The People's Tribunal
IMAGERY
A figure in a red judge's robe holds scales in one hand — one pan weighted with bread, the other with gold coins. The bread side hangs lower. In the other hand, a gavel made from a hammer. Behind them, a wall of files labeled 'CONTRADICTIONS OF CAPITAL.'
READING
Accountability, redistribution, and the correction of historical wrongs. The People's Tribunal does not weigh guilt and innocence — it weighs need against surplus. The verdict is predetermined by material conditions. This card asks: what imbalance in your life demands correction?
SELF-CRITICISM
Blindfolded justice is impartial. The People's Tribunal removed the blindfold, read the bank statements, and reached a different conclusion.
