This is actually it:

Liberal: Buys a six-pack, shares it with his poor friends. Demands that
his 
wealthier friends setup a "Beer Relief Fund", eventually funding it with
a 
Tax on beer, coincidently pricing beer out of the range of the poor
anyway.

Conservative: Buys 12 pack, allows friends ONE beer each, then	they
must pay 
for their own. Keeps gun around to ward off beer theives. Sells rest of
beer, 
making enough money to buy his own brewery.

Stalinist: "Liberates" beer from capitalist pigs, declares it the
property of 
the people. Begins killing those who make noise about getting some of
it.

Communist: Enters into a beer making cooperative, with a five year plan.
No 
beer is made but the managers seem to be living better than anyone else.

Socialist: Nationalizes brewery, to make sure everyone has enough.
Quality 
and quantity of beer produced take severe drops, forcing a beer
rationing 
program, and a thriving black market in foreign beer.

Libertarian: Doesn't drink beer, but will argue over the ownership and 
property rights of the beer anyway.
