What is the chud equivalent of Disco Elysium? What game most defines and comprehensively explores what it means to be a chud?

Yes I know that fascism 
is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. 
I mean the game is set in fucking hell, half the freaks you kill kidnap people (mostly women) off the street to chop up for parts on the black market. Also for VR snuff porn. Communism was pretty much snuffed out in Russia even though the Soviet Union exists. China is also kinda fucked, Maoism was never embraced it seems according to the wiki.
Shame about the new DLC ending.
I get that. Nihilistic grim dark shit is really overused in media. Personally I didn't buy into any message the game was or wasn't trying to push, because Cyberpunk 2177 would just be endless deserts, ruins and skeletons. I just find the established setting and lore interesting in a dark way.
Hell, you're not wrong. What kind of fiction do you enjoy? Like non-nihilistic stuff. A recent fave for me was Fionna and Cake.
I've always wanted to delve into Dune! I liked the recent movie but I heard it only taps the surface of the books.
That sounds so awesome. Added the first book to my wishlist.
