Answer : Yes.

It's hard to imagine 2 more contrasting historical figures. One is considered to be one of the most (if not *the* most) peaceful men in history, and the other will be hated forever for starting a war that killed 50 million people.
By 1939, it seemed that the world was headed for a war of a really large scale. Thinking he could make a difference, Gandhi's friends urged him to write to Hitler and dissuade him from making the mistakes he was about to make.
His letter was simple, to the point and only a couple of paragraphs long, Gandhi told Hitler that he was the one person who could prevent the war that could reduce humanity to savagery.

Answer :

Monopoly was intended to teach about the EVILS of capitalism

Before Parker Brothers bought and took over the game of Monopoly, the game was intended to be a criticism of the capitalist economic system. The very first version of Monopoly was patented in 1904 and it was called "The Landlord's Game."
