can't handle a dumb game

yeah basically

and it is really low-brow shit

idk what people expected when a corporation made a game about socialism

the "minimum wage" is paying a community fund to a private bank, which is the perfect thing to set off socialists

doesn't the game even advertize itself as being a satire?

no idea

Yeah on the box

ye

"adult parody board game"

the amazon page calls it an "adult edition", but really its not much more mature than college marxists

Cards against humanity is a degenerate game, change my mind

I'm guessing that dude who bought the socialist monopoly and is whining about how bad it is thinks the original game wasn't a full on mockery of Capitalism...

not so far, just posting photos of various cards and rules and wingeing

Virtue signaling to fellow soy-people

Amd cat parasites

I wonder if any socialists bought that game thinking "ahh yes, now I can convince my friends of the power of communism through board games"

And we can use the funds to fuel our cause!

you gotta love people who don't know jack shit... but hey he's got a link to harvard... gotta give him credit for... I don't know something.

Being an elite?

he goes into how apparently the idea for "monopoly" was originally a georgan feminist comedians idea called "landlord's game", people can feel free to confirm or debunk this on their own time

```Of course the great irony here is that that the game we now know as "Monopoly" originally started out as "The Landlord's Game," invented by Georgist feminist comedian Lizzie Magie to satirize capitalist rent-seeking... 17/

But then the game was stolen by a male capitalist, made even more brutally and unironically captitalist, and sold to Parker Brothers, who later abused the legal system to get around copyright laws in a classic case of...capitalist rent-seeking. 18/```

Thats how ideas were capitalized 100 years ago

Look at the history of kelloggs and post

Cereals

It literally was a gangsters world

all I know is that the guy posting all of this on twitter needs to chill and get a hobby

He should hang out with us

links to "monopoly for millenials", which I didn't even know was a thing, and a new york post article: https://nypost.com/2018/11/14/hasbros-new-monopoly-for-millennials-game-is-an-insulting-experience/

Kek.

They have a surprising variety of monopoly iterations

at a certain point I have to wonder if Monopoly is just being the ultimate shitposter with all of its "fuck you money"

"REE! Look at this thing we don't like! LOOK AT IT!"

board games are modular as fuck

I still ahve my NFL monopoly when I used to like football

Chess is the same way. You can have pieces that represent all sorts of two-sided conflicts.

"Go directly to hell"

Produce a "Fascists vs. Commies" chess set, and you'll make a mint.

Commies are fascists
