Political Humour with Cows
|
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 of
the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes
them and put 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 eggs as the
regulations say you 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 neighbours
help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.
RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of
them, but the government takes all the milk.
CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes both
of them and shoots you.
DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and
drafts you.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbours
decide who gets the milk.
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbours pick someone to tell you who gets
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. 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 neighbours try to take the cows and
kill you.
LIBERTARIAN/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.
