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.

and a square “illegal alien stole your stuff” that zeros out your cash.
If you had the Don Vito card that could protect you. ;-)
“and there’s always an emergency that requires dipping into the Community Fund”
You bet your bippy there is, because that is how the Party insiders get rich.
“Contribute all 10 of your chips to win the game...”
So that would take me about one second. I win.
Who wins? Who ever runs out of other people’s money first?-)
Ah, under socialism we all get the chance to “contribute to community programs/projects.” That must be how the socialist kings get so rich so quickly, while the “contributors” discover crushing poverty, and all the available money is tied up in community projects that never seem to see the light of day.
Would Bernie Sanders ever have gotten rich, if he wasn’t involved in politics?
Inspired by actual GUM store merchandise.
“how long before Target pulls it “
i’ve been wondering that myself ... but still this attempt at a fun and hilarious game shows once again that leftists lack ANY sense of humor whatsoever based on their comments in the article ...
the game-pieces are a subtle but funny dig at the technological backwardness of socialist economies ...
For the game to be realistic you’d need to:
1) Replace the jail with a gulag . . . 2) Discriminate against the Jews and Israel . . . 3) Have a climate change square where Eminent Domain allows the Left to give Texas back to Mexico . . . 4) The winner gets to nuke all population centers to ‘save the planet’
LOL! Saw that the other day. ;)
Why am I reminded of “The Toys of Peace”?
