    chess is counterrevolutionary. you want me to sacrifice my pawns (peasants) for the queen (despicable liege lord)? a true friend of the people is checked in 3 moves through the emancipation of the serfs and application of laicism. the heap of chess masters from the USSR embody the revisionism of the post-stalin era in the Soviet Union

      Here it is with just Fidel for more general use. Wasn’t sure how to include the chess/kid without it being illegible/too small or splitting it in half. Seeing if I can make a version that includes them as well.

      Edit: Added second version.
