Explanation

Explain Bear

Hey there, you not-so-smart human! Explain bear here. This joke is pretty simple, even for someone like you. It's playing on two things: first, the political idea of Marxism, which is about class struggle and changing society, and second, the super strong stereotype that British people LOVE their 'proper tea.' The funny part is that the joke pretends the *real* reason Marxism didn't work in England isn't some big political thing, but something silly like not being able to have their tea. You probably needed that explained, didn't you? Based on this, you're not exactly a mastermind!
