...what happened when Lee Harvey Oswald went to the American Embassy in Moscow:

Embassy Employee: "Mr. Oswald, why do you want to renounce your American citizenship and become a Soviet citizen?"

Oswald: "Because I'm a Marxist."

Embassy Employee: "Then you're going to be the loneliest man in Russia."

Oswald didn't get the joke.

Switching political theories: I'm currently going thru 9.000 kinds of (non-existent) Hell trying to buy a house. I'm starting to suspect everyone involved in real estate is a thief or impossible. Including me. So I'm really channeling my Inner Proudhon right now.
