Default Wartime politics made easy

Wartime politics made easy!
Extract from The Ninth Post Vol1, No1. Published September 1941 by 9 Suffolk Bn, HG.

Socialism- You have two cows: you give one to your neighbour.
Communism- You have two cows, and give both to the government who give you the milk.
Fascism- You keep both cows and give the government the milk: they sell it back to you.
Nazism- The government shoots you and take both cows.
New Deal- The government shoots one cow, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain.
Capitalism- You sell one cow and buy a bull.

Easy isn't it.
Stephen.

You buy a retarted Bull for next to nothing...... make it look good and say its a fine specimen...... sell its coverage for a huge value........ with good cows...... and F*&^ it up for everybody else. But at least you have their money ..... and can eat steak.

That's a better description Griff, pretty much the style over here.

Actually, line three is more apt for the new Empire in the West.

This was a wartime article, and did not apply capitalism as we know it now in a post-Thatcher world: remember 'greed is good'...so let me sell re-strikes for exorbitant amounts if my conscience lets me, then I can afford steak.

Stephen.
