Monopoly Socialism, manufactured by the toy company Hasbro, is a parody of the classic board game.
(CNN)Winning is for capitalists. At least that's the message behind a parody of Monopoly that surfaced this week after a Twitter thread on the game spread widely.
In Monopoly Socialism, an official version of the game manufactured by the toy company Hasbro, players move around the board contributing to community projects "unless they can steal projects to get ahead," according to the product's description.
When players pass go, they get a $50 "living wage" as opposed to the usual $200, and the tokens are all dated artifacts like a typewriter, a phonograph, a pocket watch, an old-fashioned telephone and an old-style TV set.

Maybe you enjoy them and see them over and over again. So are you a delicate sensitive impressionable or a sturdy strong tough?

His manners are so lacking that if he doesn't elbow someone out of the way or push someone aside or verbally attack someone everyone breathes a sigh of relief thinking they just averted disaster. All about him. All involving him and how he acts and talks and walks and eats and drinks and laughs and frowns and thinks. He is center stage on the world stage not because he is the very best but because he is the least stable dependable reasonable sane person there. SIGH. less

He will make SURE he is going to get paid for it and will make sure it will held at a place he owns. Bet he gets away with it. Who is gonna stop him from raking in the big bucks and jacking up the prices just because he can?
If so then you never believe anyone who says anything that was leaked even thought it is bigly and badly against someone you despise? You really expect me to believe that? C'mon!
Or will Macron deny and say he did no such thing? The world awaits to see if he (you know who he) indeed is the boss there or just told another lie. I can hardly wait. You?

Now Jerry is an "enemy" because he doesn't jump through hoops or do loopty loops or grovel or roll over or beg or kiss butt... Jerry is an "enemy".Black and white is his world. He prefers white and thinks the anti-hims are all black...hearted that is.It's an E ride alright with him. Never know what something and when something will cause another explosion which will unleash another torrent of tweets in rapid succession each one more over the top than the other and les coherent. Gibberish always is the end game. He is a self-perpetuating anxiety anger explosion device just geared up to let loose at any moment and go BOOM!. Exciting? less

Then he backtracks and allows for a calmer more sane approach. Market shoots up! We are talking BILLIONS of dollars here m'dears! BILLIONS of dollars of value for his delightful manipulation up or down. More threats of more tariffs on more China things demanding no American company do business with China. CRASH DOWN DOWN DOWN. Got a phone call and the Chinese leader wants to talk sez himself. Guarantee that the MARKET WILL SHOOT WAY up today on that sliver glimmer of hope?Of will it continue to PLUMMET down. I guess we'll see.He toys with words. He is very impressed with his power. How exciting to be in that catbird seat with the world awaiting your next move your next words.See me hear me fear me. I am your all. Could he be right? Is he the be all and end all of all? less

Making America Great Again by ridding it of the vermin and invasions by infection of those who are not white christians. A worthy goal for those who want their country back. Back from whom? Native Americans who are not white? Well that part is irrelevant.Since he is able to get whatever he wants without limit and never has to answer for it either he will honor them or pardon them. The more kills of people of color the bigger the medal the bigger the honor.He may get his fake AG liddle billybarr to look the other way and never try to apprehend them. Let them go and do what they believe needs to done unfettered without any interference. A world like that is coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Excited? less

You read that right.The investigators are going to be digging into the lives and backgrounds of ALL JOURNALISTS to find dirt and anything embarrassing that they can use against them.That is now the price of doing your job and seeking the truth/facts/proof/evidence and writing about it.A worthy endeavor ain't it? We can't have anyone anywhere at any time for any reason actually telling us what the guy actually said or did or threatened or planned. Not good PR.So whatcha got is gonna be a FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED NATIONAL ENQUIRER based in the White House which will leave no tern unstoned to seek revenge retaliation and retribution. Being held accountable is not something he will tolerate. All videos of him or audios of him that are embarrassing will be confiscated and destroyed.I'm not sure what the details are. This news is hot news. I don't know if they will get any warnings first before the dirt is tol... less

The press is very uppity when it comes to people telling them how to do their jobs. The press gets very angry when folks attack them for doing their jobs.No wonder He says they are the enemy of the people. He thinks HE IS THE PEOPLE and the press is certainly his enemy. Every time they report on what he said or did he explodes. Out to get him. Deep dark state. All Hillary's or Barack's or Dems or women or people of color conspire and collude to "get him". Why? Because they are so jealous envious of him. His brilliance his eloquence his demeanor his appearance his caring his love for all people his kindness his honesty his integrity. All shout QUALITY. He doesn't understand why everyone doesn't adore him as his base does. I kinda sorta wonder too. less

Is the guy calling off the threats? Did China call or is that just another lie?China holds all the cards. The Chinese Leader is PRESIDENT FOR LIFE and the guy faces re-election in 2020. The guy is impotent which perhaps he realized and that is why he is as of yesterday complimenting the Chinese leader and making it sound like resolution is near. In other words a**-kissing. A tour through the brain of the guy might be deadly. All the twists and turns and dark alleys and stairs leading nowhere. I... less

Making noise is not the same thing as making progress. I guess the concept takes a genius to understand. Which is why the Yo-Yo ups and downs and the push me pull me goes forward and backtracks. We got no genius here.
