Not just a pretty face history lesson: Communism, Socialism, Fascism

A great explanation via Ann Landers, without a full blown history lesson:

Socialism: You have two cows.  Give one to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows.  Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some of the milk.

Fascism: You have two cows.  You give all 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 of the cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.

Capitalism: You have two cows.  Sell one cow and buy a bull.

Surrealism: You have two cows.  The government makes you take harmonica lessons.
