I’m pretty sure monopoly was supposed to show how it’s a bad system

Indeed, that was the original intent of the game to show that even if you start in the most fair conditions possible, at the end of the game one person will own everything through the process of competition. It’s vitally important for people to understand that capitalism isn’t a static system, it evolves over time as certain companies succeed and grow and it becomes increasingly difficult for others to compete with them. Competition ends up being the very engine of capital accumulation.
