Now not only can I mock the capitalist ideal, but I have a board game that gives a fun and educational way of showing the disparity created within capitalism....
Ok, I'll bite. I'm having a bit of trouble connecting your dots. Are you saying, because the history of Monopoly has been altered, this is due to evil of capitalism? It just sounds like Darrow had created his own version of "The Landlord Game".

About the evil of capitalism: I was once creating a footbal trading game, and was sent a cease and desist order by the NFL. I guess you can't use real teams, logos, players, without "expressed written consent" [screenshot]. In one sense, I understand the reasoning behind getting permission. On the other hand, getting the rights to use those names costs millions of dollars.
