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 as much milk as you need.

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM:You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone 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 and as many eggs as 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.

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. After that 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 COMMUNISM:You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.

APPLIED COMMUNISM:You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

DICTATORSHIP:You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

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

PURE DEMOCRACY:You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY:You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY:The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate".

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

CAPITALISM:You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull to start a dairy.

TOTALITARIANISM:You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.

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