| Kim Il-Sung went on a tour of the countryside and met an old man. Kim Il-Sung asked: "When were you happier, before the revolution or after the revolution?" "I was happier before the revolution." Kim Il-Sung was displeased, but asked again: "Why is that?" "Before the revolution I had two pieces of clothes, but now I only have one." Kim Il-Sung laughed and said: "That's it? Just because of clothes? There are many in Africa who walk around with no clothes at all." The old man widened his eyes and said: "Africa had two revolutions already?" A leftist agitator from South Korea visited North Korea. To welcome him, there was a grand feast at Pyongyang Mokran-gwan. The feast had an amazing selection of rare food and drinks: roasted eel, a whole roasted calf, ginseng liquor... The agitator was impressed and said: "I am very surprised. I have never seen this kind of feast." The North Korean representative, in a quivering voice, replied: "Same here. Thank you so much, comrade. We will never forget this." A: There is a new power plant in Hamheung-si. B: No, I'm just coming back from there, but I didn't see a power plant. A: And there is a new chemical factory in Kimjeongsuk-gun. B: I was there a week ago but I didn't see any factory... A: Comrade! Stop running around and read the newspaper once in a while. A CNN reporter visited Pyongyang and met North Koreans. "America is a free country. If the president is not doing a good job, you can go out to Times Square and say out loud, 'Down with Barack Obama!'" A North Korean gave that a lot of thought, and proudly replied: "North Korea is a free country as well. We North Koreans can also go to the Kim Il-Sung Square and say out loud, 'Down with Barack Obama!'" More at link. |

| #4 #2: These are all recycled Soviet jokes. Posted by: g(r)omgoru Of course - Communism itself is a joke, and anywhere it's tried you get the same results - and the same jokes. |

| #3 I've heard the one about the fish before, only with Fidel as the punchline. This proves that Communism gives the same results regardless of where it is implemented. |
