Monopoly for Socialists

[FantasyIreland]

I used to own one of those although mine was the estate version.

Makes sense......Get all the kids in,someone else is paying for.

Not really, I have no kids.

You have to wonder why the politically unaware bother posting in the politics forum when they don't know the difference.

Maybe the forum needs a room for clueless idiots where they can exchange nonsensical fantasy views of life.

"Cluess idiots" i can forgive, ten-bob class warriors are a totally different sect. Thatcher apologists, daily hate-mailers, pseudo-intellectual sneering smug merchant xenophobes, the brexit hard core in fact. Definitely not idiots and definitely not fans of democracy. Or truth. Just a glance at their "heroes" says everything , from bojiac to farage, from gove to the erg/rothermere , trump to the patel witch. " Idiots' does not come close to describing the nasties pushing their hard wrong agenda on a totally shat on public....

You shouldn't justify that crap with an answer. Can't belive what some get away with

Monopoly has just gobbled Peppa Pig.

There's an awful lesson for us all there.

That's not humour, its propaganda.

And going off those two cards what the fuck has that got to do with Socialism.

Seems quite childish and inaccurate. I'm guessing Hasbro aren't planning to keep operating past the baby boomers generation? If I was a shareholder I'd be deeply unhappy.

Jesus Christ, Damo. What the fuck has happened to you?

The hurt feelings jibes are more applicable to someone socially liberal, not economically socialist.

Looking at it, it’s about as funny as toothache.

Its just a but of fun lads. You lot take yourselves so seriously all the time.

"NOBODY MAY MOCK OR SATIRISE MY BELIEFS"

Have a day off hey? It's a funny board game parodying American views of socialism. Its not the end of civilisation.

Also, extra top big marks to the guy who suggested that introducing a political aspect to Monopoly will hurt sales. High IQ posting.

Introducing two games targeted at ridiculing and alienating 1. Around 40% of their target market and 2. The younger buying demographic isn't exactly great long term marketing. They should leave it to Paddy Power tbf, nobody likes bookies anyway.

You remind me of those guys who complain there are black people or women in WW2 video games.

Your version still exists. You're under no obligation to buy this. You can buy any version of Monopoly you like. This has no effect on your ability to play Monopoly.

A company has released a product which caters to a certain amount of people and has no effect on anyone else.

Also, again, it's a joke game. You know, humour? Do you even remember what that is any more?

I understand humour perfectly well Damo, if it even qualified as witty I'd appreciate it. The thing is, it's not even accurate (as satire needs to be). Its just sad pandering to the blinkered views of one demographic. It's about as funny as the most recent episodes of family guy.
