Monopoly and its anti-capitalist roots.
Originally conceived as The Landlord's Game by Elizabeth Magie.
Meanwhile back in Poland....
If there is one country (alongside Vaclav's Czech Republic) that has taken the lead in explaining to the world the evil's of communism it's Poland. At every turn the Polish hold no punches in dealing with their disdain for communism and the Western dopes who still defend it.
After all, unlike progressives who live in nothing but comfort in the West, Poland actually experienced it.
As the West continues its strange, mad descent into adopting more and more socialist-socialized policies while insisting on believing it's doing it 'right' the Poles, thankfully, hold no such romantic arrogance in their thoughts.
For that, we should be grateful to Poland.
Poland expresses its pride for having kicked to the curb defunct ideologies like communism on many fronts and through several mediums including having devised a game board.
From Der Spiegel:
A Polish research institute has developed a board game to teach young people about life under Communism. In the game, which is inspired by Monopoly, players must wait in endless lines at stores for scarce goods. For added realism, they have to put up with people cutting in line and products running out -- unless they have a "colleague in the government" card.
I already know what I want for Christmas, honey.
It's called The Waiting Game.
