APAD: Under capitalism man exploits man. Under socialism,

the reverse is true. - Polish proverb

 

 

This is from Leo Rosten's 'Carnival of Wit,' which I chanced upon earlier this

week. The proverb is young: it cannot precede Das Kapital and since I've lived

under both regimes, I can personally testify.
