No. They are not.

Half of them are the obnoxious trust fund goons who lived on your floor in the dorms and had posters of Che on their walls. They generally came from wealth and this anti-capitalist rhetoric is just them rebelling against their parents. Their dad is probably a non-practicing jew who drives a VW Phaeton . They don't know their birth mothers too well but their step moms are probably women who graduated from high school two classes ahead of themselves. The obnoxious goons who base their entire personality on these kinds of interactions, they pride themselves on being "disliked for speaking truth to power".

The other half are shitheel trolls who are too wrapped up in their own attempts at edgy bullshit to understand the difference between "it's just a joke, bro" and "just drink the fucking kool-aid, bro".

Neither of those groups have any sense of self awareness.

So nah, they aren't communists.

No platform is free of them. All depends how big it is as to how much attention they give it.
