They even dug a tunnel.

The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall

An abandoned bakery, some shovels and a few buckets were all it took for a few university students to defy the symbolic barrier of the Cold War

Problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.

Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price?
Money green, or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today

I like how this features a fuzzy creature that has nothing to do with the text.

• Socialism: You have two cows and you have to give one away to your neighbor who had none.
• Communism: The government takes away your cow and gives you a bit of milk once in a while.
• Fascism: The government takes away your cows and sells the milk.
• Nazism: The government takes away your cows and have you shot.
• Bureaucracy: The government takes away your cows, one of them is killed, the other is milked, but the milk is thrown away.
• Traditional capitalism: You exchange one cow for a bull, breed cattle that you sell, make a profit, save money and retire.
• Modern capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your daughter company in South Korea. Backed up by a bank loan guaranteed by your mother-in-law you swap this for four cows somewhere in the US. You request EU subsidies for milk production anyway, so you can buy futures on the cattle market. At one point someone might find out your stables are empty and you know nothing about cows.

It adds to the "random & meaningless" theme of the thread.
Like all these guys wearing hats....
