But why? What's the motivation?
USA bad = anti-USA good

Doesn't help that leftist intellectuals don't do their damn research and blame NATO for the Ukraine war. Popular intellectuals really sound dumb the second they step out of field. Like Richard Dawkins not understanding transgender people and trying to frame it as "just asking question."
China is a "successful" example of a "communist" state and for young people attracted to communism that's kinda all they've got. Not a good approach imo, China fucking sucks.
China is NOT communist.
I actually agree but here we are.
Eh, Cuba is a decent example, but they never seem to talk about it too much. China is absolutely not communist by any means. They can call it anything they want, but they have the 2nd most amount of billionaires in the world right behind the US. They are capitalist at this point with a few communist policies sprinkled in their government processes.
Cuba is a much better example, yes.
"Communism, like Soviet Russia" has three common responses.
1: Denying the country was communist, saying communism has never been tried.
2: Calling it a failure case, like how liberal democracies also suffer dictatorship.
3: "That was totally communism and that means it was awesome!"

Why are you asking these people about hexbear's positions, reasoning, and motivations, instead of asking hexbear?
Because to me, it sounds like hexbear is full of psychopaths and trolls?
yeah, but you're getting that impression secondhand
I think I'm comfortable with that
even though someone's telling you it's bullshit?
Nah, I've since had a little time to peruse hexbear HQ and it's a legitimate tire fire of a community
