This has been around a while but it's still good. There are 21 models on the list, but the first six are particularly noteworthy. As follows:
SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

But we can't leave without contributing one of our own:
OBAMANISM:
You have two cows which makes you a one percenter.
You sell one to pay your "fair share" of taxes.
You sell the other to pay methane pollution fines.
You can't get a job.
You collect unemployment insurance and food stamps.
