Talk:You have two cows

1656:

that volumes pro and con have been written about these things. The definitions are: Socialism-If you have two cows, you give one to your neighbor. Communism-If you have two cows, you give them to the Government and the Government then gives you some milk. Fascism-If you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the Government; then the Government sells you some milk. New Dealism-If you have two cows, you shoot one and milk the other; then you pour the milk down the drain. Naziism-If you have two cows, the Government shoots you and keeps the cows. Capitalism-If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull."

1817:. After a certain period, the people relearn how to do that for themselves, the state ceases to matter, and communisms, a stateless society self-ruled by "the people" living in small groups (i.e., communities/communes/communism), comes into being. There are some theoretical differences in Marxist writers on the transition between socialism and communism, some suggest a "withering away" of the state, and some suggest abolition, but in communism, the state is definitely gone, vanished, kaput, and no more. 1813:), Nazism clearly creates "evil" enemies for the poor to target, and a defining characteristic of Communism is the abolition of the state. Isn't disbanding the state exactly what Marx and others (Engel) said would happen after society learned to distribute wealth and resources properly? Socialism is a period where the state, as an extension of the arm of people and not capital, becomes concerned not with creating and enforcing laws but with 1930:, and reverted my deletion of the material, saying "restored info referencred from a bokk". Well, the book in question is a non-notable book by two non-notable writers, and I maintain that if this content is to be relevant to this article, it would need a secondary source that explains how the comment in that book matters to the primary topic of the political two cows satire. Altenmann has not addressed that in their two reverts. 268: 247: 21: 216: 141: 1014: 278: 1382:. I will improve the page today. Once again, it needs good encyclopedic text, not links to joke repositories, which people may find easily by google.

Fortunately, like I said, there is enough books printed with " 937:

And regardless how you describe it, the book in question explains why these jokes look funny and that they a not necessarily a faithful depiction of the mocked subjects. I.e., it is a nontrivial contribution to the article I added "a lifetime ago" (BTW, what relation this sniggering comment would have to the subject?).- 1868:

I mean, the original version's bias was ridiculously far to the right – as economic systems go, the New Deal system, being solidly capitalist, and less left-leaning even than the social-democratic systems in mid-to-late-20th-century Europe, is best classified as slightly right of centre at least. To

Well, the original Landers version was a right-wing version distributed by a capitalist corporation in a capitalist country, so I'm not sure why you'd be invoking political orientation as a criticism. As for the rest, the history of Capitalism is the history of capitalist's taking things (enclosure,

While the article should not

I first heard these as a political cartoon hanging in my HS history teacher's room. The cartoon illustrated 5 or 6 political ideologies (communism, socialism, fascism, capitalism) with the 2 cows. The jokes had a cold-war slant, with capitalism being the punchline (...buy a bull!). I think one way

The You have two cows article can actually be looked at as a huge example list of you have two cows jokes. It solves the problem of having a list in here yet gives examples of You have two cows jokes. I see no reason for it's removal just because it's from a site you don't find the majority of stuff

1655:

The following definitions of isms, used in a political campaign in Chicago some years ago, are obviously unorthodox, but they are unusually specific, anything but abstract, and of telegraphic brevity. The objection to them is simply that they have something to "sell," something else to condemn, and

936:

The jokes were once moved to the Wikibooks jokebook, where they grew into a colossal collection that took several hours to read. But then the jokebook was deleted because it did not contribute to the ultimate goal of creating a source of free-content textbooks and manuals. This scenario has occured

1824:

I confess, I'm neither a historian nor a political scientist, so certainly others know more about history and politology and the use of the "two cows" meme than I. That said, I offer this as a decent example of exactly what these parable thingies do, and a useful example of how they can be used to

Sure, the parable is a simplification. But so is the Lander's version. Sure the parable takes a political stand, but so does the Lander's version. Lander's basically messages that Capitalism is superior--debatable. This other messages the superiority of communism--also debatable. That is the exact

This article doesn't seem to actually tell us anything about the jokes - like where did they come from. By the nature of the joke, I would assume it comes from some time during the cold war, as it is essentially designed to show how bad other economic systems are, and ends with a clever bit which

Well, mine was just a grumble. But it was not criticism of his political views, but of his ignorance (not just simplification; For starters, under "real" communism, you do not have two cows as a means of production: all means of production are common. What described in discussed the parable is a

I just removed a joke on Knowledge, for the second time. This one was funnier than the first one a few months ago, but it's not appropriate for the article space. It's an in-joke that's unfunny to anyone but Wikipedians, it's a form of "original research" since it's presumably made up by the

527:

Granted the "two cows" jokes have been around a long time, but it seems to me that they are predated by other joke series -- if jokes that were being circulated on paper in the '80s are considered to have antedated the Internet then the same must be said about jokes that were common on Usenet.

998:

are we doing citing Uncyclopedia in this article? What are we doing citing it in any article? Has anyone even LOOKED at the article on uncyclopedia? It adds nothing to the article, and it should be possible to find better, actually citable sources that help the reader understand the topic.

1500:

I did find the enronism avenue of the americas article, but it is just a telling of a joke in an editorial page, not a discussion of the joke. The "Texan Bull" is a re-telling of the same Enron joke in the same Financial Times publication. Again, no discussion of the joke, on a joke.

851:. If you'd prefer, there are quite a few of these that are (potentially) useful in the article they reference. Feel free to move them. Or perhaps just put them in a You have two cows/examples subpage. Please, though, don't just get rid of this list, a lot of it is entertaining. - 1821:

point of these little things though, isn't it? To teach a particular world view. To convey political and cultural meaning. To be completely fair and unbiased, wouldn't Knowledge have to acknowledge these things and provide examples from all "rays" in the political spectrum?

1065:

Originally deleted the giant list of jokes, then added two examples back. I do not believe a list of... forty "two cow" jokes really helps Knowledge be an encyclopedia. I am removing them again, and upon re-addition without discussion, I will contact an admin for mediation.

1446:

These are funny because they are realistic caricatures of various cultures, and the pervasiveness of such jokes stems from the significant cultural differences. They further say that others argue that such jokes present cultural stereotypes and must be viewed with

to end constant edit wars with those wishing to add dozens of variations is to include an image illustrating the jokes. I couldn't find a copy of the one I remember online, but it would be relatively easy to recreate it (thus also avoiding any copyvio issues). --

Now, my personal judgments of the discussed text aside, are his examples suitable for wikipedia ? - No, according to Knowledge policies. Unlike the "capitalist" ones, these examples are not discussed in

Agree. If anything it demonstrates the strengths and power of referentiality of Knowledge. Besides which some Wikipedians have a sense of humour. Nothing wrong with making the public aware of the fact.

412:

Do we need to keep the last "contribution?" If it was posted by an American about Mexicans or Blacks, I would not be happy with the poster. Nothing currently in the article sinks to that level.

1477:

This is sloppy-looking, ungrammatical and also terribly confusing for the reader, to whom it will also come across as POV. Someone familiar with the source material NEEDS to fix this, pronto.

Richard M. Steers and Luciara Nardon in their book about global economy use the "two cows" metaphor to illustrate the concept of cultural differences. They write that jokes of this kind:

The comments above are none of "nitpicking good-faith edits to different articles, repeated personal attacks or posting personal information"; your allegation of harassment is invalid.

The text in question has nothing about extension. It is an explanation of the meaning of these jokes, refernced from a scholarly book. YOu cannot dismiss serious boooks lightly. -

I wonder if it could be nominated again, now that we have an image and the jokes are gone? (Disclosure: I re-wrote most of the intro a while back so it's partly a self-nomination.)
