Three communists walk into a bar: one orders a $15 mixed cocktail, another a $10 Martini, and the third a $6 beer. When the bill arrives, based on their mantra, they are forced to split it equally.
The following week, the three return to the bar once again, but this time they request separate checks, so the bartender asks them why they're not splitting the bill equally, since in communism, everyone pays the same fair share. The three communists reluctantly agree, and once again they divide the bill into three equal parts.
The following week, the three communists return, but with a mob of devoted followers, and they protest against the bartender to change the prices of all their drinks to the price of the cheapest drink on the menu.
Out of fear that his business will be vandalized or burned down, the bartender agrees. So the following week, all the communists enter and enjoy their drinks at $6 with equalized prices, and celebrate the successes of communism.
The communists continue with this for several more weeks, until one Friday they return to the bar and find it closed, with a sign outside saying that the bar has shut down due to bankruptcy.
And that, comrades, is how communism works.
