These are about 10 years old, but I think somebody ought to get a laugh out of it.

Political systems too complicated for you? Let's show you how they work using the simple example of a farmer and 2 cows.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Socialism:
You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbor.

<LI>Communism:
You have 2 cows. The government takes both of them and gives you some of the milk.

<LI>Fascism:
You have 2 cows. The government takes both of them and sells you the milk.

<LI>Nazism
You have 2 cows. The government takes both of them and shoots you.

<LI>Capitalism
You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

<LI>Bureaucracy:
You have two cows. The government takes both of them, shoots one, milks the other, and pours the milk down the drain.
