In the 70's and 80's, jokes were officially tolerated as a way for people to blow off steam. Here are a couple, learned from my film course professor.
"What's the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy? The same as between a jacket and a straight jacket."
This next one requires a bit of explanation. In the 50's, the police would come by in the middle of the night, ring the doorbell, and then search apartments and/or take people away to prison camps.
So, one night, a couple hear the doorbell ring in the middle of the night. Very worried, the rush downstairs to open the door, and their landlord says, "don't worry. It's just that the building is on fire."
