and shouted 'General Secretary Brezhnev is an idiot' and I was given a five year sentence for defamation"

"But your sentence is twenty years?"

"I was given fifteen years for revealing a state secret"
