Listen up, dummy. Dictators are famous for starting wars and destroying peace. The joke plays on the homophones 'piece' (of food) and 'peace' (absence of war). Since they clean their plates, they 'can't leave a piece'—or, as the pun goes, they 'can't leave peace.' It's basic wordplay, even for your slow brain.
