  • Government and Cows
     OP - October 26, 2012, 07:20 PM

    Found this on the Internet.  How would you amend, change or add to the list? How would a Caliphate system fit in this type of list etc.

    Quote
    FEUDALISM:  You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk and charges you a fee to keep the cows in his barn.

    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 puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows.  Ex-chicken farmers care for the cows. 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.

    NAZISM:  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 into the army.

    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. You can sell your milk, you can give it away, or your neighbours can come kill you and take your cows and milk.

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

    WELFARE STATE:  The government sets up a lottery for you to bet your milk money on. Your cows go to college on HOPE scholarships.

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

    First time I saw this on a poster was in HMV circa 2006 I think

    Anyway:

    Caliphate: Caliph and his friends have all the cows, you have nothing, now go pray.

    There was a country version of this from years ago.

    I remember one said

    " India: You have two cows. You Worship them. "

    In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

    It was obviously written by a right-winger, propably one of those Anarcho-Capitalist nuts we hear about on the internet (I've never seen one IRL though).
