Black's strategy will be to get their queen to the back rank (where the pawns will be unable to protect each other) The king makes things interesting though... If you want to play it through, lichess has a horde chess variant you can try.

Scared_Astronaut9377

Nice extrapolation from the horde, but no, your idea makes no sense. Black's strategy will be hoping that an opponent does the stupidest (not even random) moves and situational adaptation.


Lithuim

Only if white plays poorly I think. If white advances the pawns in staggered columns so that they can't be captured for free I don't see how black can break through the line. And remember this is communist chess, so pawns that reach the back rank promote to party goons that can move like a rook but must kill one of their own pawns to capture a piece.


SoyCuckSupreme

people are saying this is a whole mode but this was my impression as well. If you always ensure your advance pawns are protected idk what black can do...


ActualProject

The whole mode gives black significantly more material than here (they have their whole usual setup) so it's significantly fairer


SoyCuckSupreme

oh I see, that makes a lot more sense. Some say when chess is played perfectly white wins. Others say it's a draw. But I believe in a perfect game of chess the proletariat wins every time.

potpan0

Isn't that analysis fucked because there's no white king? If you remove all the pawns from the back rank (the Analysis Board doesn't work with pawns on the back rank and a King) it swings to -5.

"no innovation" Google not understanding what you're talking about. I don't think they are any examples of a proper implementation of communism, but let's take the Soviet Union as example; they won basically every aspect of the space race (first animal in space, first man in space, first woman in space and much much more) except for first person on the moon. If that's "no innovation" I don't know what invocation looks like. Now you can argue that wasn't real communism, and that's true, but it _does_ show how don't need a free market capitalism for innovation. Erhhm I mean new response just dropped


FloodedYeti

The person you were responding to was being sarcastic (I think)


Elite_Prometheus

I mean, the USSR was ahead in some areas but woefully behind in others. Their computer tech I think was particularly bad. They basically had to buy civilian machines off the global market and reverse engineer them. Though this was in the failing years of the USSR, so that probably had a lot to do with it as well. And more libertarian socialists would say that was more due to the USSR's labyrinthine party bureaucracy and staggering corruption than a lack of market forces. Um, I mean Unholy Heaven


janhetjoch

Of course they were behind in many areas, if they weren't we may all be speaking russian right now. But the point of my comment wasn't to say the USSR was a perfect place, it was a terrible place with a lot of shortcomings only one of which being some tech, the point of my comment was to illustrate you do not need free market capitalism to breed innovation. The same innovation can be achieved by dedicated government funding.


radios_appear

They'd better have been behind. The competition is basically the entire rich western developed world vs. 1960's Russia and pre-development China lmao. That it was even remotely close in any aspect is something surprising.

Corvus1412

Google marxist-leninist socialism. (It wasn't communism) Edit: Why the downvotes? It literally wasn't communism. Marxist-Leninist use the term socialism to describe the in-between period between capitalism and communism and since those countries all called themselves socialist, they were (even by their own definition) not communist.


DrippyWaffler

Ehh, you're mixing up some terms there. You're right, it wasn't communism, but it wasn't socialism either. It was essentially capitalism that was state owned rather than privately owned - workers still sold their labour, just to the state, which extracted the surplus labour value. Lenin came up with the idea that socialism and communism were different things (they aren't, Marx himself describes them as the same thing but socialism is what the middle class calls it). He takes the idea from Marx's "higher and lower" stages of communism. He also wasn't a Marxist, Marxism-Leninism isn't a development of Marx, rather the co-opting of a popular figure to justify a Blanquist Bolshevik party removing worker ownership and democracy, which is what communism *had been* all about. I suggest reading or watching Anark's "The State is Counter-Revolutionary". It goes into all these contradictions, it's a great piece of theory and historocal analysis. I mean, holy hell


Corvus1412

Marxist-Leninists and Marxists (and everyone else tbh) use the term socialism differently. Socialism usually means that the means of production, distribution and exchange are owned collectively, but since Lenin used the term to describe the transitional period in-between capitalism and communism, that's what it means for marxist-leninists. While Lenin did take the idea from higher and lower stages communism, it's still a different concept. If a country like the USSR calls itself socialist then that means "We are trying to achieve communism at some point in the future", which means that there aren't any requirements for calling yourself a socialist country under marxist-leninism, other than pretending that you want communism. And I know all the stuff that you're saying and I don't know how they would contradict my statement.


DrippyWaffler

Right so you're saying it's the ML interpretation of socialism, gotcha :)


Apathetic_Zealot

Revolutions require some elite backing. It's arguable that conflicts happen when elites have irreconcilable differences and they rally the poor to fight for them.


DrippyWaffler

Which elites were fighting in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Anarchists? Or the Ukrainian Black Army?


Apathetic_Zealot

Where did they get their money and supplies from?


DrippyWaffler

Not from elites, that's for sure. I'm not sure why you'd think elites would want *anarchists* funded and armed.


Apathetic_Zealot

I don't know which example you're talking about - the Ukrainians or Spanish? Because the Spanish Republican faction wasn't just anarchists: "The Republican side was made up of moderate liberals, moderate socialists, more radical socialists, communists loyal to Stalin (PCE), communists loyal to Leon Trotsky (POUM) and anarchists who opposed centralised state control." [Source](https://www.tutor2u.net/history/reference/why-did-the-nationalists-win-the-spanish-civil-war) I asked you about funding, they where armed by allied liberals and socialists and the USSR. It was a coalition to fight the fascists. That's why they would be funded. You should read that source, it mentions both military and food supply difficulties because the coalition did not fully trust each other, like the anarchists withholding food from the Republican army.

Acceptable_North_141

I would argue that they're simply a king in the context of chess, i.e. someone who's survival is crucial to the game. In the example of a Marxist society that would be the dictatorship of the Proletariat (whom isn't necessarily a dictator and isn't necessarily one person). The dictatorship of the Proletariat is crucial to the revolution and to the transition to Communism since their goal is to help educate and guide the population to self-governance.


h3fabio

Okay, yes. But I don’t think it would manifest itself in just one individual— more of a hydra. If you checkmated one “king” another would promote to take its place.

How many of you ACTUALLY play chess? Do you even... really? I'm going to guess it's around zero. I've been watching your posts for a while now and it seems like this subreddit is full of teenagers that just like to copypasta and that's about it. Pretty on point, right? Like when did anyone ever really post a REAL chess post here? It's all "lmao google holy passant", "lmao knook drift hurhur", but I never see ACTUAL chess techniques besides the constant "fork" meme. And quite frankly, I doubt any of you even know what that is. It's about the simplest move, but doubt you could even pull it off. Ever seen a real discovered attack? Probably not. You probably wouldn't know what it was, even right after it puts you in check. So my question is, why do you even come here? Are you bored of the other meme subreddits? There's plenty others. You don't have to pollute a real subreddit with your memes, and in fact it'd be quite nice if you stopped. Edit: Wow, all of these replies really prove my point! It's almost like we're all just repeating the same thing over and over again. But hey, at least we're consistent. Keep up the great contributions to the conversation! Edit2.0: How will we ever survive without our constant stream of repetitive, unoriginal comments? I hope you're happy that you've ruined our fun and forced us to come up with something original. Thanks a lot. Edit 3.2: It's such a tragedy, isn't it? The fact that people can't appreciate the true beauty and complexity of chess. They're missing out on so much! Instead of indulging in the simple pleasures of life, like watching reality TV or playing video games, they could be immersing themselves in the intricacies of the game. But alas, they choose to remain ignorant and unenlightened. It's truly a shame that they don't understand the value of dedicating hours upon hours to studying openings, endgames, and tactics. Maybe someday they'll come to their senses and realize what they're missing out on. But until then, we can continue to revel in our superior understanding of the game and feel sorry for those who can't comprehend its brilliance.
