Political Philosophies Explained in simple "two cow" terms
Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. 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 and 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 support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

Dear Sir,

But you forget our way (Arab method).

The government takes them both and let the citizen dream and pretend that he drinks milk.

The islamic way: You keep the cows, milk them, fill your needs, and contribute your leftovers to the needy.

They stole the cows and then let us buy the milk.
