Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I think you may have misremembered what Marx said because this is in the preface of the Communist Manifesto: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/preface.htm

that this struggle, however, has now reached a stage where the exploited and oppressed class (the proletariat) can no longer emancipate itself from the class which exploits and oppresses it (the bourgeoisie), without at the same time forever freeing the whole of society from exploitation, oppression, class struggles

This means you have to liberate others before liberating yourself.
