POLITICAL SYSTEMS DEFINED


POLITICAL SYSTEMS DEFINED 

Feudalism. You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the 
milk. 

Pure Democracy. You have two cows. Your neighbors decide 
who gets your milk. 

Representative Democracy. You have two cows. Your neighbors 
pick someone to decide who gets your milk. 

Pure Communism. You have two cows. Your neighbors help 
take care of them, and you all share the milk. 

Pure Socialism. You have two cows. The government takes 
them and puts them in a barn with everybody 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 everybody else's 
cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to 
take care of the chickens the government took from the 
chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk 
as the regulations say you should need. 

Fascism. You have two cows. The government takes both, 
hires you to care for them, and sells you the milk. 

Dictatorship. You have two cows. The government takes both 
and drafts you. 

Bureaucracy. You have two cows. At first, the government 
regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk 
them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes 
both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down 
the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting 
for the missing cows. 

Pure Anarchy. You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at 
a fair price, or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill 
you. 

Anarcho-Capitalism. You have two cows. You sell one and buy 
a bull. 

Surrealism. You have two giraffes. The government requires 
you to take harmonica lessons.
