the way it works is you think of a culture, philosophy, community, or form of government and fit it into the "you have two cows" analogy.

I'll use a few examples.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. If your cows aren't good enough, you're going to be poor

COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You give all of your milk to the government who gives it back to everyone evenly.

SOCRATES: What makes you think you have two cows?

Get it?

Eh, I think that's more on the side of Nazism...
Now that I think about it, fascism sounds more like:
The cow WILL sacrifice its individualism and power to the dictator, else the army will slaughter the cow.
