Two Cows

Political Philosophies Explained
in Simple Two-Cow Terms:


SOCIALISM  You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides
you with milk. 

FASCISM You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the
milk. 

BUREAUCRACY You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one,
milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain. 

CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. 

CORPORATE You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the
milk of four cows, then act surprised when it drops dead. 

DEMOCRACY You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that
you must sell them both in order to pay the taxes to support a man in a
foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your
government. 

COHOUSING You have two cows. Some members want to buy a bull, but they
don¹t want to sell either cow.  Some want to sell both cows and build a
barn.  Some members want to milk the cows, but some feel that this would
break the universal lactic harmonic balance and would set the cows free.
Some members want to use the methane from the cows for power generation,
but others are worried about the methane causing global warming.  You
still have two cows.
