Jerry's punishment for being an Apathetic Citizen to the Communist threat (e.g. missing PTA or Reserve meetings) is being plunged into a Red Nightmare!

Cultural Posturing

comment
Cultural Posturing: An in-universe example is hilariously a double example on a meta level. When Jerry sees an exhibit claiming the telephone was invented by the Russians, he yells, "That was made by Alexander Graham Bell! AND HE WAS AN AMERICAN!" Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, thus a British citizen, while he later became a Canadian and then American too. So it would be equally plausible to call him British or a Canadian.

Commie Land: Oddly, some of the worst aspects of this trope are actually averted. For example, communist rule doesn't stop Jerry and his neighbors from being comfortably middle-class. On the other hand the judge makes it clear he's executing Jerry for being, "an ugly remnant of the diseased Bourgeois class".
