national socialism

[MaryL]

VS Russian & Chinese socialism: the economics. In fact: Its basically an ponzi scheme. Nobody ever works for the good of the many. Second of all, it's leaders aren't held to the same standards of the proletariat, ever. Because this is just how human beings are. Rinse wash repeat...communism just doesn't work on the grand scale.

Seven paradoxes of the socialist state:

Nobody works, but the plan is always fulfilled. The plan is fulfilled, but the shelves in the stores are empty. The shelves are empty, but nobody starves; nobody starves, but everybody is unhappy; everybody is unhappy, but nobody complains; nobody complains, but the jails are full.


From the questions to Armenian radio joke cycle:

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “When the final phase of socialism, namely communism, is built, will there still be thefts and pilfering?”
We’re answering: “No, because everything will be already pilfered during socialism.”

….

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “Is it possible to build socialism in Sahara desert?”
We are answering: “Possible, but you will end up with a shortage of sand.”

…

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “We are told that the communism is already seen at the horizon.” Then, what is a horizon?”
We’re answering: “Horizon is an imaginary line which moves away each time you approach it.”

…

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “What is permitted and what is prohibited?”
We’re answering: “In England, what is permitted, is permitted, and what is prohibited, is prohibited.
In America everything is permitted except for what is prohibited.
In Germany everything is prohibited except for what is permitted.
In France everything is permitted, even what is prohibited.
In the USSR everything is prohibited, even what is permitted.

…

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “What is the shortest joke?”
We’re answering: “Communism.”

…

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: “What is the most permanent feature of our socialist economy?”
We’re answering: “Temporary shortages.”

...

Socialism is a system of governance that heroically overcomes problems that do not exist under other systems.

Let’s Laugh at Communism

Because if you don’t laugh about the Bolshevik Revolution, you might cry.

communism works the same way as slavery. From the point of view of the use of labor, it works well, from the point of view of technological progress, it is bad.
