A dejected Communist Party candidate trudges home after the polls close. "So, Marek, how many votes did you get?" asks his wife. "Two," he responds. She slaps him hard across the face. "What was that for?"

A Soviet citizen had died.
'Well,' he was asked in heaven, 'which would you rather, the communist heaven or the capitalist hell?'
The Soviet citizen smiled. At least he was allowed a free choice. And of course he chose the capitalist hell.
A year went by and the citizen applied to God to be transferred to the communist heaven.
'By all means,' said God, 'you may transfer.'
The citizen moved to the communist heaven where the inhabitants crowded round him and asked: 'Well, what is it like in the capitalist hell?'
'It's exactly the same as here as far as I can see,' says the citizen. 'Even the work is the same. They're pumping water too.'
'How many hours do they work?'
"The same as you do.'
'Then why did you want to come here? It seems there's no difference between here and there.'
'Oh-h-h . . .' says the citizen, 'there's a very big difference. There you have to work from eight a.m. to eight p.m. whereas here first they organize a party meeting, then a conference, then they hound you to another meeting, then it's smoke time and by then the pump could have broken down . . .'
At a May Day parade, a very old Jew carries a slogan, "Thank you, comrade Stalin, for my happy childhood!"
The Party representative approaches the old man. "What's that? Are you deriding our Party? Everybody can see, when you were a child, comrade Stalin was not yet born!"
"That's precisely what I'm grateful to him for!" the Jew said.
