Political Philosophy, Cow style…

Ok so I don’t think any of the “jokes” used to describe political philosophies are adequate. So I decided to come up with my own, some may be similar to ones you’ve seen before.

republicanism: You have two cows, you vote someone into office that will tax you and force you to sell one cow.

democracy: You have two cows, you vote to raise your own taxes that force you to sell one of the cows.

Lockeanism: The government gives you two cows, they then become your property.

Communism: You have two cows, out of the common good you give both for the use of the society.

Marxism: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives the milk away.

Socialism: You have two cows, the government takes one and sells it.

Fascism: You have two cows, the government takes both and shoots one while selling you the other.

Nazism: You have two cows, the government shoots you and takes the cows.

Libertarianism: You have two cows, you tell the government to fuck off and then sell one of the cows and buy some weed.

Monarchy: The government gives you two cows but you don’t own them.

Theocracy: The government orders you to sacrifice one of the cows to the gods.

Anarchy: Your neighbor shoots you and takes both the cows.
