Here’s a Russian joke from the Brezhnev era. I’ve told it here before, but evidently Dave LaMont missed it the first time around.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on farm collectivization?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the steel production goals?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: Don’t you have any opinions of your own?
Soviet citizen: Yes. But I don’t agree with them.
The “Party” would not like your joke, Comrade, but I do!
LOL!
