The board game, Monopoly, did the inverse. It (The Landlord's Game) was created as an anti-landlord, pro tax-the-rich, game, but later rule changes made it a celebration of greed. In true capitalist fashion, Lizzie Magie, the inventor of the game, got shafted out of any monetary reward by Parker Bros.
i like how a lot of the house rules people play with try to soften the inhumanity of the game, which just means the game takes longer to get to the same conclusion: one player controlling everything, the rest having nothing.
it models social democracy :D
