In June of 2011, it seems, I pulled a version of the "Two Cows" off the 'Net. The first couple are pretty close to what Ms. Landers offered, but then...
I've also got a hard-copy version somewhere around my place; it was a touch more right-wing-propagandist than my usual taste, but still had some humorous variations that the above doesn't include. If I find it again within the next two days, I'll probably post it here.
Quote:You Have 2 Cows
Socialism - you give one to a neighbor
Communism - the State takes both and gives you some milk
Fascism - the State takes both and sells you some milk
Nazism - the State takes both and shoots you
Capitalism - you sell one and buy a bull; your herd multiplies and the economy grows; you sell them and retire on the income
French Capitalism - you go on strike, organize a riot and block the roads because you want 3 cows
Japanese Capitalism - you re-design them to 1/10th normal size with 20 times the milk output, you then create a clever cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it
German Capitalism - you re-engineer them to live 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves
Italian Capitalism - you don't know where they are; you decide to have lunch
British Capitalism - they are crazy; you try to sell them to Europe
New Zealand Capitalism - the one on the left is looking pretty sexy
Australian Capitalism - business is good; you close the office to go have some beers
Canadian Capitalism - the bank takes both, shoots one, throws away the milk; you shoot yourself
Anarchism - the cows decide you have no right to do anything with their milk and leave to form their own society
Talibanism - they must wear burkas and are shot for being Hindu religious symbols
