More like conservatives start the game with a small, mostly insignificant loan from their parents of few million dollars then use that initial starting position to disenfranchise all the other players while hoarding the cash so nobody else can collect from the bank.

This is a myth socialist came up with because they can't even design a board game themselves, fyi.

Monopoly was created by a Georgist to promote a LVT.

You're both kinda right. Georgists were concerned with making capitalism fairer, and, through this fairness, more robust.

The inspiration began with a book that her father, the anti-monopolist politician James Magie, had handed to her. In the pages of Henry Georges classic, Progress and Poverty (1879), she encountered his conviction that the equal right of all men to use the land is as clear as their equal right to breathe the air it is a right proclaimed by the fact of their existence.

Travelling around America in the 1870s, George had witnessed persistent destitution amid growing wealth, and he believed it was largely the inequity of land ownership that bound these two forces poverty and progress together. So instead of following Twain by encouraging his fellow citizens to buy land, he called on the state to tax it.

Georgist are explicitly pro-capitalism. We just think there are better forms of taxation than income and investment.

I mean, ideally play almost any other board game. Monopoly fucking sucks, and is made infinitely worse when people use Free Parking to extend the game into forever and/or don't auction a property if they don't buy it.

But yes, buy most properties and don't build hotels.
