but if you had some really good games...
The Affinity Group - player has to assimilate Das Kapital and fend off
globalization
The Peacenik - player has to propound non-violence, sway crowds and
gain footholds in media and gov't
The Wobbly - player is faced with workplace tyranny, has to develop autonomy

well maybe none of the above, but couldn't there be games where
subject matter is required to advance the play and players assimilate
it without ever triggering the "oh, this is work" tripwire?
