Definitions of Political Systems
Pulpit Helps, August, 1992, p. 8
1. Communism: You have two cows. The government takes both of them and gives you part of the milk.
2. Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
3. Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both cows and sells you the milk.
4. Nazism: You have two cows. The government takes both cows, then shoots you.
5. Bureaucracy: You have two cows. The government takes both of them, shoots one, milks the other, then pours the milk down the drain.
6. Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one of them and buy a bull.
7. In a democracy, everyone has two cows, then a vote is taken, and whatever the majority decides to do, you do, and that's no bull!
