    I don’t feel like rustling up the rulebook at the moment, but you can probably find it on Board Game Geek. Cooperative play is built intp the game. The rules indicate that you can either work together or try to play for yourself, not only did they consider this a possibility, it is a feature of the game.

      Okay, that reframes this quite a lot for me then. Because the phrase “winning is for capitalists” sounds like they’re openly mocking socialism, but knowing this it sounds like there’s a hidden second meaning underneath it, that if you choose socialism you don’t need to worry about winning at all. It sounds like it’s meant to be an object lesson that cooperation is better than competition.
