SOCIALISM You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbour.

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.

that ain't funny, that's true

Not quite. Socialism taxes you out of one cow and makes it too expensive and difficult for you to keep the other, and sells you the milk. Socialists and communists, on the other hand, get their milk, and the cows, free. The difference is in methodology - you vote for socialists.
