I don’t think you can actually get citizenship nowadays. In the past a few European and American communists who helped during the civil war were awarded citizenship, but now I think only very high-ranking businesspeople can get a quasi-citizenship if they promise to bring a lot of shit to China. Don’t quote me though.
It’s pretty easy to move over if you’re from an English-speaking country and want to work as an English teacher. But you have to get your permit renewed often. You also can’t own property if you plan on staying long-term. There might be a way to get permanent residence through marriage but I’m not sure.
So in short it’s basically impossible.
I second this. Pickle everything, homemade stuff tastes way better and you can experiment with different recipes and veggies (pickled okra is delish).
My grandpa put $100 down for his first house in 1960.
That’s $880 today according to an inflation calculator I found online.
Chris Harman’s _How Marxism Works is a good one, it’s written in an easily accessible style and breaks down the basics of Marxism. It also has a lot of examples from throughout history in terms of what capitalism has produced, how marxists have responded to it, and communism in practice in China, the USSR, etc
Alright so I have lost my login to this google drive, so download while you can. Lots of leftist lit:

I don’t know your story, so im going to throw everything at you and you can take what you need.
So you, like many gifted kids, are what we call “twice-exceptional”. Gifted students come in all variations, and there’s oftentimes an overlap between giftedness and ADHD and other issues. So it’s super common and other gifted students at your school probably also have a similar story.
If you can, you should talk to your parents and have them set up a meeting with the school/guidance counselor/school psychologist if you have one. You can also go to them yourself, but without parent involvement I think your chances are pretty low, unfortunately.
Depending on your state, I guess, you might need parental involvement to see a psychologist/get a prescription. But that would be your best option legally.
Once you get into college your IEP/504 ceases to exist. You can still get some level of accommodation under 504, but you’ll need to talk to a counselor at the college to figure out what you can get/do.
I think this will all depend on a formal diagnosis though. So if you can’t get that, you can always buy adderall off of someone and then experiment with low dosages until you find something that works for you. Low dose is key, otherwise you’ll turn into a zombie and everyone will definitely notice something is up.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. It really sucks to be in an area where these services aren’t freely available. In the meantime, you’ll unfortunately have to take matters into your own hands. If you can’t get Adderall, try and get some noise-cancelling headphones and listen to something non-intrusive while you work, if possible. Ask a trusted teacher for help setting up a schedule that you can tick off as you finish tasks. Remove as many distractions from your room as possible, even if it’s removing the power cable from your tv or Xbox or whatever. Use the screen time app on your phone to limit how often you can use certain apps.
You can probably also ask some of your teachers to give you accommodations without actually having an IEP/504. Just tell them you’ve had difficulty focusing recently, and it would be cool if they could break assignments down into chunks for you, or give you a simplified list of instructions for large assignments, or give you breaks when you need it. If they’re a good person they’ll do this for you without a formal document, and chances are they have to do this for other students anyway.
I hope some of this will help you. Best of luck this year comrade.
Yet another struggle session :xi-shining:
