SOCIALISM You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.
COMMUNISM You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with milk.
FASCISM You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the milk.
BUREAUCRACY You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.
CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
CORPORATE You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows, then act surprised when it drops dead.
DEMOCRACY You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that you must sell them both in order to pay the taxes to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

and in reply to skinem: in any one location, the prevailing political system does not usually last much longer than the lifetime of the average cow anyway. The bull can have intermittent status and can be brought in by any government whenever a scapegoat (scapebull?) is required to take the blame for government ineptitude, lack of foresight, and genetic engineering............the latter occupies hours of hazy speculative journalism on radio and in the newspapers these day.

Actually, "surprised" is not quite the correct word. Hurt, disappointed in the stubbornly poor performance of the lazy cow; then stoically cutting off benefits to the foundling calf before heading out to the golf course, comes closer to the mark.CORPORATE You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the milk of four cows, then act surprised when it drops dead.
