In Ukraine a dozen or so 'communists' have been exposed as imposters, looking to take funds from various left wing groups, and slow down the movement. The group posed as members and representatives of multiple groups, such as the Young Revolutionary Marxists, while also being in other, supposedly rival groups. The group of hoaxers were very effective, even going so far as to create polemics between the fake groups. But this shows how the left does need to be more cautious, and also how Capitalism would still be a threat after a revolution. This all happened inside communist groups, while post-revolution it would be even easier, as not everyone would yet be communist.
