Recently got 8 or so games in the last sale, but I'm incredibly busy with school and doing "more useful stuff" like reading theory. But I really want to get started on Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, Citizen Sleeper or Disco Elysium... As for genres I'm not picky, but I love when there's lessons to be learnt in a game (I'm one of those people yes). That and Yakuza series lol

Been caught up with school work recently, stressing a lot too out of fear of not getting into the university I want. But on the bright side, food here is cheap and tasty so I can't complain.

With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?

What is the position of the Russian Communist party in Russia today? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I'm curious as to what the opinions on the Russian Communist Party are and what their activity is like, if anybody has reading material about this stuff please do leave it in the comments.

Belarusians registered as permanent russian citizens can now vote and be elected in Russia, and reciprocally for russians in Belarus. Which means that a double citizen can now vote in both elections. in c/russia@lemmygrad.ml

I've heard that Lukashenko is thought to be a crypto-communist type? I'm clueless, so if you have any reading material about Lukashenko could you post it here?

Both cities are very safe, but I recommend Chengdu more than Shanghai. Cost of living in Shanghai is pretty insane, especially if you come from a 3rd world country with bad currency (tho sill better than many major cities in the west).

Chengdu is a lot more affordable if not cheap, from what I've seen of property prices. Also Shanghai is pretty hectic but I hear Chengdu is laidback, so that's nicer. Also Chengdu has absolutely beautiful mountains.

My family is very very anti-west, but most of my extended family has emigrated to the West and have been inundated with this funky anti-China shit (despite us being Chinese diaspora). It gets worse because a few of them are married to people who work in government of these Western countries, so they're sure to be getting political knowledge from them.

I plan on having them go to China, because I have seen anecdotes of people being cured of their anti-China brain worms, or at least it plants the seed of doubt in their mind. But also I just kinda want to see their chud reactions, in awe that the supposed authoritarian state is literally 10x better.

Trump's Gameplan (lemmygrad.ml)
 

As Trump is gonna put his insane tariffs in place, what do you guys think is the goal here? Because I fear that he is playing 4D chess but making it look like he is playing checkers, and if his tariffs are out into place it'll undoubtedly anger and radicalise lots of Americans especially, and just cause a general shitshow for approval ratings and threaten the domestic safety of capital. Thoughts?

Propaganda/ Agitprop on Xiaohongshu/ Rednote (lemmygrad.ml)
 

As most of you know the US is probably gonna ban TikTok, and because of that many Americans are moving to China's homegrown equivalent of Instagram: Xiaohongshu (literally: little red book)/ Rednote.

I think this is a good opportunity for us as communists to seize, because unlike TikTok, Xiaohongshu is one app for both China and the rest of the world. Thus it's dominated by Mainland Chinese posters showing their lives, hobbies, etc, which are very similar (in terms of hobbies) or better (in terms of living conditions) than Americans, whereas that wouldn't have been the case on TikTok as China and the rest of the world have separate apps.

For many already disillusioned Americans who may have had a negative view towards China (which is most Americans), this would shatter the illusion for some and potentially open their eyes to the success of socialism, and an alternative to the current capitalist system; spurring them on to radicalization.

Therefore I think that we should seize on this moment to jump on the bandwagon in order to educate Americans or just to show what China is really like. Especially because after a while the US will probably want to ban this app too. So there may not be a lot of time. What do you guys think?

Pursual of higher studies (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Hi, I am a young student and am going on to university soon. I am interested in helping causes and organisations like unions and such for a profession. I thought of doing political science, but that's not very agreeable to my parents. So I thought of doing economics however I'm not sure how employable a pure economics degree is and whether or not I can stomache the neoliberal economics. If anyone could provide some of your own experiences and help me I would appreciate it.
