DrGull1888's video: 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.
