I'm surprised that the only joke I'd previously heard about communism isn't already here.

A young man applies for membership of the Communist Party and has to face a selection committee.

Official: 'Welcome comrade, we are going to ask you a few questions to test your suitability. First question; comrade, what would you do if you owned two houses?'

Young man: 'Comrade, I would give one away to the poor.'

Official: 'Excellent answer, comrade. Second question; comrade, what would you do if you owned two cars?'

Young man: 'Comrade, I would give one away to the poor.'

Official: 'Very good, comrade. Third question; comrade, what would you do if you owned two pairs of shoes?'

Young man: 'But comrade, I do own two pairs of shoes.'
