if I see a single so called "communist" out there whose lats are not just poppin, whose torso is not just fearsome, shaped like motherfucking bruce lee, with biceps strong enough to rip apart the police by hand, I'll know they're actually a fucking LIBERAL
Bags of sand or jugs of water have always, to my knowledge, been the cheapest alternative to weights. With those you could do bent over rows. I think access to a pool for upper body cardio would sooner be available to someone who doesn't have a row machine. Otherwise you'd need to start getting creative (build your own pulley system)
