Socialism, is when you have two cows, and you are made to share the milk with everyone else who doesn’t have a cow.
Communism, is when you have two cows, the government takes them, and gives you the milk.
Fascism, is where you have two cows, the government takes your cows, and sells you the milk.
Nazism, is when the government takes your cows and shoots you.
Capitalism, is where you have two cows, sell one, buy a bull, and make more cows.

Biased, bluepilled, and borderline retarded. Fixed :
Socialism : you have two cows, the government takes 60%+ of your milk and gives it to people without a cow
Communism : you have two cows, you have to work to milk them, but you don't have any say in how the milk is distributed (it almost entirely goes to other people)
Fascism : you have two cows, you get to milk them, you get to do whatever you like with the milk, provided you pay a relatively high rate of tax (lets say 25%, but it really varies because fascism isn't some kind of simplistic box like the rest). If you overstep your bounds and challenge the safety of the nation, the government kills you and reallocates your cows to loyal citizens
Nazism : you have two cows, you get to milk them, you do whatever you like with the milk, provided you pay a high rate of tax (lets say 40%). You use [insert nice huwhite nationality here] cows, because they're the best (and we'll shoot you if you say otherwise) (but to be fair, they are amongst the best cows in the world), and if you overstep your bounds and challenge the safety and security of the nation or shelter the long nose cows (which are grade A shits who keep trying to collapse your nation), then they kill you and reallocate your cows
^^^everything above this line has some kind of safety net from unforeseen disasters, to some degree, generally decreasing from top to bottom
Capitalism : You have two cows, and your success is partially determined by your ability to make the most of the situation, but you still pay taxes (about 20%), which still go to people without cows, and you have little to no safety net (in hardcore capitalism) if a tornado comes through and kills your cows. Some people who started with lots of money generally get to play a different game where their wealth just generates more wealth with minimal effort, and they can simply buy your milk for a comparative pittance, whilst being free to gut the nation and its people in favour of buying milk en masse from a foreign country with less strict rules.
The presumption that more capitalism = more better is fucking retarded - anyone with a brain understands the importance of balance between two extremes.
The presumption that fascism = unequivocally evil, or bad for citizens is just fucking weird. Under that kind of extreme metric fascism (including nazism) = governemnt takes your cows and shoots you, and capitalism = government takes your cows, exports them overseas, and tells you its your fault as you starve to death. You confuse small government, low regulations with capitalism. They're not the same thing. You mean 'libertarianism', not capitalism, and even then its more debatable. An-cap is not a divinely inspired philosophy, its a mass famine waiting to happen.
Do you really think a true explanation of nazism (which, lets remember, managed to take a country from zimbabwe tier economics to taking on most of the fucking planet in WW2 in the space of 5 years), consists of 'government takes your cows and shoots you'?
Why do so many retards post here?

Your post, and therefore you, are idiotic. Congratulations, you are retarded.

Go ahead and explain it better then.
Or do you somehow think "govrtnment kills you and takes 100% of your stuff" is literally how nazism works?
Use your words, or demonstate your ignorance

It's just basic explanation to 5 year olds, in it's most simplistic form. Please understand.

Honestly, what youre saying is 'please understand, i just want to brainwash a 5 year old according to my own biases'.
Lots of respect for kids you have there. Really showing your 'freethinker' stripes. Just as bad as the libtards who want to brainwash kids on faggotry and communism

How would you explain the 5 concepts to a 5 year old then?
14530190? ago
Basically how I described it. I don't think that concept with some slight reworking would be beyond the comprehension of a 5 year old (and the OP's was simply 110% incorrect). The government takes a fair bit of your products, but it and the citizens are forced (under threat of authoritarian violence) to act in the service of the nation and the nations people. This is the key difference between socialistic fascism (which is the more useful concept to describe, nazism is a type of fascism erring towards the socialist side, basically no different at a pure economic level) and socialism - authoritarianism, and nationalism. Communism is like socialism dialed up to 11, but without the nationalism.
That can surely be understood by a 5 year old (and is also short, although idk people assume you'd have to be able to explain the concept in 2 sentences or less, that just invites error), and is massively, massively more correct than 'shoots you, takes your cow'.
Do you think, given some gentle prodding, a 5 year old could explain why 'government shoots you, takes your cow' is literally (literally) nonsensical as an economic policy, and therefore whoever trying to say that's how it works is an idiot, and lying? I do.
