and even software would have trouble emulating inflation

2019-08-24 19:46:06 UTC  

becaues then it would probably have to emulate deflation as well... hard to keep track of

2019-08-24 19:46:14 UTC  

and why socialism pervades, I suppose

2019-08-24 19:46:29 UTC  

"So this is not really a socialist model. It's more of a billionaire philanthropy model.

It's akin to conservatives constantly saying, "If Warren Buffett likes taxes so much, why doesn't he just donate to the IRS?" 11/"

2019-08-24 19:46:50 UTC  

Yes, because property values would go up and up if you could just create money from thin air.

2019-08-24 19:47:39 UTC  

if you don't tax, then money loses it's value. Govt has to be a part of the money system, or money loses its value. This is why money has existed since ancient times. You. Dumb. Ass.

2019-08-24 19:48:08 UTC  

"And then confusedly, when it's time to pay taxes, the taxes do not go into the community fund, but rather are paid *from* the community fund to a private bank! 12/"

2019-08-24 19:48:22 UTC  

Well, you need a central institution to make sure everyone is virtuous, comrade.

2019-08-24 19:48:31 UTC  

Damn target pulles the game because liberal morons whined

2019-08-24 19:48:40 UTC  

"Similarly, when you pass go, you get a $50 "living wage," which was presumably reduced from the usual $200 to emphasize that "socialism makes everyone poorer" or somesuch. 13/"

2019-08-24 19:49:47 UTC  

Talk about reading into it. They could've picked any number really. (sarcasm incoming) Oh nvm, you cracked the code. You read into the deep lore of socialist monopoly, my dude. They're saying that socialism makes you poorer, without any backing arguments. It's not like this is a game meant to be light humor.

2019-08-24 19:50:26 UTC  

"But then when the minimum wage is increased, this wage doesn't actually increase, but instead, once again for no reason the community fund pays money to a private bank. 14/"

2019-08-24 19:50:36 UTC  

when a board games get socialism better then the socialists <:kek:590371888480387073>

2019-08-24 19:50:51 UTC  

So, you're assuming the one going around competing to buy property across the board is a proletariat?

2019-08-24 19:51:02 UTC  

aren't there millions of other proles?

2019-08-24 19:53:27 UTC  

Where the hell does the money for minimum wage come from? Why would players be collecting minimum wage, if they're the sole donators to the community fund?

2019-08-24 19:53:46 UTC  

all the game needed to do was say "the community fund pays the minimum wagE"

2019-08-24 19:53:56 UTC  

but it left that out, so you didn't read between the lines

2019-08-24 19:54:05 UTC  

so you're out of the loop, basically

2019-08-24 19:54:23 UTC  

like you don't know what colour the sky is unless you look up to remind yourself

2019-08-24 19:54:30 UTC  

that's literally the levels of discordia we're in

2019-08-24 19:55:33 UTC  

"Likewise, because "socialism" allegedly hates people doing well, a card lets you confiscate wealth from someone with some sort of vote. But then, rather than actually redistributing that wealth to those less well off, the wealth is simply destroyed and removed from the game. 15/"

2019-08-24 19:55:45 UTC  

if you give people the ability to redistribute wealth, they will do so democratically

2019-08-24 19:55:48 UTC  

that's democratic socialism

2019-08-24 19:55:53 UTC  

do you even understand your own ideology

2019-08-24 19:56:08 UTC  

Holy diatribe Batman

2019-08-24 19:56:13 UTC
