It's actually a Yakov Smirnoff joke, but either way it doesn't really advance the conversation very much.

Yup, the original was:

“In America, you can always find a party.

In Soviet Russia, Party always finds you!”

I have always thought it was all his pun on: "Under capitalism, a man exploits a man. Under socialism, it's the other way around!" But I may have been mistaken.

It's a Slashdot cliche joke to be precise.
