Illuminati(Steve Jackson Games)
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 neighbors 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 neighbors decide who gets the milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors 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 neighbors 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.

HA!

Yeah, you have two cows...and one day you can't make your milk payment because one of the cows is sick. So while you are sleeping, the government comes along and takes your cows. You get up and all you have is an empty field and you going: "Where the hell are my cows?"

Than you are poor like everyone else.

THAT is sad but true. scream

Think there's a leftist biased here. I mean, I may favor pure socialism and communism, but the fact that we have eight different types of Marxism....... Yeah.

Still, this is a great way to simply explain a complicated bit of Politics, and instead of fighting, you just go "Huh... That's what you believe."

It'd be great if the world was just one giant hippie commune.

Or you could just take the whole world and stuff it in the TARDIS. (Of course there'd be room...) That way, theoretically, at least people couldn't shoot at each other. Supposedly.

But it would be nice if the whole world was one big hippie commune. Except less drugs and fringed vests.

Yeah, ditch the drugs... but... whats wrong with fringed vests... xd xd

It's hard to say, communism isn't really that great- sounds good in theory but doesn't really work in practice. But capitalism isn't exactly the best method either, which is what's going on now. Maybe socialism or something. ... but I'm not entirely sure exactly what socialism is....

... Politics is just show business for ugly people, if you ask me.

The point is... you rarely get to keep both your cows and the milk the produce... or the equivalent.
