Maybe I'm dating myself, but when I see comments like this it reminds me of Home Alone. Specifically the part of Home Alone where Kevin's siblings are telling him lurid and outlandish horror stories about the old guy who lives next door, which all obviously turn out to be wild bullshit.

I think of this when I see people who have clearly only heard about hexbear secondhand from the bitterly banned, try to make fun of it with no real information to work from. Yeah man, we're all communists but we all somehow missed the memo about 1991, that makes sense. You remind me of when I used to be a liberal who made Winnie the pooh jokes to Chinese people, just so far out of your depth that you can't even perceive how deeply embarrassing you're being.

Most of the hexbear people I run into here are not even communists and barely know the first thing about communism (there are a few exceptions).

Most are just wumaos (or 50 cent army) who dogmatically post the "CPC" party line, or whatever RT is posting, as well as posting right wingers and neoliberals like the Daily Caller or Jeffery Sachs because they agree with the propaganda they're consuming/spreading. They have George Bush level logic: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" assuming that if the US is bad then, transitively, Russia and China are good. The idea that all three are terrible, in different ways, seems to be too much for them.

Well damn, I guess I must have hallucinated all the monthly book clubs. But hey, I don't want to be trafficking with fake communists, so I'm very glad I ran into you! Can you please tell me where the hexbears have gone wrong so that I and others may avoid repeating their mistakes? It's only the comradely thing to do, and besides, it would be dangerous and irresponsible to leave misinformation uncountered. So, what is the "first thing" about communism that they're missing?
