Old soviet joke.
"Who is your mother?" "Our great Soviet country." "Who is your father?" "Our dear comrade Stalin." "What's your greatest desire?" "Becoming an orphan."
Soviet Orphan's Wish
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
This is a dark joke that plays on the idea of the oppressive Soviet regime, where the state and its leader, Stalin, were supposed to be the ultimate parental figures. The punchline, where the child desires to be an orphan, suggests that being under their 'care' is so undesirable that even being an orphan is preferable. It's a satirical take on the lack of personal freedom and the fear associated with the regime.
