Divided we fall. By misguided individuals. One-sided they see the world. Money guided their hand. Now we’ve collided with the truth. United we stand tall. Against their nearsighted goals.

  • By 2035, as China’s emissions peak and begin to decline, much of the world is in chaos. Other nations increasingly emulate China’s model, recognizing its stability compared to the contradictions of capitalism. China’s leadership, having studied the fall of the Soviet Union, is resolute in avoiding a similar fate, implementing policies to adapt and strengthen its system.

    Capitalism, on the other hand, is buckling under the weight of its inherent contradictions. The pursuit of endless growth on a planet with finite resources, coupled with deepening inequality and environmental collapse, makes its failure inevitable. As China’s approach gains global traction, the cracks in the capitalist framework become impossible to ignore.


  • Here’s one possible scenario: In response to rising tensions, a U.S. president, imposes 100% tariffs on all goods from China. While the intention is to force a revival of domestic production, the U.S. cannot sustain the high labor costs needed to compete, leading to an economic collapse. China, meanwhile, maintains its production levels, redirecting exports to other nations and further solidifying its economic influence.

    Some Americans, desperate for change, travel to China to train as guerrilla fighters. These individuals return to the U.S., sparking a Cuban-style revolution aimed at overthrowing the capitalist system.


  • While a war seems inevitable with the way the U.S. is escalating tensions and fueling a new Cold War, I don’t believe it will be nuclear. The U.S. has long operated as a fascist nation under the guise of democracy, maintaining its global dominance through the exploitation and destabilization of the Global South. However, this dynamic is shifting as China’s expanding influence offers many nations an alternative to U.S. hegemony. Countries like Chile, which recently elected a progressive government, and others across Latin America, Africa, and Asia are moving toward policies rooted in social democracy or cutting ties with the U.S. altogether.

    On the other hand, figures like Javier Milei in Argentina serve as stark reminders of how capitalism fails the people it claims to empower. His policies and rhetoric, while appealing to the elites and global capital, have further exposed the inherent inequalities and failures of the capitalist system, sparking broader conversations about its viability. As more nations experiment with alternatives to U.S.-style neoliberalism, the cracks in the system grow more visible, paving the way for a potentially radical global shift.

    this is just one way there are so many more!





  • It’s totally normal to have little or no interest in sex! Many people feel this way, and it doesn’t make you any less valid or interesting. Personally, I find sex jokes funny because of how absurd the concept of sex seems to me. It’s important to embrace your unique perspective. I also often turn down sex because it feels like a chore.

    Not having sex is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m in my late 20s and have only had one partner. Sometimes we go months, even years, without seeing each other, and that’s completely okay. Relationships, sexual or otherwise, look different for everyone. Don’t let societal expectations dictate how you should feel or act.

    When people imply that you’re “less of a man” (or less of anything) for not focusing on sex, it says more about their insecurities and narrow worldview than about you. I’ve had this same conversation with my partner before: “I guess it’s the implication that I’m less of a man or something for not spending all my time trying to get laid” The reality is, everyone’s sex drive and perspective on sex are different. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to this stuff.

    Never let anyone pressure you into doing something that doesn’t feel right. Your body and your boundaries are yours alone. Live your life in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling to you. Whether you’re chaste, sexually active, or somewhere in between, your choices are valid, and you’re enough just as you are.


  • Once again, communism demonstrates its superiority as a system, particularly in its ability to pivot rapidly to meet changing market demands. “China’s path toward electrification is faster than in other economies.”

    This is no coincidence. The centralized planning inherent in communist systems allows for swift, coordinated action in response to shifting priorities. The result? A country that is leading the charge in clean energy and setting global benchmarks for modernization.

    This is yet another example of how a planned economy isn’t just reactive—it’s proactive, positioning itself ahead of global trends and demonstrating unparalleled agility in the face of change.


  • A striking example of how state-driven economies can out compete capitalist systems: “State funding for Chinese companies enables them to offer salaries beyond what Western companies can pay.” This reveals a crucial advantage of centralized economic planning.

    By leveraging state resources and prioritizing strategic sectors, governments in centrally planned economies can allocate funding where it matters most, including higher wages to attract and retain top talent. Unlike profit-driven capitalist enterprises that are bound by market constraints and shareholder demands, a state-led system can set long-term goals, absorb short-term losses, and maintain stability in ways that capitalism struggles to replicate.

    This centralized approach allows for deliberate investment in key industries and ensures that resources are distributed not just to maximize profit but also to achieve objectives. It demonstrates that when competition isn’t the driving force, a system can still deliver better outcomes for workers and industries alike.



  • At its core, the song delivers a powerful message to those living outside of China, urging them to remember their roots, their history, and the unity of their comrades. It emphasizes a deep sense of connection to one’s origins, likening China to a nurturing mother whose influence and love remain in the hearts of her children no matter where they go.

    While some might interpret the song as nationalistic, its true essence lies in cultural pride rather than political or territorial superiority. The lyrics celebrate the shared heritage, traditions, and values that unite people of Chinese descent across the globe. It’s not about asserting dominance or exclusivity but about cherishing the bonds that connect individuals to their cultural identity, wherever they may be. This distinction makes the song universally relatable to anyone who treasures their roots and history.

    I interpret this song as a reflection of optimism for collectivism and unity, aligning closely with the ideals of Chinese socialism or communism. The lyrics promote a sense of pride and solidarity, reminding listeners that their shared heritage binds them together as one people.

    The sentiment expressed in My Chinese Heart could resonate on a global scale. If the word “China” were replaced with “Earth,” the song’s message would transcend borders, advocating for a universal unity among all humanity. It’s a compelling and deeply moving piece. Definitely a dope song in how it captures both cultural pride and the potential for broader human connection.



  • Yeah, I have the same issue. I can list things I’ve seen and places I’ve been, and if someone from my childhood showed up, I could probably recognize them, but I don’t remember any specifics. Honestly, I think most of the details I do recall come from friends retelling the stories.

    It’s kind of funny to me now because I’ve reached the point where I couldn’t tell you what happened yesterday unless it was something super impactful. That’s just how it feels, most of my life hasn’t been all that memorable. I do the same thing day after day, and the only memories I really have are from moments that broke the monotony.


  • I just want to take a moment to say, The future can be bright and glorious! The only thing standing in our way is the grip of the bourgeoisie. If you’re able, get organized now, because when hard times come, people will need support, and it’s up to us to be that lifeline. People will look to communists as leaders because of our principles, our solidarity, and the strength of our networks. Let’s continue to build and embody the values we stand for compassion, mutual aid, and collective action.
