Your neighbour, however, hasn't shown he has any knowledge on the care of livestock. Actually since he's communist he probably has no concept of production in general. All wealth was stolen from the poor after all.

So, after your neighbour slaughters that cow rather than eating milk and cheese, the government comes back and butchers your cow, taking half the meat to your neighbour.

Then the meat runs out, and there are no more cows.

Then you both starve.

From my cold dead hands, friends.
