I read the meme as if it's made by a rad lib insinuating socialism=bad and we just need ethical capitalism, but someone please tell me if I'm wrong .

    > describes literal hellworld

    "if you don't like hellworld your a socialist"

    How's that in favor of capitalism?

    I don't see what's cringe here? It's a simple allegory, where the property and money in Monopoly is doled out similar to how wealth is distributed in the real world. You're supposed to think it sounds like hell world.

    Then the second part is about how literally any reform suggested to this utterly broken system is decried as socialism or that it would collapse society.

    I'm pretty sure this is trying to be "pro socialism" but the punchline should just be "You are a socialist."

        Monopoly with more spaces, skyscrapers, train depots, a third die, and buss passes. Its a lot of fun!

            Yeah it's a mainstay when I visit my family. You get into mid game a lot quicker and there's a bit more balancing mechanics, but it's still monopoly.

    This isn't anti-socialist but it's also silly because you're supposed to learn this lesson from just playing monopoly normally. One player ends up accumulating properties through rent extraction until the working class incentives (passing go, going to jail) no longer matter because you're too stinking rich and nobody within the system will ever prevent you from owning everything.
