Yet there are quite a few Democratic Republics where the inhabitants
vote overwhelmingly (about 99.99 per cent) in favour of their
governments.     8-)

Personally I like the joke made, I think, by Radek:

The difference is, that under Capitalism man exploits man; whereas
under Communism it's the other way round.

Substitute almost any Party for Capitalism or Communism.
