Winning is for capitalists. 💰💰💰 At least that's the message behind this parody of Monopoly. But in a Twitter thread that spread widely, a historian said the game gets socialism wrong.
In Monopoly Socialism, an official version of the game manufactured by the toy company Hasbro, players move around the board contributing to community projects"unless they can steal projects to get ahead," according to the product's description. When players pass go, they get a $50"living wage" as opposed to the usual $200, and the tokens are all dated artifacts like a typewriter, a phonograph, a pocket watch, an old-fashioned telephone and an old-style TV set.
— Nick Kapur August 21, 2019 Kapur told CNN he bought the game at a Target in Philadelphia on Wednesday. At first, he thought the game was"pro-socialism," and found it strange that Hasbro would make a game that seemed to take a political stance. When he looked at it more closely, Kapur said the game seemed"anti-socialist," which he said felt"equally odd." Kapur said he doesn't describe himself as a socialist, though he said his politics are left of center.
