   Rescued a meme without alt-text.

   Beyond including #UBI, the original version of what is now called monopoly had a cooperative or "Prosperity" mode.

   The whole point of the game was to show how competing for profit destroys society!

   The game was created to be a "practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences".
