>It was designed partly as a joke, but partly to demonstrate ridiculousness of communism. The goal of the game was to become a secretary general of the communist party and emigrate abroad.

I can't read the Czech link (do you know if there's a translated link or something in English?) but that seems more like from your one sentence description (and my reading of the wikipedia link) a game satirizing the ridiculousness of playing politics rather than communism?

If you go to Google Translate, type in a URL and click translate, you can translate any webpage. (Chrome has the feature built-in.)


I didn't bother with translate link, because I thought it's actually quite hard to understand the jokes anyway, but someone else did, and I have to say, it turned out better than I expected.

Just to explain the most unclear things, "mina" means mine (explosive device), and "veksl" means illegal money exchange (with western currency).

Yes, it was more about ridiculousness of the real socialism, not the idea of communism.
