Without a socialist component here, they Fat Cat Capitalists have turned democracy into capitalism and capitalism into a game of Monolopy.

They own the board, run the bank, Chance and Community Chest. And they all get lifetime Get Out of Jail Free cards.

They win.

We get to sit on the sidelines, powerless, and watch them enjoy "playing" the rest of the "game" - with our lives in the balance.

Then we lose everything.

Boom and bust Monolopy capitalism isn't an economic system. It's a game they're running on us where the booms and the busts are nothing more than carefully engineered events allowing them to take their "winnings" every so often while clearing the table of we the suckers.
