I mean socialism sounds pretty great in comparison to the rest. Everyone has a cow!

Corona Virus: A bunch of your cows die so you pay off the richest ranchers and give the cows 1/4 bail of hay each so they don't get too lazy

Socialism - You have two cows, and you pay your taxes that make your community better. You still have 2 cows. Nobody wants your damn cows.

California Corporation - you have two cows. They write a screenplay. One become Jason Bourne and the other divorces Jennifer Gardner.

I recall the fascist one being ‘the government takes both cows and shoots you’

...controlled industries as a way to make the ruling class richer so th government actually controlled less.

The ruling party still had politcal controll over the installed owners. China operates this way.

Actual Capitalism: You have no cows. People talk about saving up to buy cows. Nobody you know ever actually can. Milk prices rise annually.
HolyLemons
But India doesn't worship cows.
BillHubbard
That is not how socialism works.

You have an old post. You post it on imgur. It is popular so you receive many upvotes.

The "traditional capitalism" one looks too good though
MasterElements
I feel like the socialist one should be; You have 2 cows, you give some milk to a neighbor who doesn't have any.
Digitalwolf
Capitalism - The rich take both your cows for Wall Street, you pay for the transportation with your taxes. Work hard, die fast. Good boy

It's funny that people think this is true when Adam Smith specifically warned that those practices are anti capitalist.
Digitalwolf
Who the Hell is Adam Smith. Likely a Capitalist.
Millface1
Socialism: you have a billion cows and the government takes 10 million and gives people with less than two cows some milk.
vranky
This needs to be updated to toilet paper terms.

most of these are wrong.

Who'd have thunk using two sentences and cows wouldn't properly convey the intricacies of market systems and cultural differences?

Traditional capitalism is more like you have two cows and have been convinced the person with one cow stolen it from you. The person who...

Told you this has 1,000 cows and still wants more.

Canadian Corporation: You have 2 cows. They are sorry to be cows.
Wattsupdoc
They either freeze or some government board that doesn’t know what a cow is sets the price for milk
Sofisnerdingout
Socialism: the state takes one cow and gives it to your poor neighbour. Then the state gives you milk (oh, I mean healthcare).
DukeDarkwood
Nah, you get your own milk from your own cow. Communism, now, they keep the cows, and distribute just the milk. That, I feel, is the (thin)
DukeDarkwood
distinction. Socialism gives you the cows; Communism keeps the cows and gives you the milk. The difference is who controls the resources.
getguds
The state ensures everyone has a cow, milk and the owner of the donor cow is reimbursed for giving up the cow through milk tax repayment.

You are a Texas Corporation: You have 2 cows, 1 has a virus, you invite 8 more cows over- masks optional.

When 4 more get sick, you open the ranch up for tours

Texas Corporation: You have 2 cows, but you tell everyone you have 10 cows even tho they didnt ask and they're the best cows ever.

Communist: You have 2 cows, government confiscates one for party leadership and destroys the other one for equality. Everybody starves.
drkrovischa
Communism is "gov takes your cows and gives milk to you and your neighbours". I mean if you are interested in how it really works.
DickDastardly404
Its very similar to the capitalism one. You sell one cow for a bull, fucking over the bull dealer who needs the cow more than you, you 1/2
DickDastardly404
Breed the cows in the most efficient way, regardless of their happiness or the quality of the product, you convince the people you are 1.5/2
DickDastardly404
Selling milk and meat to that they are the best quality, you retire on the profit while the people that run your farm straddle the 1.75/2
DickDastardly404
Poverty line, despite having degrees in cow-care and farming/ agriculture, while a whole other class of people starve and go hungry 1.75/2
DickDastardly404
But vote you in to government because you’ve tricked them into thinking you’re one of them even though when you started, you dad gave 1.75/2
magicrhombus
This one should be called Stalinism.
Klingon00
Also imitated and practiced by Mao, Kim Il Sung, Castro, and Maduro to name a few.

Considering all the socalist states operated the same way, no.

drkrovischa
And how were things in your country during the 30s?
stoffo
Stalinism ended with his death, which was 1953, e.g. there was nearly 40 more years of that same silly experiment. Just with less genocides.
drkrovischa
This "silly experiment" is the reason why there are things like "vacation", "paid sick leave", "free healthcare", "free education", etc
stoffo
I’ve experienced health care and education there. Have you?
