Two Cows:
Needful definitions:
Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbors.
Communism: You have two cows. The government takes both and makes you stand in line for milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. You get to keep the cows, but the government takes the milk and sells it back to you.
Nazism: You have two cows. The government takes both and sends you to a "labor" camp.
Libertarianism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Voting:
Needful definition:
Democracy: Where two wolves and a sheep vote on what's for dinner.

Just Desserts:
A man died and went to Hell. When he got there he saw one sign that said "Capitalist Hell" and another that said "Socialist Hell."
In front of the Socialist Hell was an incredibly long line, while there was no one in front of the Capitalist Hell.
So the man asked the guard, "What do they do to you in Socialist Hell?"
"They boil you in oil, whip you and then put you on the rack," the guard replied.
And what do they do to you in Capitalist Hell?"
"The same exact thing," the guard answered.
"Then why is everybody in line for Socialist Hell?"
"Because in Socialist Hell, they're always out of oil, whips and racks."
