It's easy to be seen that the following humorous definitions of present-day "isms", now going the Washington rounds, did not originate with New Deal braintrusters.
Socialism-if you own two cows you give one to your neighbor.
Communism-you give both cows to the Government and the Government gives you back some of the milk.
Fascism-you keep the cows but give the milk to the Government, which sells some of it back to you.
New Dealism-you shoot one cow, milk the other, and then pour the milk down the sink. -From the Christian Science Monitor
