Mine goes like that:

In a classroom, the teacher asks every kid to bring up a 10 lei note to donate for helping people against the poverty in Burundi. The next day everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

  • Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
  • Dad said there is no poverty in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks everyone to bring 10 lei to donate for helping people against the famine in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

  • Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
  • Dad said there is no famine in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks children to bring 10 lei in order to support the Communist Party in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings 10 lei each, but Bulă brings 30 lei. When asked why, Bulă said:

  • Dad told me that if there is a Communist Party in Burundi, there might also be famine and poverty as well.

    I haven’t lived under it obviously, but here’s one from early Nazi Germany:

    Mr. Schmidt returns from a 1-year sentence of political re-education in the Dachau concentration camp.
    His neighbor asks what it’s like inside.

    He says “Oh, it’s really not as bad as you hear. In the morning, you can sleep in till 9. There’s a hearty breakfast with eggs and bacon. Then you get leasure time till 11, you can read books from the library, do sports or just relax. They invite you to educational or political lectures if you like. Lunch is a 3 course meal. In the afternoon, after another hour of leisure time, you can choose from a wide variety of activities. Dinner is luxurious, and you get to enjoy free time again until lights are out at 11pm. It was really quite enjoyable, and I learned a lot about what great things the Fuhrer and the party are doing for Germany.”

    The neighbor is surprised: “Really? That sounds so different from what Mr. Schneider from down the block said. He told everyone it was horrible and inhumane, and that the nazi guards were monsters.”

    Schmidt says “Oh, but he couldn’t have hated it that much. Last thing I heard, he’s already gone back inside.”
