A socialist parody version of the classic board game Monopoly has gone on sale, amusing and outraging those on both sides of the political spectrum.

With the tagline 'winning is for capitalists', the scathing game offers players the chance to contribute to community projects instead of buying properties.

Instead of the classic tokens such as an iron, a dog and a boot, the socialist version is played with a typewriter, an old-fashioned phone, a pocket watch, a phonograph, and a CRT Television.

Go to the gulag, go directly to the gulag, do not pass Go, do not collect your food ration stamps.

“...the socialist version is played with a typewriter, an old-fashioned phone, a pocket watch, a phonograph, and a CRT Television.”

That’s puzzling. Shouldn’t the tokens be a Hammer, a Sickle, an Iron Cross, a clenched fist, etc.?

Best Monopoly Parody, ever

(Ummm wasn’t Monopoly suppose to be a Parody of Capitalism that everyone just ended up loving?)

In Socialism, “Winning is for members of the Politburo”

Capitalism - The Rich become Powerful
Socialism - The Powerful become Rich

A miniature copy of ‘Rules for Radicals’? *SMIRK*

The greatest fallacy promoted by both sides about Capitalism is that its merely about cutthroat competition.

Its the exact opposite. Capitalism is about cooperation. People cooperating of their own free will, to achieve agreements and exchanges that benefit everyone involved.

The tank museum in England has or had their own version of Monopoly.

The problem is, more and more those "agreements" are with the government. And when that happens, you get Fascism.

You and I think alike, my FRiend!

I really can't believe Hasbro actually authorized this game

Monopoly should be more realistic.

For example, why wasn’t there a “Chance Card” that said, “Pay 10% to ‘Don Vito’ for ‘Protection’”?

Every five minutes the players start over with the same amount of cash and property—don’t want there to be any inequality you know!
