So what are the differences in the different government types? What is a Socialist? Isn’t a Marxist the same as a Socialist? Is there a difference between Marxism and Communism? Without going into too much pain and aguish, lets see if we can define them.
I heard this little gem on the radio the other day. An excellent comparison. It’s was written for 5th graders. Heh, brings a popular TV show to mind, I wonder how many of us are smart enough to know the difference?
So for this comparison, you have to pretend you own 2 cows. Think you’re ready?
Socialism – You own two cows and your neighbor has none. A government official forces you to give one of your cows to your neighbor.
Communism – You own two cows. A government official takes your two cows and then gives you some of the milk
Marxism – You own two cows. A government official takes your two cows and charges you for the milk.
Anarchism – You own two cows. You shoot the government official and steal someone elses cow.
Capitalism – You own two cows. You sell one cow and buy a bull.
The first five, you loose your freedoms.
The last one, you are responsible for yourself. Noone else is.
I vote we keep Capitalism.
