Or the teachers unions

It's much better than a school

yeah 40+ year old childless teachers can bog off

so a private school

I hate the socialist swine and traitor ocasia. That traitor defend literal invaders https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-claims-us-running-concentration-camps-on-southern-border/

@Nordhand The parents are the teachers.

Thats what I mean by crowdsourced

but ironically I don't want to raise other people's kids

That's just part and parcel of living in a small community

Liberals are triggered by socialist monopoly and yelling "not real socialism"! <:LUL:585653939970637825> <:Teddy_destroyer_of_monopolies:588726102667821056> <:shap:497652686603288576>

is there an evil woodrow wilson emote

"From the tagline "Winning is for capitalists" we can see right away that this game is not going to be friendly to whatever it deems "socialism" to be.

Because as we all know "socialists" never play sports or participate in any sort of competitive activity, like board games. 2/"

yes that's exactly what they meant, this guy's a mind reader

"Interestingly, the design of the game features the red socialist rose... do ordinary people who presumably hate "socialism" really know what this symbol even is? 3/"

Oh boi he's not being sarcastic

hey, do you even know the truth about Korra in legend of korra, she's a high level wind bender, don't you know, but she's not so great at earth bending, her power level is only 667 as opposed to 6969 which is what is required, okay?

Some retard on 3arrows said he was gonna buy this

im not done heckling

Sowwy

"The player tokens include a typewriter, an old-timey phone, a pocket watch, a phonograph, and a CRT television set, presumably because "socialism" is so incredibly outdated? 4/"

well yeah, i mean the ideology is 200 years old

all it has to go on is pure dialectics, which was disproven by Freud about 100 years ago

and disproven, in a sense, by the greeks over 2000 years ago

"Spaces on the board include a snarkily named hospital and school, because apparently schools are supposed to produce losers and hospitals are only supposed to help some of the people. 5/"

Yes, because if everyone passes school, then it invites corruption and graft. The amount of enforcement needed to ensure that everyone passes really incentivizes a lowering of standards, because there's no way you could pass everyone with usual curricula term limits.

and that's just the tip of the iceberg for top down planning of schools

if you funnel in more money, it's only going to get siphoned away by the corrupt, because who's going to watch where all of it goes? more money just means more to watch, so you gotta hire more watchers, and then how do you keep them all accountable? It's a farce.

I don't need to go into healthcare. Attempts to extrapolate healthcare to all other systems is something socialists do a lot of.

also, healthcare is more nuanced than 'should govt pay for it all?' or 'privatize everything ever'

but that hurts partisan feelings, so

"There are also tons of references to health food and veganism, despite the lack of any clear connection to socialism, apparently because what they share in common is that they are odious things that are fun to mock. 6/"

Damn liberals are triggered and review bombing the game on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Monopoly-Socialism-Board-Parody/dp/B07VPRNZJB/

<:Commie_ball:466404411535785995>

Fucking hell the games not available on target anymore

It's no coincidence, those go together because partisan behavior of the population puts them together. Health food and veganism are lefty and so is socialism! If they weren't, they'd make a minimal effort to divorce themselves from one another, but instead, they vote for the same party. The only way to defeat partisanship is internally.

Don't complain about your perceived enemy mocking you for being retarded, just saying.

"It's also crucial to mock environmentalism because, haha, as we all know environmentalism is stupid and hilarious. 7/"

It is. It actively harms the environment more by preventing sensible innovation from going forward, such as nuclear power.

"It goes without saying that this game is entirely uninterested in trying to understand what socialism actually is and how it might function. 8/"

Oh, because if you don't agree with socialism, then you clearly don't fully understand it. *tips fedora*

For example, there is a community fund, and if a player doesn't have enough money to pay for something, the community fund automatically pays the difference. Which seems kinda socialist at first glance. 9/
But the community fund is gleefully and deliberately designed to be constantly running out of money. At this point, the only way to fill it back up and keep the game going is for players to donate money to it voluntarily. 10/

Because that's actually how money works. You put money in, and then you take it out. Where does money come from? Do you really think a board game can fully emulate the effects of inflation from expanding money supply when the money is simply printed? They'd have to abandon physical money, the marker of all versions of monopoly (that I'm aware of), and move to pen and paper or digital software, which would defeat the playability of the game. Personally, I think board games that necessitate software defeat the spirit of board games.
