New Edition of Monopoly Is All About the Horrors of Socialism

Quote

 

Socialism! It’s not just a school of political thought predicated on the equitable division of labor, resources, and benefits. It’s also, for some inexplicable reason, the theme of a new spin-off of the classic board game Monopoly.

 

That “Monopoly: Socialism” (featuring the taglines “what’s yours is ours” and “winning is for capitalists”) exists at all is depressing in and of itself, given the constant right-wing scaremongering about the U.S. turning into Soviet Russia if, god forbid, people were given adequate healthcare. But, it also seems to be profoundly—if predictably—lame as hell.

Good point. The original Capitalist version is about as cruel and dystopian as you can get. 

 

Our family is very competitive and loves a good game of Monopoly. But there's that point where you have all the leverage and your foot on your parent's, sibling's, spouse's or offspring's throat and the moment of victory feels a lot less fun. 

 

Well except for my daughter. That girl is cold-blooded.
