Did you know that the board game Monopoly-yes, the iconic capitalism simulator-was originally designed to warn against capitalism? Ironically, the game we play today was shaped by the very forces it sought to critique. So how did an anti-capitalist teaching tool transform into a symbol of the system it opposed? From political parodies to endless reskins, Monopoly's journey is as twisted as a game of chance 🎥🕹️

To be fair, Monopoly go has nothing in common with pokemon go aside from the go in the name. it is rather a copy of Coinmaster which is an insidious skinner box numbers go up game with hostile monetization. You could probably make a dark pattern episode of 30 minutes just with what is used in that game. Just as bad as raid shadow legends.

I like to interpret the moment of every monopoly game where people get angry, quit/ mess up the board in frustration as a metaphor for 'Revolution'. Tho I know it wasn't intended for people to rage quit, it works well as a symbol of what happens when a system is so unfair & crushing that people can't 'make a living' in the game. People flip the table, knock over the pieces, scatter the money & assets all over the place & then the players try to rebuild & put it all back together. They make new rules, change the board, etc but more often than not just stop playing entirely. The rage quit aspect of the game is very metaphorical.

Could always add a house rule where, every time a monopoly is formed, a "seize the means of production" card is added to both Chance and Community Chest decks. Upon drawing one of the cards, all players' properties are placed in a communal pile, any rents from people landing on those properties are divided equally throughout the whole group and houses/hotels are placed as the result of a vote and everyone pitches in on their cost based on a percentage of their current funds.

But I need to make an important clarification: The Landlord's Game was specifically about Georgism and the dangers of land monopoly, and not rent control - that is something different entirely! Further, land was/is not capital (especially in that era of political economy!); as such, The Landlord's Game was anti-monopoly, but not anti-capitalist.

@t.xaviersalgado4106 25 дней назад

We know that rent controls don't work, because, either you want it or not, housing is a commodity, and it's subject to market rules. Land is also a commodity that have not been treated as such and a tax on it could be interesting, because there is no incentive on people to make use of that commodity, as you have for all other goods.

It should be about forcing landlords to stop being landlords and sell to the people who actually live in the home instead.

@chakatfirepaw 28 дней назад

It's almost certainly based around how the things people complain about are really about the impact of common house rules and people failing to understand the basics of trading, (i.e. that you aren't trying to 'win' the trade but rather that a trade gives you both an edge on everyone else). The three main problematic house rules are: 1: The Free Parking jackpot, which removes the inherent money bleed in the game and replaces it with a net flow of money from the bank to the players. 2: Adding extra houses and hotels and/or allowing you to build hotels directly. The game has 32 houses and 12 hotels, no more, and building a hotel requires you to have four houses actually built on all properties in the monopoly. Locking up the housing supply is part of game strategies. 3: Forgetting that any time someone lands on an unowned property, they either buy it or it goes up for auction. The only way someone doesn't end up owing it is if no one is willing to pay $1 for it, (and given that, if nothing else, you can get at least $30 from mortgaging it...).

nice to see someone covering the origins of Monopoly. just want to say that Georgists do not think rent control is the solution. George's remedy is the Land Value Tax. it is assessed based on the unimproved value of land, not the property on top of it. it doesn't restrict free trade. George was also against patents and thought copyrights should have a very limited time length (some Georgists think copyrights should be abolished as well).

@heidimeade237 5 дней назад

A "true" localized version of Monopoly based on city streets/neighborhoods like the original, rather than having all the spaces taken up by kitschy tourist/sport event spots, couldn't fly today. Remember, Monopoly's board was based on for example Mediterranean and Baltic Avenues actually being the low rent slums of Atlantic City at the time. One couldn't replicate that today. And frankly, avoiding the horrid realization to some young child living on that city's version of Baltic Avenue that they live in the poor part of town, is worth it. No, you can't hide that fact from a kid forever, but let them not realize it till they're at least close to 12 rather than the pre-10 age many kids first play Monopoly.

Two things I'd like to mention: 1. Despite Parker Brothers attempt to take credit away from the women who were the original and contributing designers of "Monopoly, they (Parker Bros.,) like anyone else who seeks to deceive, should know that time is the ultimate snitch and truth will be told. (And you never know how much damage that truth may bring to the deceivers. Could be reputation damage; could be worse.) 2. I love "Monopoly," but am definitely against the "free parking" house rule as it does drag out the game if not make it completely impossible to finish. Also, I have several different versions of the game, both official and bootleg, ranging from Star Wars and Pirates of the Carribean, to my home cities' created knock-off version.

Important correction: The mobile game "Monopoly Go" has absolutely nothing to do with Pokemon Go. Monopoly Go is based off of a different mobile game called Piggy Go, which itself is based off of Coin Master (which is the "original" game, in this lineage). Monopoly Go has absolutely no features that harken it to Pokemon Go (it does not have *any* geo-location related features, nor do you capture characters, nor do you participate in raids nor gym battles). Much like Coin Master and Piggy Go, the mobile game of Monopoly Go involves spinning a slot machine with positive RTP, and then reinvesting that money into a decorative space (which eventually hits obsolescence and is replaced by a new decorative space, in an endless cycle).

Gah. I never particularly liked monopoly, but then, when i was in my 20s and still living at home, my sibs would strong arm me into playing at like 9pm. As a morning person who had to be up at 530 am for work, I was overtired and getting loopy by midway through the game, and my more awake sibs were putting more and more houses all over. So I took my little game piece, dubbed it Horsie-zilla and preceded to knock over all their hotels & houses. idk why they kept insisting on playing with me after the 5th or 6th time I did that. It has become an in-joke among us for when one of us gets to that punch-drunk with tiredness stage.

If you want to see some really weird and overly complicated variations of monopoly check out No Rolls Barred's Monopoly But series. It started with them having the idea of communist monopoly and it's just expanded since then into wilder and wilder idea and I adore it. Monopoly but crypto, monopoly but the roman empire, monopoly but in hell are all ones that they've done. I think monopoly but zombies might be my favorite besides communist monopoly

There is even a forever version of monopoly with triple the spaces and a chance to sell your soul

For those who aren't aware, the McDonald's Monopoly promotional thing was so out-of-control, it even had an IRL Mafia family involved in falsely claiming a couple of the $1 million prizes

Collecting $200 when you pass go is an example of Universal Basic Income. Yet no one playing monopoly thinks it will take away players' motivation or need for achievement.

OK I just have to ask, I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but is there any chance that anything for the dragoncop setting you made is available to read, cause i gotta admit to being a sucker for dragons

I think you've misunderstood what rent means in this context. It's not the idea of renting something, but rather, the idea of economic rent - money earned by holding on to a fixed supply limited resource (land, natural resources, and so on). The idea put forward by the landlords game was certainly not rent control, but a tax on land.

Yay, I love The Landlord's Game! I printed my own board and cards of it. Small nitpick: I wouldn't say that the game tried to "warn against" capitalism. I'd rather say that it tried to fix capitalism, or warn against doing capitalism badly. This was Marx's critique of Georgism: That it tried to fix capitalism instead of overthrowing it. Surprise surprise, we didn't do either.

The link from this video is a video about the history of Monopoly. How does Monopoly relate to Save Scumming?

Should mention that Monopoly's adaptations of "House Rules" aren't always the best. Like Ms. Monopoly, which is entirely sex-ist. I even know one person who made several videos to talk about how much he hated the Cheater's edition: a game that acknowledged people CAN cheat, let's you Cheat, and give you cheats nobody thought up
