Joke from communist-era Poland still rings-true...

Teen: 'Father, what's the difference between

socialists and communists?'

Dad: 'The communists shoot you right in the head,
while socialists torment you through your whole life.'

More dark humor from behind the iron curtain at
Mayakas: she was there...

I particularly enjoyed Maya's 'Truth' series on what life was like living in communist Czechoslovakia: it's a colorful first-hand account that provides a feeling for the captive environment and daily battles of living in the kind of 'progressive' socialist state that historically-clueless Obama groupies seem to think is so cool:

Pt. 1: The Border

Pt. 2: The 'Perfect Idea' Realized

Pt 3: 'The Fingers' Theory

Pt 4: Toilet Paper Lines

Part 5: Behind the Iron Curtain

Part 6: Why Communism Can't Be Realized, Ever
