A fan made this image of my tweet and I appreciate it.
That said Monopoly was kind of designed to show you how miserable and shitty capitalism is.
So long as you’re not a sore loser, it’s a lot of fun!
Ok I’m kidding. But seriously winning is fun. Both in monopoly and capitalism.
Yes, winning a game in a rigged system where your birth drastically effects the amount of money you start with is super fucking fun for the people whose lives are built on the backs of the workers.
Play the cards in your hand, whatever they are
Oh look I got revolution, all bourgois players must either submit all their property for redistribution or go immediately to the gulag.
Do not pass go. Do not receive 200 dollars.
Redistribution? Are you high? You can have one property and I’ll write it off as a donation deduction.
Gulag.

You don’t need to be so angry at rich people. Taking their money won’t solve whatever problems you’re dealing with.
Actually my problem is the unequal distribution of wealth, so it would in fact, solve all of my problems.
That’s ridiculous thinking. My life would also be so much easier if I just took what I wanted from other people. But I’m not going to do that because, hear me out, it’s not mine to take.
The wealth of the capitalist class is stolen goods, I merely advocate returning it to its rightful owners (the workers who produced it)
How can you generalize a whole class of people like that? Sold goods are not stolen goods. The factory workers who make and sell leather aren’t entitled to the money the CEO of Nike earns for selling sneakers.
Capital is literally money used to make more money without work. The greatest fortunes are all the result of capital accumulation and not their owner’s work, but the financial manipulations of the capitalist class and theft from the workers. Ownership as it currently works is theft.
Like I’m not generalizing “stealing a part of value created using a definition of ownership created to benefit them” is literally how capitalist is defined. That is the definition of the capitalist class. Like would it be generalizing to say “burglars steal?” because that is by definition what a burglar does, a capitalist by definition is a thief.
Money makes money, that’s the whole point. Investments are neither manipulation nor theft. That’s quite an assumption to say every wealthy person’s fortune was not the result of hard work.
…one can work three jobs under capitalism and live under the poverty line, one can never have worked a day in ones life and be richer than god, how is that fair? and investments are inherently theft, where do you think the money they make comes from? It’s a percentage of someone else’s work.
Also how do you not see that in a system where money gets its owner more money that wealth tends to accumulate more and more with a smaller and smaller percentage of the population, leaving everyone else to starve?
