Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

It's a common misconception that Monopoly is a hymn to capitalism.

Actually, it's a reimplantation of the Landlord's Game, which was designed to demonstrate the mechanics of wealth accumulation and its nasty consequences when almost everybody end in poverty.

A close-up of the northeast quadrant of the map/board shows some of the obstacles on the way to Soviet America, from the obvious, such as Wall Street and “Boss Thugs,” to the “misleaders” of seemingly sympathetic organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and the Socialist Party.

Lol

"Splitters!!!"

PS: looks less boring than monopoly, though, more chaos :D

Was just thinking that.

Monopoly can actually be a pretty quick game if you play by the rules. Which literally nobody does.
