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 all the milk you need.

Bureaucratic Socialism: Your cows 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 and eggs 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.

Real World Communism:
You share two cows with your neighbors. You and your neighbors bicker about who has the most “ability” and who has the most “need”. Meanwhile, no one works, no one gets any milk, and the cows drop dead of starvation.

 

... What? XD

my gov teacher totally had this as a poster except there were more of them xD I don't remember all of them but one was definitely 'Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.'

Isn't that how it all went? XD

No, seriously. I think that's a brilliant way to sum up the social systems.
