Once I heard that Mulla Nasruddin had become a communist. I know him...

I was a
little puzzled. This was a miracle! I know his possessiveness.

So I asked him: "Mulla, do you know what communism means?"


He said: "I know."
I said: "Do you know that if you have two cars and somebody hasn't a car, you will
have to give one car?"
He said: "I am perfectly willing to give."
I said: "If you have two houses and somebody is without a house you will have to
give one house?"
He said: "I am perfectly ready, right now."
And I said: "If you have two donkeys you will have to give one donkey to somebody
else who has not?"
He said: "There I disagree. I cannot give, I cannot do that!"
But I said: "Why? -- Because it is the same logic, the same corollary."
He said: "No, it is not the same -- I have two donkeys, I don't have two cars."
