The six contradictions of socialism in the USSR

• There is no unemployment - yet no one is working.
• No one is working - yet the factory quotas are fulfilled.
• The factory quotas are fulfilled - yet the stores have nothing to sell.
• The stores have nothing to sell - yet people's homes are full of stuff.
• People's homes are full of stuff - yet no one is happy.
• No one is happy - yet the voting is always unanimous.

Already in America I discovered that most of my old Soviet jokes didn't work in translation. It wasn't so much the language difference as the fact that Americans had no first-hand knowledge of a totalitarian government, ideological uniformity, and shameless propaganda.

But that is changing. The more America "progresses" back to the Soviet model, the more translatable the old Soviet jokes become.

Let's see how an old Soviet joke can be rewritten into a new American joke.

The six contradictions of socialism in the United States of America

• America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
• Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
• They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
• Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
• The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
• They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
