Thanks for the tip, I’ll see if I find something interesting to post

Not at all; hopefully I will improve on this.

I’m trying my best to integrate rest and studying optimally while dealing with personal problems. The lack of peers to talk to (because of busyness and introversion) makes me feel lonely, but I manage.

I really wans’t able to integrate it in my life, despite my family recommending it: aside from sometimes using it as a search engine and for shits and giggles, I did not find a consistent usecase. Of course, if China managed to make robots that can help me in doing house chores, I would jump at the opportunity.

(Unrelated, but what I really want to see is discoveries in bioenengeneering and cybernetics. The thought of augmenting my physical and mental capabilities makes me giddy)

I understand the example I gave doesn’t really look good; I’ll look into more parties to see if there’s one that seems better

Good luck comrade!

I’ll look into it, thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep that in mind

Thanks, comrade!

Thanks comrade, I won’t.

Thanks for the heads up. Recent news have made many people lose hope on Venezuela; I don’t even know if I should keep my comment up, in case things go south for the country.

Venezuela doesn’t yet recognize the zionist entity, nor has it reestablished relations. Claims of the contrary have already been proven false.

Just voted in the local elections. Since there were only liberal candidates, I wrote Rodríguez and Xi. I just hope the people who read it get curious. Now that I think about it, I should also have added a link to prolewiki to really get my point across.

If it can cheer you up, a general strike was held in my country two days ago.

On a side note, the silence surrounding this event might just be due to greater censoring by bourgeois media outlets.

I feel the need to thank you all for providing a ML space to read theory and get my news from. I’ve realised that had Lemmygrad (and adjacent spaces like Prolewiki, Tankietube and Matapacos.dog) not existed, not only would I still be a liberal, but I would also have gone mad from not understanding a damn thing of what is happening right now in the world.

Granted, I still need to improve (Still haven’t joined a party, still hide the fact I’m a communist to friends) but I’ll work on that.

Also, about my parents being left leaning: I was very wrong. My father is literally a liberal politician^TM who believes in european supremacy, while my mother just tags along. The former has very confused knowledge about Gramsci, and believes the fascist EU is the pinnacle of democracy (“why else would Africans die to reach us” and other instances of colonial mentality); I don’t think I’m capable enouth to make him change. The latter is otherwise not into politics, and I might have made her interested in communism, but I’m afraid I’m not well equipped to satisfy said interest; I’m not a good divulgator and lack the knowledge needed.

They’re one and the same; the fact there were so many CEOs and billionaires with Trump at the recent China-USA meeting wasn’t a coincidence.

I think it’s still too early to say we lost Venezuela. Like another comrade has said here, some sanctions were lifted, and a deal was made to receive Petroleum royalties.

We need to remember that Venezuela still suffered a strategic defeat, they can’t just act like Maduro and Flores weren’t kidnapped, plus they aren’t as strong as Iran or the USSR, and they are much closer to the US, so their current stance is understandable.

About Washington’s claims of now controlling the country: They keep saying the same thing about all other countries they attacked. They’ll never admit they attacked Venezuela for so little gain as a simple setback of the Bolivarian revolution, just like they’ll never admit they were humiliated by Yemen, Iran, or China, or that they weren’t able to balkanize Russia.

Personally, the news given by comrade rainpizza on Venezuela have me believe I should still show support.

Why?

I’ve had a discussion with my parents, who are pretty left leaning, but still vote for a bourgeois party, and they told me that they are seeing a certain push to the left in said party. Now, they could be wrong, but this got me thinking of what’s to come.

It could be possible that, as China cements itself as the greatest country in the world (in terms of military, economy, international relations, R&D etc.), their ideology will have an influence on not just the world proletariat, but also on the world petit-bourgeoisie and even bourgeoisie, following that the ruling ideology always ends up being that of the ruling class. As a result, a literal red wave might be coming.

It could just be rambling, but this does put me in a good mood.
