I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but it
looks like there are some new twists to it-
FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of
the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government
takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone
else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows.
The government gives you as much milk as you need.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The
government takes them and puts them in a barn with
everyone else's cows. Ex-chicken farmers care for
them. You have to take care of the chickens the
government took from the chicken farmers. The
government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as
the regulations say you should need.
FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both,
hires you to take care of them, and sells you the
milk.
PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your
neighbors help you take care of them, and you all
share the milk.
RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows.
You have to take care of them, but the government
takes all the milk.
DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows.
The government takes both and shoots you.
SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The
government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm
animals in an apartment.
MILITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes
both and drafts you.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors
decide who gets the milk.
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your
neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give
you two cows if you vote for it. After the election,
the president is impeached for speculating in cow
futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate."
BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them
sheep brains and they go mad. The government doesn't
do anything.
