The cows are a (bad) metaphor for the means of production, obviously. The metaphor sneakily puts you in the shoes of a capitalist and, whoa, it turns out capitalism is good when you are one of the few it benefits.

I can't believe I was once taught this bullshit in school.

    Communism: You kill your two hundred cows to prevent the government from distributing the milk. This causes a famine, but history will blame it on them, not you.
