BANKER (VENTURE) CAPITALISM

...The public then buys your bull.

It's funny because it's true. Or maybe it's not actually funny, just ludicrous. True none the less.

So true

With the exception

"AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead."

This is capitalism as we have it now. Trying to compete while paying paying and paying other's debts and to be able to finance our politicioans and company owner's palaces, german corporations and government fire their workers, and the rest left has to work 48 hours a day, while 50 percent have no job anymore.
No i do not mean this "in a funny way".

Add banker capitalism to the mix and it fits. For Germany we can also add a nice dose of bureaucratism.

Don't forget the "financial experts" who tell you their expert opinion - but never tell you why all their predictions from the past have been less true than tarot or asking an octopus.
The same "professionals" who never saw the current financial "crisis" coming, tell us now their sollutions and our fine politicians listen to their advise...

Imo, What we (the West) have now is a mix of Banker & Traditional and Socialism.

Socialism of some sort is pretty much unvoidable when you endlessly expand Government. The U.S goverment expands like its McDonalds on steroids. But unlike McDonalds, it funds its over expansion with over borrowing.
Bank bail outs are effectively socialsim too, or maybe they are just corruption, whatever they are, they're NOT capitalism what so ever!
Perhaps its 'Socialism to Save Capitalism' as Ron Paul so nicley put it a while back.
The Constitution preaches small government, but as we all know the 'Republicrats' have about as much regard for the Consititution as Mikhail Gorbachev.

As for the Banks....

Its ironic that Anarchists hate Banks so much when Banks are probably the most successful Anarchists in the world. They can pretty much do what the hell they please knowing that nobody is going to stop them. The Debt Crisis is pretty much a result of Bankers trashing their own system.
The only reason bankers are not convicted criminals, is because they operate outside of the law.

This one is missing:

A FINNISH COMPANY
You have two cows.
You are "responsible" and "solidar" so you give one to Greece and one to Spain... or maybe Italy...

You'd better get a third one to give to Spain

Although Im tempted, I will let Skybird do the "GERMAN COMPANY"

Which is too bad because it was a funny thread up to that point. If you can't laugh at yourself you have no business laughing at anybody else.

But but but it is so much easier to laugh at others

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

Then complains they don't have enough milk.

A Korean Corperation:

You have 2 cows.
You eat one and make the other one produce the milk of three.

A North Korean people's friendship collective:
What's a cow?

Obamunism:
You have 2 cows.
One cow is brown, the other is black and white.
A race war begins on the farm. W is blamed.
