"12.4.2002 Dear Ann: I am an English teacher, and my students are reading George Orwell's '1984.' I am having a difficult time explaining communism, socialism and fascism without giving a time-consuming history lesson. I recall you printed a humorous explanation these concepts using cows. Will you please print it again? I'm sure it will kick-start a lively class discussion. A Teacher in Mississippi It's an 'oldie,' but a 'goldie.' Here it is: -ISMS Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk. Fascism: You have two cows. You give all of the milk to the government, and the government sells it. Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows. Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow. Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one, buy a bull." ^[commentary] #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell #1949_NineteenEightyFour1984 #PoliticsSocialism #PoliticsCommunism #PoliticsFascism #PoliticsAnarchy #PoliticsCapitalism
