Here is a simple way to explain political economic systems to people.

Let suppose we have a family that has 2 cows

In socialism, the family keeps the cows, but the govenment takes most of the milk and distributes it to others.

In communism, the government confiscates the cows and gives you a monthly allowance of the milk they produce.

In Facsim, one the cows are killed to set an example, the children are held hostage and the farmer works under the supervision of a government agent.

In capitalism, the farmer sells one one cows, and buys a Bull...
