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.

A Greek Corporation
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You are born with no cows and you don't have the money to buy one. You have to work the rest of your life in order to buy milk. THE END
An Indian Corporation
An Australian Corporation
A French Corporation
Or because you don't want to milk them on Saturdays, Sundays, and all the public holidays
A Chinese Corporation
A British Corporation
An Irish Corporation
A Swiss Corporation
Communism
No, it should be like that: "The State takes both, and they disappear without trace. There is no milk either"
No it should be: You horde cows in your barn instead of selling them to the cities to artifically raise grain prices so the state appropriates your stash to relieve urban starvation provoking you to smash all of your remaining milk.

Transition economies: "The State had 2 cows and gives you some milk. Politicians sell's them to a foreign corporation. You eat grass.
you have two cows. state owns both. state gives you milk you needed (not more not less) in return you take care of the cows. the rest of milk is pooled with many others to go to some one in need. state mates your cows with bull taken care by someone else who too will be paid in terms of milk. so when your cow #1 and 2 dies you will have some other cow or bull to take care of. when you retire state takes care of you with excess produced by younger generation. viva communism
Thats all well and good except the state doesnt exist and the entire process is facilitated by the community.

Communism - You have 2 cows, so do all of your neighbors. 1 year later you all have 3 cows. The next year you all have 5. Everyone becomes lactose intolerant from too much dairy. Your family kills one cow to eat during the winter and welcomes the 9th in the spring. The morning she’s born you wake up and realize that a communist utopia only exists on paper
The state takes the cows, gives everyone some milk and America kills them
Communism: You buy 2 cows from the evil capitalists on the black market because your wife is pregnant and the state has taken all the milk. You work hard and produce enough milk for your wife and can even sell a bit to your grateful neighbors. The state finds out and sends jack-booted thugs to arrest you. They take your cows and haul you off to prison for "re-education". Your wife and neighbors go back to being hungry while watching the premier drive by in his fancy car.
Russian corporation: Anya has cow's brains, that's why she has such opinion.

You are so wrong, the world has never seen real communism. Communism is a political movement that promotes a society without social classes, were all means of production are property of the common wealth, the idea pictured here is what the US wants you to believe, and they have done a good job brainwashing you. this should say you Work with two cows, they kill one, everybody gets some milk and meat.
Unfortunately communism has had a horrible track record when taken into the "real world"

Communism You have two cows. You meet up with other people that have two cows. You make a herd. When you need milk you go out and get it, and nobody cares which cow you get it from because they are all shared and nobody really own the cows anyway.

An Indonesian corporation: You have two cows. The goverment charges you taxation fees for milking them, manufacturing carton package, and selling the milk. A member of the Senate visits your ranch and offers you a "tax-free" option for allegedly smaller amount of money.
A Colombian Corporation: You have 2 cows One of your cows is killed and the meat is stolen. The State gives Horses, Chickens, Sheep, Land, and cogressional seats to the people who killed your cow.
A Lebanese corporation: You have two very beautiful cows. Everyone visits you to admire them. Suddenly, there is split in the corporation. Both sides want the two cows for themeselves. They fight for a while and the two cows die in the crossfire. They decide to stop and to rebuild the corporation. You borrow two cows from the bank but don't really know how to milk them. Moreover all employees hate each other.
How about the American Progressive Liberal economy philosophy. You have 2 cows, you take them from the ever dwindling working US citizen for their taxes and then give that person a fraction of their own milk back and distribute the rest to others who contribute less or nothing at all.
More like there's ample grazing land and thousands of cows that belong to 6 people. And now you're on the war path because you heard one of your neighbors got free milk.

I think the take on socialism is incorrect because the cow is not given freely to one's neighbor, but taken by the state to pay your neighbor to stay home and not work.

If I recall correctly, the original 4 examples were for capitalism, communism, socialism, and fascism. Now, did I miss something, or has the original capitalism explanation been ... cancelled? It went something like this: "You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You then start a dairy/cattle ranch."
You have no cows... the chaff and cows are imported and you think you have the best cows... which country?
