BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need.

The constitutional republic: You do whatever the fuck you want with your cows and when the thief man or the law man come to take or regulate your cows, you send their asses strait to a grave. Other cow owners will come to aid you in sending said thief man or law man to a grave. You also help other cow owners when they are confronted by similar situation.

The cow owners outnumber the thief and lord over the law man resulting in as much milk as they can drink. The undertaker is kept plump and happy as the tree of liberty is BEST watered by the blood of the never ending line of tyrants that wish to cut down the tree so that they might build a planned parenthood.
