"Monopoly - the Socialism edition" Topic

…Hasbro, the maker of the beloved family game Monopoly, released a special edition of the game called Monopoly Socialism. The satirical twist on the decades-old game replaces Monopoly's traditional player tokens with a phonograph, a pocket watch and an old fashioned rotary phone. And instead of players collecting $200 USD when they pass "Go," the socialism-themed edition instructs players that will receive a $50 USD "living wage"…

The goal of to turn all properties into Baltic Ave?

Yea, until they pull that "living wage" rug right out from you, like they did to those in Cuba a few years back.

Some had their $30 USD a month pay cut by 40% to $18 USD a month. They were the "lucky" ones.

The unlucky ones were thrown off the payroll completely, and told to start up capitalist businesses in a communist nation, with no money to bankroll them. I'm sure that didn't work out very well for most people, since few if any there have any money to spare.

A 100% pay cut is difficult to survive. Perhaps that was their real point.

One if Yakov Smirnov's bits on Commununism in the Soviet Union is a corker.

"In Soviet system, the government pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work."

Any pictures of the player tokens?

If you draw a Green New Deal card, your family receives a horse. You may then use it for transportation, or food… ;-)

Saw it advertised in a flyer from Target.
