Kiwiblog And Cows

Kiwiblog has this rather entertaining post using cows to explain economic models:

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows.You give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows, The State takes both and sells you some milk..

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away…

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

Noting that capitalism is missing, I think the following should be included in the interests of fairness:

CAPITALISM: You own pretty much all of the cows. In an effort to avoid tax, one of them is taken to Wellington to shit all over the steps of Parliament.
