A couple more corrections

Communism
You have two cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

Fascism
You have two cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

Communism
You have two cows. The government declares you a petty bourgeois, collectivises your cows and sends you to the gulag where you starve to death. The cows output is measured against the parameters of the 'five year plan', found wanting and they are shot as reactionary hooligans.

Fascism
You have two cows. The state says you are too small to nationalize so they leave you alone. You join the party and get a fat contract to produce milk.The state then gives you more cows that they took away from 'undesirables'.
