                                    The "Isms" explained using cows!

1) Feudalism

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

2) 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 chicken farmers.  You have to take care of the chickens the government took away from the chicken farmers.

3) Representative Democracy

You have two cows.  You elect someone with the best face for TV to tell you how to take care of your cows.

4) Bureaucracy

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

5) Fascism + Nazism

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

6) Capitalism

You have two cows.  You sell one and buy a bull.

7) Anarchism

You have two cows.  Keep both the cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.

8) Surrealism

You have two giraffes.  The government makes you take harmonica lessons.

Hope you enjoyed this!

He forgot to mention "Communism"---his caption here probably would've been: "...you have two cows; the State takes both cows and praises you for being such a good comrade, then makes you stand in a line for hours to get a little grain..."

Or... Communism - everyone keeps their cows together and help each other protect and care. They share the milk and burgers equally and so no one is hungry or thirsty

That's not how REAL Communism ever worked! There are countless reports of the old Soviet Union regarding the perpetually long lines every day just to get food; the State owning everything (including the people); informants everywhere; no freedom of choice (the State chooses what job you're going to have, where you're going to live, etc.); cramped living conditions (reports of houses/apartments meant for maybe 5-10 people, but instead housing 20 or more).  

Maybe what YOU are referring to is some old IDEAL MARXIST UTOPIA where such a model could be possible, with people truly coexisting in a cooperative collective. But that is simply not what actually happened once old Marx dies and then Lenin/Stalin took over...that's when Marxism was thrown out the window in favor of Communism!! The TRUTH is, in Communist countries, a lot of people go hungry/thirsty, and there is no hope (for those who resist the brainwashing, that is)...!!!...

Interesting post, but isn't that politics ?

This perfectly describes sections of every city I’ve lived in, right here in the US.

 “cramped living conditions (reports of houses/apartments meant for maybe 5-10 people, but instead housing 20 or more). “

And that's capitalism!

It’s true that it’s occurring in this country, but the reasons are very diverse and not solely due to capitalism. I know you aren’t making the statement that it is the cause, but it is the reality.

I think even you know that's very silly.

Avatar of Bulliedofthesite

No. That's communism. My point (wits end is smart enough to realise) is that isms are wrong. Not because they are are bad in themselves but because of the faults of those who implement them. Communism is great but people stopped it working.

Irl though, after the honorable leader and associates have had their fill, there's not much to go around.

In communism all can bump. In capitalism only those who are rich enough to afford it can bump :) :)
