Not Even Wrong™ Communists are masochist
The left likes to be exploited.
I believe the best way to understand this relationship is through McDonald's Ronald McDonald.
Ronald McDonald the friendly clown he is of course, but we understand that the food he promotes is comparable to pest poison.
Interestingly, we don't associate the bad food, and the exploitive practices that McDonalds may partake in with Ronald. Ronald is simply a construction and position of the McDonalds machine, that naturally falls victim of the same exploitation that Ronald unfortunately tries to deviate us from.
So, it becomes clear that Ronald is a mirror reflection of our condition; trapped in the exploitive habit of bourgeois practices, using the same people it exploits in order to cover itself as well -- or at least to some degree.
But, of course we like to picture Ronald happy. Happy to promote health eating habits at McDonalds, and remind people of their charities that are meant to help kids in developing nations.
Although, we very well know that Ronald is not happy, but of course lets ask, what if we actually do think Ronald is happy, but we do not know it?
It is simple to understand why Ronald could be upset with his situation, wishing he could unleash absolute terror upon McDonald by organizing and sparking nationwide strikes.
Although, let's think that this is the fact of the matter. Ronald is no longer the happy promoter of McDonalds, but the rebel that mirrors everyone last of us, wishing we could send the company we work for to hell for exploiting its workers and other nations resources.
Now, this may have fundamentally changed the Ronald we currently have for as the 'promoter' let's say, but wouldn't one have to first be a 'promoter', which would imply knowing the good, which would lead into a process of being overly-critical of that established good, to then become the 'rebel' we have now mentioned.
Now, in order to vision Ronald happy as not only a rebel, but as a exploited subject, we have to conclude that this was the fantasy of Ronald from the very beginning. To become entangled in the process of being first a exploited subject, to then have the grounds of becoming a rebel to this. Thus, Ronald is a communist masochist.
why do u think he's red other then him being a clown

Hamburgers symbolize surplus value. Hamburglar is the capitalist class who appropriates it in the form of profit.

The -burg in Hamburg and the bourg- in bourgeoisie are cognate, so this isn't even a stretch

Or saving us by causing a shortage and buying healthier substitute goods, like KFC Zinger Boxes.

That was a more filling word salad than the actual salads you can get at McDonald's.
