This reminds me of an east german joke that I heard when I was serving in the Jugoslav army. It was about a man in an underground resistance movement, who broke into a government building, you know? He got to the office he was looking for, he was looking for documents on his imprisoned comrades and so on. He didn't find the documents, but he found a safe and thought he would make good money, but when he open the safe - he finds the documents. Haa-haa, because communism is poor funny joke.
But the stasi officer comes to his office, in the middle of the night! And the man is still there! The man tries to sneak out of the window, but is shot in the hand by the officer. As the man clings to the waterrail from the fourth floor, his right hand torn off very bloodily and so on, the officer recognizes him from his investigation files and is - nice surprise - delighted to see this man. They both recognize each other ash this evil, inhuman creature their ideologies have made eachother into, but they also know eachother personally. The officer, however, knows something that the man doesn't, something very personal and cruel and so on.
So the officer says "There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. Join me and with our combined *sniffs* shtrength, we can end this unneeded conflict, and bring order to DDR and so on and so on", to which the man, of course, yells that he'll never join the stasi. But the officer continues: "If only you knew the power of the communishm. Your dear idol, the reactionary Konrad never told you what happened to your father", which angers the orphan underground fighter. "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
The officer smiles and turnsh to the camera and says, "No, I am your father" and so on and so on. haa-haa it was all a pop-culture reference, not even a joke
