I was sceptical when it was announced that 5000 soldiers were pulling out of Germany, but now there are new reports that 4000 soldiers are being pulled out of Poland. Are they prepping for a land invasion of Iran or are they prepping to strike at Cuba?

I was originally going to ask this just regarding China, because there is a widely popular opinion that China spies on you more than other countries. This obviously isn't true as in the West your privacy on and offline isn't respected at all.

How is privacy (online offline) viewed here? I'm not bothered having my identity, face, fingerprints being scanned if it's used for the betterment of the collective society. I saw those videos of people at Shanghai airport scanning their face to see which gate their plane is at and thought it was cool, but a lot of people I talk to are really uneasy about this.

What was the context, reasons and other variables that made them fall out and disagree/dislike each other?

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to articulate to people that this conflict isn't just "Russia bad, Ukraine good" and that Ukraine is riddled with Nazis and is a NATO proxy being supported largely by the US.

I've gotten a couple of responses, one of them being "I strongly believe Ukraine is currently the best and strongest military in the world, their advances in weaponry are incredible and they were able to defend themselves properly even now that the US has abandoned them".

I don't think this is true at all, I think maybe the West is just arming and funding them to continue the pressure on Russia and also tried to explain what Nazis they are, to which I mostly got "this isn't relevant".

I would love more credible, proper, Marxist resources that I could read and counter them more properly next time on these matters, the Prolewiki article is nice, but it isn't enough to de-brainwash these people and doesn't provide me with enough language.

So Jerboa won't work on certified Android devices anymore or rather only on lineageos or grapheneos. Due to various reasons I can't use those OS, is there another way of continuing to use Jerboa or is my best option to access Lemmygrad through the browser?

This was a question or rather a series of questions I heard over the weekend as I was discussing Marxism, class, labour etc. with a friend and I frankly couldn't really answer their questions. So here I am again asking it because this community provides incredible answers <3

The discussion was about work and their question was: "If class is abolished in communism and the people are taken care of, why would anyone work at all? Who is going to work in coffee shops, pick up trash, work in stores etc.? What would be the incentive for people to do anything productive?" I did my best saying that those jobs would still exist, but I kind of fumbled the argument.

Along with UBI (Universal Basic Income) are these two just liberal bullshit in some sense or am I mis-analising?

A couple of questions because I'm still uneducated on these things:

• Why do anarchists hate Marxists?
• Are anarchists and ultras the same thing?
• Are Trotskyists ultras and do they dislike Marxists?
• What are the differences between Trotskyists, Maoists and Hoxhaists? Are any of them comrades?

Kind of a weird question I guess, but I wanted to know if I could somehow apply dialectical materialism to a game like Chess. Idk, it's Friday and I have brain space to think about these things.

I guess just title? I don't understand this move, Orban is notorious for being buddies with Putin so why would he accept the USA's support? Opportunism or? Also by "attacking Brussels" I meant that Vance was saying they were meddling with the Hungarian elections.

Essentially the title. Are there any orgs that actually have any semblance of influence in the west or are at the very least gaining it?

If not, shout out your local orgs that you like if you have any.
