Most students in the 11th or 12th grade have read Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm or Huxley's Brave New World. These books, more than 50 years old, predicted what the world would look like in the authors' futures and our "now." In 2002 someone wrote to Ann Landers and asked her to explain all the "isms."
Here they are:
Starting on the left symbols for Socialism, Communism and Fascism
Socialism - You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor.
Communism - You have two cows. Give both cows to the government, and they may give you some milk.
Fascism - You have two cows. You give the milk to the government, and the government sells it.
Nazism - You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes the cows.
Anarchism - You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
Capitalism - You have two cows. Sell one and buy a bull.
You hear a lot of politicians and especially college students claim that the United States government is Socialistic, or Fascistic, etc. You can safely bet your next paycheck that you now know more about government than all the others combined.
Keep this in mind as you prepare to vote.
