Political Jokes of East Germany

Sometimes I have the suspicion, that Socialism was the first hedonistic system on the globe. That is because of the bizarre politicains, characters and brands you found there. Actually I'm just pulling your leg, as in all totalitarian systems, humor was the only weapon available for the comon man to make his day-to-day-life bearable. And as in other totalitarian states it was risky to tell them. A lot of these Jokes were told in all Socialistic countries, with variations of course. Now, in the days of economical crisis, there are a lot who wish their Socialistic regimes back. But Socialism had and has it's problems which are shown in this video in a humorous way.

Some of them are the same kind of stupid right wing jokes we had back in the Warsaw Pact, but they're still funny. Nice job posting the video! I absolutely love the one with the three ships, heading for Cuba, Angola and the USSR... It depicts perfectly the Soviet imperialism in the Eastern World, which resembled the American one from the west!

Why did the newly liberated East German dig up Erich Honecker's grave?

So he could have his job back.

Two Berliner children spoke to each other over the wall. The little girl in the West says, while eating a banana, "Look - I have a banana." The boy in the East doesn't want to be inferior to her in anything and says, full of pride: "We have socialism." The girl counters: "So, we'll have socialism soon too." The boy, triumphant: "See, then you won't have any bananas anymore either!"

n the GDR, at traffic hubs and in front of supermarkets there are "banana machines". You stick a banana in and five Ostmarks come out!
