Monopoly was invented to criticize Capitalism

🃏 Monopoly Was Originally an Anti-Capitalist Game! 🤯

Monopoly wasn’t meant to celebrate getting rich—it was created in 1903 by Lizzie Magie, a feminist & anti-monopolist, to critique capitalism.

Her game, The Landlord’s Game, showed how monopolies crush the poor. But in 1935, Parker Brothers bought it for $500—and turned it into the Monopoly we know today.

The irony? A game meant to warn us about capitalism became a symbol of it. 😂💰
