Political Systems

I was variously interrupted at EVERYTHING so one mildly sarcastic post meant to be somewhat humorous…my definition of political systems and their virtues.
Marxism: the definition of social value by popularity (from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, if I recall the sexism correctly).
Capitalism: you’re valuable if you’re rich. If not, you better be useful or you’re worthless.
Communism: value “TBD”. [To Be Determined.]
Socialism: everyone is equal but it requires enormous, grinding mechanisms…involving some who are obviously much more valuable than others. Maybe the valuable ones can make sense of it.
Democracy: sidestep the whole issue by exclaiming about what a perfect system it is.
Monarchy: buy lots of the emperor’s new clothes to go with the bottlecap spectacles.
Communalism: get high and think about it.
Tea Party: get drunk and think about it.
US Republicans: have a dinner, charge $100 a plate & wonder why no one’s buying when the dinner is hot dog pizza. They still can’t convince the 49% that it’s steak–or that they should vote for the idiots who sneered at them. Someone lost their party manifesto, so they replaced it with “It’s Obama’s fault!”
US Democrats–they’re charging $100 a plate for dinner, they’re positive it’s steak…but they forgot where the party was.
Christians–Sunday excuses all the other days, go away.
Buddhists: Ummmmm….
***Some may object to classification of religion as a political system.
Ummmmm….
