How is it capitalist propagarda exactly? Parker Brothers might have screwed her over, but it's impossible to come out of a game of monopoly feeling more symphatetic towards landlords than when you started.
I.e., perfect satire of the current system?
The game is (still) a satirical version of the real housing market, and anybody with half a brain gets the impression of unfairness after a game of monopoly. This is unrelated to the fact that parker brothers is making a lot of money with the game
The trouble is, their incorrect takeaway is that Monopoly is a bad game, instead of the correct takeaway that Monopoly is an excellent demonstration of a bad system. Parker Brothers' removal of the "prosperity" ruleset ruined any educational value it had.
