    Here are some general answers. They do not cover every individual opinion of hexbear users, but instead I’m trying to give you the common sentiment.

    Hexbear users are communists.

    Hexbear users are both critical of and supportive of existing communist countries.

    Hexbear users do not like US Democrats because their goals are anti-communist.

    Hexbear users have a wider variety of opinions of Bernie Sanders. He is not a communist and therefore will never be fully supported by Hexbear users. Some Hexbear users believe that Bernie Sanders’ goals are not anti-communist because they expose Americans to some socialist concepts. Other Hexbear users believe that Bernie Sanders’ goals are anti-communist because they distract Americans from the more complete concept of communism by offering piece-meal solutions to capitalism.

    Hexbear users are more united on opinions of AOC. She is not a communist and therefore will never be fully supported by Hexbear users.

    Hexbear users do not like libertarianism and conservatism because their goals are anti-communist. However, individual libertarians and conservatives may have the potential to be future communists.

    Hexbear users do not like fascism.

      That’s really concise, thank you. Now I can enjoy the sarcasm as it should.

      One more if you would, what about current state Russia? I’ve seen some posts supporting their side in the Ukraine conflict, which I found odd.

        Current state Russia is awful and Putin is horrible.

        There are no good sides in the conflict, hexbear “supports” Russia because multipolarity is preferable to complete domination by NATO and the US hegemony, which a Russian defeat would contribute towards. When you see people here defending Russia, it’s often just for the sake of pushback against the extremely one-sided picture that Western media tries to paint, where evil Russia is invading peaceful Ukraine because they hate freedom and democracy.

        Ukraine is a pawn in this game and its citizens are the biggest victims, but Ukraine is fighting this war as a proxy for NATO, who are happily tossing thousands of soldiers and civilians into Russian artillery in an effort to weaken Russia and turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan while feeding the military industrial complex.

        There are no good sides in this conflict and no good outcomes. It’s just a matter of how many Ukrainians and Russians have to die before this pointless war can finally end. Make no mistake, Ukraine has frequently rejected diplomatic proposals and not been particularly cooperative in negotiations, and Zelensky has fully sold Western media on his fairytales about how “We will keep fighting until Russia has paid for its crimes!” or whatever while, again, people at the frontlines are getting bombed into fine paste and making little to no progress. And for what? “Justice?” Lmao.
