Trying to understand the ever-changing concepts in our society can definitely give one a headache. Economics and the many variations of it is one of those concepts. Now, we are not trying to teach you about market economy using cryptic metaphors, similes, and analogies, because there's a much more straightforward way to get the point across - cow cartoons.

The internet created an excellent medium for many memes, funny comics and infographics, and since it is much easier to understand the information conveyed through that, the world wide web can be harnessed not only for time-wasting purposes but its intentional use - sharing knowledge. The following list from Newstalk uses funny cartoons with cows to highlight the differences between various political and corporatism systems. Yes, the cow joke comparisons are simplistic, but each one contains some grain of truth.

There are so many of these corporation businesses and economy examples depicted below with cow puns, that you will surely find something that you didn't know before.

Filipino Corporation: A beautiful girl shows you some milk, but you can’t taste it until marriage. You marry the cow and move to America together. She takes care of your kids well. She sends milk money to help her 30 cousins in The Philippines.

Boston Corporation - You have 2 cows. One is drunk and the other is mooing at a cow from New York. You forgot to call your mother like you promised so she shows up at the bar. MA takes the sober cow as income tax. The IRS sends you a pig as your refund, and sends you a bill for delivery. The state sends you a bill for 3 horses, but asks you to write the check to a construction company.

Those who just want to live off others because they’re lazy and don’t want to work will have to take calcium pills. Support Donald Trump, and Make America Moo Again. #2020 #MAGA

    Traditional Capitalism: The Bourgeoisie own all cows which are raised on dairy farms, built by slave labor on land stolen from native people, and the state subsidizes milk production to regulate the price of milk. Some people can afford an adequate amount of milk, while others barely get by, and are forced to rely on assistance which is never enough to quench their thirst.

    Greece - You have one old cow producing little milk everyone knows this, German banks loan you a cow to buy a French tractor you don't need. Banks cant collect milk so German government loans you another cow to save German bank from its bad loan. In exchange they require you feed your old cow less. Your old cow produces less milk. Germany send you another cow to pay to themselves and require you to sell your barn and feed your cow less. Your cow produces less milk. Germany gives you another cow to pay themselves and requires you to give you feed your cow less. Your old cow produces less milk. They call you lazy and take your farm. Repeat until the old cow dies!

    Very Euro/American centric description. I know many of you are not comfortable with the cultures where dogs are eaten. Rise up! the world doesn't start from US and ends in Europe. Indian are starving (Not because they don't eat their cow) because it is only 6 decades back the Indian cows were liberated from who were taking their blood out to inject it in their cows. Give it some time. And don't forget that Euro/Americans eat all their cows and get into GREAT DEPRESSION, Then declare wars and pressurize with other tactics to come out. LOL!!

    What a lot of people don't understand is that the poor people of India milk the cows and collect the cow manure which is dried and burned for warmth. If you kill and eat the cows there goes free milk for the poor and fuel for the fire place.

    True Indian economy- you have two cows, you milk them but sell their urine. you kill them, eat them and use their skin to manufacture leather to export, but you punish muslims for killing your cows. state gives you 2 more milking cows as a reward to beat and kill muslims.

    And there is no milk, no grass, no meat, no barn, no fields, no rental property for grazing, no caretakers, no vets, no bricks and mortar, no farm. Wall street has convinced the government that high risk farming like this should get tax credits, tax breaks, and government subsidy. The VC company hires all the partners as consultants to distribute the subsidies, and sells the credits to Monsanto or energy companies for big bucks.

    No, it's more like this... Bureaucracy: You have two cows. You can't decide what to do with them, so you put it to a vote. Nothing happens.

    Actually, that is what socialism is. You are thinking of Communism. Socialism is when SOCIETY responsibly decides to help each other. Communism, is basically a dictatorship trying to look like they act in the best interest of Society. Socialism is often confused with aspects of Communism. People just get pissed off when the vote doesn't go their way, then calls in 'we were forced!'. Well boohoo. That's how voting is, some people win, some people don't. Unions, paid leaved, minimum wage, overtime, maternity leave, etc, these things are socialist ideas.

    No. The only agreed upon definition for Socialism is that the state owns the means of production. Communism is a political system that uses socialism as its economic system. All totalitarian regimes are socialistic. They would never let the average person control production.

    In socialism "you" don't have 2 cows, and if you did the state would forcibly take them from you. They'd be the property of the state, which would end up taking most of the milk for themselves.

    what you meant to say is "one of your cows is taken from you and given to your neighbor who spends his days whining about what he doesn't have". Your neighbor is envious of your good fortune as he watches you drive past his government subsidized house which you also pay for, on your way to work every morning so you can buy him another cow.

You're the farmer working the real job, so you feel you're entitled to handle, manage, or flat out own all the milk they produce. The government sources all of its contracts off of you.
