Political explanation from Ann Landers (probably from the '60s)

  • Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor. 
  • Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk. 
  • Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it. 
  • Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows. 
  • Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow. 
  • Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull.
