    Didn’t the woman who came up with monopoly create it to teach the flaws of capitalist thinking? Then some guy stole it from her and capitalized. Classic.

    Not really the best metaphor, as in Monopoly you actually start with money. A better analogy would probably be something like: Imagine you’re playing Monopoly, but you don’t have any starting money and all the properties are already bought up. Every time you pass go and collect $200, $180 of it immediately goes to the rich. That is how most people live their lives.
