You are collectivist communists. You deliberately confuse the property of a man and wife joined by marriage, a family home, with the pretend property claims of communist elected officials. The man and wife consented to own this house together; they did NOT consent for the rest of the town to have elected officials own their house.
My point is, a family and a country are not the same social and legal structure, just differing in the number of inhabitants. Because that equivalency is false, the picture doesn’t work as a joke.
A joke generally works from a bit of truth to illuminate a point in a humorous exaggeration. Also helps if the listener has a sense of humor sufficient to grasp both the joke and the underlying truth.
Also, your zipper (fly).

Yes, we made jokes but you proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that they weren’t funny.
