You should probably learn the difference between 'literally' and 'figuratively'.

Literal pirate parties exist in Somali and prey on nearby shipping lanes.

If your political party documents and registration are under the name "The Pirate Party," you're quite literally the pirate party.

And you plunder ships in high waters?

literally has been used as figuratively for rhetorical purposes for a long time my overly literal friend
